# Talk to your AI hands-free with Siri, CarPlay and Android Auto

> Text your AI agent by voice with Siri or Google Assistant and hear replies read aloud in CarPlay or Android Auto. No new app. Just a contact called My AI.

It's a regular text thread, so Siri, Google Assistant, CarPlay, Android Auto and your watch already know how to use it.

## Example conversation

> **You:** Coffee with a drive-thru near exit 42?
>
> **Your AI:** Two nearby: Blue Fern Coffee (0.4 mi, open till 7) or Ridgeline Roasters (0.8 mi). Blue Fern has the better reviews ☕
>
> **You:** Blue Fern. Directions please
>
> **Your AI:** Here you go: maps.apple.com/?q=Blue+Fern+Coffee

## How it works

Your AI lives in your contacts, so every voice assistant can already reach it. Say “Hey Siri, text My AI: coffee with a drive-thru near exit 42?” and the answer comes back as a text that CarPlay or Android Auto can read aloud.

Out on a run? Reply from your watch. Hands covered in flour? Dictate. You're using an interface you already use dozens of times a day.

## Set it up

1. Connect your agent to AI Text-a-roo: tell it to set you up, or add our MCP server.
2. Save its number as a contact with an easy name to say, like “My AI”.
3. Use Siri, Google Assistant, CarPlay or Android Auto to text that contact, then listen to the reply.

## Tell your agent

```
Set me up with AI Text-a-roo. I'll save your number as “My AI” so I can text you with Siri.
```

## Questions

### Does it work with CarPlay and Android Auto?

Yes. Your AI is a normal contact, so CarPlay and Android Auto treat it like any other text conversation: dictate a message and hear the reply read aloud.

### What do I say to Siri or Google Assistant?

Give the contact a name that's easy to say, like “My AI”. Then say “Hey Siri, text My AI…” or “Hey Google, send a text to My AI…” and dictate.
