Messages runtime and Phone Assistant
A private runtime for reading and sending Apple Messages from software, and the assistant built on it: you text it, and it texts back.

There is no public API for iMessage. Our messages runtime runs on a Mac we control, reads conversations scoped to one account, and sends through a single direct writer that only acts with approval. It does not depend on any one client, so the same runtime serves several products.
Phone Assistant is the first of them. A business owner texts their assistant the way they would text a person. It answers, schedules its own reminders and handles the surrounding work, with each new capability added for that owner deliberately rather than all at once.
The aim is the owner's own reach, not automation in their name: telling them who is waiting, preparing the reply, and leaving the sending to them unless they want otherwise. Wondering's interviews run on the same runtime.
