Meet Sundae: A Text‑Only Personal AI Agent That Gets Real‑World Tasks Done

US startup sundae_bar announced on October 15 that it is rolling out the beta of Sundae, a personal AI agent you control entirely over text messages. There’s no new app to install: users simply send an iMessage or RCS message to Sundae’s phone number and type what they need done. Behind the scenes, Sundae runs on its own cloud computer with a browser, handling tasks as a kind of digital worker rather than a simple chatbot.

In a letter from the CEO, the company says Sundae can already track stock and token prices, follow kids’ sports schedules and alert you to changes, book restaurant reservations, find places to eat when you land in a new city, and even generate podcast‑style audio to learn about new topics. Crucially, Sundae keeps long‑term context across conversations and can proactively ping you when something it’s monitoring changes.

Sundae builds on the team’s existing commercial AI platform for businesses, where companies subscribe to ready‑made agents or have custom ones built. The consumer beta is meant to bring that “AI coworker” model to individuals in the most lightweight way possible. By living inside messaging apps people already use all day, Sundae is positioning itself as a low‑friction entry point into serious, task‑oriented AI agents.
