About messages.dev
messages.dev provides an API that allows AI agents to send and receive iMessages, enabling automated communication via Apple's messaging service. It bridges the gap between AI automation and personal messaging, allowing for notifications, customer support, or personal assistants via SMS/iMessage.
The service acts as a gateway for programmatic access to the iMessage protocol, likely requiring a Mac server or specific hardware setup. It is designed for developers building agent-based workflows.
