Introducing Binkit actually does the thing

bink

A personal assistant (that texts back)

in iMessage & FaceTime

Dovas & Justas

The idea

Every assistant wants its own app

We already have two we never close. So Bink moved in there.

Messages FaceTime

One contact (three ways in)

No app to install. Bink is just a name in your phone.
