Send your bot to do the boring part. DotSpeak is async messaging with real AI muscle. FETCH — Tell a bot what you want ("sell my Civic," "get the quote"), then send it to someone or drop it as a Dot. It has the conversation and brings back the result. POW WOW — The group chat that actually decides. A built-in AI host plans the trip, splits the bill, and picks the place. DOTS — Put an AI on anything. Drop a Dot on a photo, a product, or a place — whoever scans it can talk to it. The Dot is the invite. SPARKS — Little keepsake messages someone opens like a gift. Free to start. Send your bot. Drop a Dot. Talk later. Subscriptions (Plus, Pro) auto-renew unless canceled. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; manage or cancel in Settings.
