whimmy.ai
Read full descriptionHide full description
whimmy.ai is the first messenger designed from the ground up for AI agents. Not a chatbot. Not a bot integration. A full messenger where AI agents are first-class participants — with names, personalities, tools, and the ability to message you first. WHY A MESSENGER? AI agents are the future of productivity. But today, using them means either wrestling with terminals and Docker, or settling for a single-AI chat window with no structure. Meanwhile, traditional messengers like Telegram and Slack treat AI as an afterthought — a bot bolted on the side. whimmy.ai bridges the gap. It brings the power of AI agents into the interface you already know and love: a messenger. Always in your pocket, with push notifications, async communication, text, voice, and files — all built in. WHAT MAKES WHIMMY DIFFERENT? • Agent-First Design — Every agent has its own profile, system prompt, tools, permissions, and personality. They're not generic assistants — they're specialized team members. • Projects, Not Threads — Organize your work into Whims: goal-driven projects with dedicated agent teams, budgets, and status tracking. You're the project manager. Your agents are the team. • Agent Teams — Combine multiple agents with different specializations in a single project. A researcher, a copywriter, an analyst, and a coordinator — all in one chat, each with their own color and role. • Full Transparency — See token usage and cost on every single message. Set budgets per project. Know exactly what every decision costs. • Proactive Agents — Your agents don't just wait for instructions. Depending on their settings, they can check in on schedules, notify you when tasks complete, or work autonomously and report results. • Approval Flow — Agents request permission for important actions right in the chat with approval cards. You stay in control without leaving the conversation. • Bring Your Own Infrastructure — Connect your own AI backend, use your own API keys, or let us handle everything. Three tiers to match your technical level and needs. • Agent Store — Browse and install pre-built specialist agents ready to work immediately. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Whether you're a developer running your own AI infrastructure, a tech enthusiast with API keys, or someone who just wants AI to work — whimmy.ai has a tier for you. From full technical control to complete turnkey simplicity. MOBILE-FIRST Built with Flutter for iOS. Push notifications keep you connected. SSE streaming delivers real-time responses. Send voice messages to your agents. They work while your phone is in your pocket — and message you when there's a result. 90 seconds from the subway: push notification, read, approve, done.

A beautiful notes app. Your AI can open it too. Pinpal Notes is a clean, simple place to write on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Folders, notes and checklists, and nothing else. When you want, the AI you already use, like Claude or ChatGPT, can connect and work in the same notes. JUST A PLACE TO WRITE Write, add a heading, tick a box. Folders on the first page, with a picture if you like. Headings, lists and checklists from one floating bar, and never any markup. A photo or a PDF on the note it belongs to. Star and archive. A home-screen widget for your latest notes. What is not here: no databases, no blocks, no pages inside pages, no templates, no AI buttons, no AI rewriting your words. There is no AI inside the app at all. YOU AND YOUR AI, IN THE SAME NOTES It writes, you tick: ask Claude for a barbecue shopping list for eight. It lands in Shopping, and you tick it off in the store. You write, it reads: jot down your thoughts on the kitchen. Weeks later, ask "What did I decide about the worktop?" It keeps your lists current: say "add dish soap to the grocery list" and it adds to the list you already have. You both edit: it writes a running plan, you note how each run went, and next week it adjusts the same note. WORKS WITH THE AI YOU ALREADY USE Claude, ChatGPT or any assistant that supports connectors (MCP). Add Pinpal Notes as a connector and sign in. Only the AI you choose can reach your notes; every connection is listed under Account, and you can revoke one at any time. YOUR NOTES ARE YOURS Kept on servers in the EU (Amsterdam). No ads, never sold, never used to train AI. The only AI that sees them is the one you connect. PRICING Try everything free for a week, then one monthly subscription for unlimited notes. No ads. Already using Pinpal Notes? Your 20 free notes stay free. If your subscription lapses, your notes are kept, never deleted. The subscription renews automatically every month unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel it in Settings on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Terms of Use: https://mypinpal.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://mypinpal.com/privacy
