About

AGENTS | Personal assistants

Read full description

AGENTS is the personal assistant app you make your own. Create and name your assistants, choose their connections and permissions, and get help from a native iPhone and iPad experience with Liquid Glass on supported devices. CHAT, VOICE AND YOUR EVERYDAY APPS Talk naturally, reply to individual messages, start fresh conversations and share files or photos. Live voice uses a native-audio model, with optional camera sharing and transcripts in chat. Keep your assistant alongside Maps, Calendar, Mail, Notes and other app spaces. PUT YOUR ASSISTANTS TO WORK Plan your day, research an idea, draft a reply or create a routine. Cloud agent work can continue while your phone is away. Chat requests start directly. Configure review for background work, follow its progress and receive notifications when something needs your attention. Each assistant has separate conversations and workspace files. CONNECT WHAT YOU USE Connect supported services with their provider sign-in where available. Gmail and Google Calendar share one connection flow, currently limited to development accounts pending Google approval. Choose iPhone calendars, reminders, contacts and approximate location. Browse your Apple Music library on your device, create workspace notes, and use Apple Maps place and route cards. Website and navigation handoffs do not confirm bookings. Messaging connections let you talk to your assistant on supported platforms; they do not provide a universal personal inbox. Some services require credentials, a separate bridge or provider approval. CHOOSE YOUR AI Choose among the models available to your account, with usage rates shown in the app. Supported personal ChatGPT/Codex and Claude connections run through the providers’ official agents. Your provider’s availability, limits and charges apply separately. Live voice uses Gemini 2.5 Flash Live through AGENTS credits. KEEP CONTROL Set access for each assistant, pause work, disconnect services and choose how long chat history stays. Account data and credentials are encrypted in cloud storage; cloud processing is not end-to-end encrypted. Live recordings are not saved by AGENTS. Delete your account in the app. PLANS AND CREDITS A limited one-time starter allowance is available subject to capacity. Optional monthly subscriptions include usage credits: Plus includes 1,000; Pro includes 2,500 and one hosted messaging connection; Max includes 5,000 and two hosted messaging connections. An optional 500-credit pack adds non-expiring prepaid credits. Text model rates vary and are displayed in the model picker. Active agent work uses five credits per started 30 seconds. Live voice uses eight credits per 1,000 tokens plus one credit per turn, with a temporary reservation before each reply. Monthly credits reset each billing period and do not roll over. Work pauses when credits run out; there are no automatic overage charges. Prices appear in the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage subscriptions through Apple Account settings. Connected-provider charges are separate. An account and internet connection are required. AI can make mistakes; review results and actions. Your assistants’ names are personal to you; the installed app is called AGENTS.
