# Comms

> Launch AI agents inside iMessage that sell, book, and support customers — live in 30 seconds with no code required.

Comms is a platform built by Osis that lets businesses deploy AI agents directly inside iMessage threads. Created by a two-person founding team (Cale and Andrew), it positions itself as the most affordable way to run a dedicated iMessage agent line, with a no-code builder and a REST API for developers.

## What It Is

Comms lets you describe an agent in plain English and have it live on an iMessage line within 30 seconds — no Apple developer account, no hosting, no code required. The agent handles sales conversations, demo bookings, customer support, trial onboarding, and follow-ups inside the messaging thread people actually read. Developers can also plug directly into a single REST API or Node SDK to build custom integrations.

## How the Platform Works

The core workflow is straightforward: describe your agent, add knowledge (product info, FAQs, policies), and the agent goes live on an iMessage line. Key platform capabilities include:

- **Native iMessage experience** — typing indicators, read receipts, and real delivery so the agent reads like a person texting
- **Human handoff** — when a thread needs a person, it lands in your inbox with full context and the automated path stops
- **Knowledge base** — workspace-wide material supports every agent; agent-specific material stays scoped
- **Inbox** — a shared inbox for monitoring and managing conversations
- **API access** — messages, agents, and delivery behind a single key, available on every plan

## Deployment Model

Comms offers three line types across its plans. Free and Plus plans share a platform line (not a dedicated number). The Dedicated tier gives businesses their own number with a chosen area code, handling 5,000–7,000 messages per day. Enterprise is available for teams needing custom volume, compliance review, or solutions engineering. The site notes $0 setup and no Apple developer account is required at any tier.

## Reliability and Transparency

The homepage publishes live uptime figures from the same monitors behind the status page at status.osis.co. The site reports 99.86% uptime on iMessage lines and 99.97% on verification code delivery over a 24-hour window, with a median agent reply time of 4.4 seconds.

## Competitive Positioning

Comms explicitly compares itself to named competitors on its homepage. The site states that a dedicated iMessage line runs $100–289/month elsewhere (citing Sendblue at $100, Linq at ~$200 plus ~$700 setup, Photon at $250, and Blooio at $289) and that those prices buy the line alone. Comms frames its Plus plan as including agents, inbox, and human handoff at a lower monthly cost, and its Dedicated plan as providing a full dedicated line at $200/month.

## Why It Matters for Startups

The platform targets startups across SaaS sales, demo booking, support, trial onboarding, website traffic conversion, invoicing, winbacks, and launch updates. The manifesto and homepage copy emphasize that iMessage is "the thread people actually read," making it a higher-engagement channel than email or web chat for business conversations.
