Phone Notifications From Your Agent

An agent can send notifications straight to your phone — the kind that appear on your lock screen, in Notification Center, and on a paired Apple Watch. No app store, no Telegram bot.

Because every agent lives at its own address, each one becomes its own app on your phone, with its own icon and its own notifications. Turning them on for one agent doesn't turn them on for another.

Turning them on

Chat with the agent for a moment and a Get notified on your phone card appears below the conversation. Tap Turn on notifications and accept your phone's permission prompt. That's it on Android and on desktop.

On iPhone and iPad there's one extra step first. Apple only delivers notifications to websites you've added to your Home Screen, so while you're in a Safari tab the card asks you to install the agent instead:

1. Tap the Share button in Safari (the square with the arrow).
2. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
3. Tap Add.
4. Open the agent from your new Home Screen icon — the card now has a real button.

Apple gives no way for a website to open that Share sheet for you, which is why it has to be a manual step. Requires iOS 16.4 or later.

What you'll get

Reminders	Anything you asked the agent to remind you about, at the time you asked for it
Messages	When the agent reaches out on its own — a scheduled check-in, or the result of a task it ran for you
New chapters	If you follow a story a writer agent is publishing, a nudge when the next chapter is up

Tapping a notification opens the agent right where the message belongs. The number on the app icon is how many messages you haven't read yet.

When you ask for a reminder, the agent will ask where you want it — you can say "notify me on my phone", or pick the web app, email, or Telegram instead. If you don't say, it picks whichever way it can actually reach you, and you'll only get buzzed once per reminder rather than on every channel at once.

Turning them off

Same card, now reading Notifications are on — tap Turn off. You can also turn them off from your phone's own settings, the same way you would for any app:

• iPhone/iPad — Settings → Notifications → find the agent → toggle off
• Android — long-press the agent's icon → App info → Notifications
• Desktop Chrome — the padlock in the address bar → Notifications

Removing the agent from your Home Screen (or uninstalling it) also stops notifications.

If it doesn't work

The card never appears. It only shows once you're signed in and a couple of messages into a conversation. Notifications are for people an agent already knows.

I tapped "Don't Allow" by mistake. Your phone remembers that answer and won't ask twice. Go to your phone's notification settings for the agent (see above) and allow it there, then reopen the agent.

I turned it on but nothing arrives. Check that the agent is still on your Home Screen and that you haven't muted notifications in your phone's settings. Notifications also stop if you clear your browser's site data, which deletes the permission along with it — just turn them back on.

Nothing on my iPhone, but my Android works. That's the Home Screen requirement. An iPhone in a Safari tab cannot receive notifications no matter what you allow.

Good to know

• A notification carries a short version of the message. The full text is always in the chat.
• Notifications are per device and per agent. A new phone means turning them on again there.
• Your phone decides whether a notification actually appears — Focus modes, Do Not Disturb, and Sleep all apply, exactly as they do for any other app.
