Sure, you can build a SaaS in a weekend... 🥱 But can you build an iMessage agent like Poke.com in 12h? 👀👇🏼 Poke.com recently announced their $25m round from General Catalyst and Spark Capital. Tomo's launch went VIRAL and allowed them to grow to 10,000 paying subscribers in just 3 months. Both of them are enabled by Linq, the LEADING agent infrastructure platform for message-based agents. I wanna create the next BIG iMessage agent and I want YOU to be part of it. That's the goal with the Cursor x Linq Hackathon in Copenhagen on August 1st. We'll bring together the MOST CRACKED founders, ex-founders, and first-time founders from Northern Europe to do exactly that! Perhaps YOUR agent will be: - A Chief of Staff agent for founders? - A table booking agent for restaurants? - An iMessage support agent for businesses? I built https://l1nk.ai/r/zdzr6 to prove it's very much possible! So come meet Francisco from Cursor and the Linq team to build YOUR take on an iMessage agent! ARE YOU IN OR WHAT?? Apply at 👉🏼 https://luma.com/vcn-2x4x August 1st, 9am to 9pm! LIMITED SEATS! PS: $$$ cash prizes are involved! 👀 LET'S GOOOOOOOO

Your users never have to leave iMessage again. We just launched the world’s first iMessage Apps API built for scale. Using iMessage apps, agents can now make payments, order food, and (bc we need more fun) play games. To celebrate, you can now play against Claude in GamePigeon at the link below.

Ollie lives in the family group chat. Making that feel simple is anything but. This Wednesday, Linq is dropping a behind-the-scenes conversation with our co-founder Bill Lennon about how we’re building an AI assistant that works where families already coordinate: text. Stay tuned. ollie.ai

Linq is the best place for developers to build on iMessage. Honored to power 8/9 companies on this market map with the other porting over :)
New market map: bringing AI assistants to iMessage 📱 The next major interface for consumer AI? Text messages. People don’t want to open an app every time they need help - they want a contact they can text like a friend. And the gold standard is iMessage. Texts sent via iMessages are much less likely to get carrier-filtered or marked as spam (vs. SMS). iMessage also gives features like typing indicators, read receipts, and link previews. And...people just like blue bubbles 😂 Historically, it's been hard for AI companies to build on iMessage. Apple has no public API. Infra providers solved this by running fleets of real Apple devices on real phone numbers. Now, Apple is opening a front door. Last week, Poke became the first AI agent approved on Apple Messages for Business 👀 More broadly - it's becoming pretty clear that we need to give AI agents / assistants anything a human in the same role would have (e.g. phone numbers, credit cards, email addresses). If you're working on something here at the app or infra layer, please reach out! Companies in this map: AI assistants on iMessage - The Interaction Company of California (Poke), Ollie AI, Nozomio, lucas ai, Orchid, tomo ai, Zo Computer, Lindy, Sauna by Wordware Infra providers - Linq, Chert, Blooio, Sendblue, AgentPhone, Photon

Arden is powered by Linq. Their CTO, Patrick Sullivan, uses Arden to optimize his travel. Yesterday Arden texted Patrick with a rare find. Delta Air Lines was giving away seats in First class for free! 🤯 He approved the change and the AI agent moved him from 26E to 2C. For free. Fully agentically. Living in the future is so fun. In a few years it will seem absurd that people self-managed all their own travel. Top teams like Linq are using Arden to book, manage, and optimize all their travel. Why aren't you?

Your agent should sound like a human. Use our API to do it at scale. Try our sandbox for free today.
We’ve raised $27M for this moment: starting today, your agent gets an iPhone and can talk like a friend. Texting is the universal interface. Billions of people text every day, but until now, developers have been restricted from building on the most powerful channel to ever exist. Linq is a single API for iMessage, RCS, SMS, voice, and even FaceTime and Find My. Nothing for users to download. Nothing new to learn. We’re already powering The Interaction Company of California, Pika, Lindy AI, Zo Computer, Dimension, Tomo (and others we can’t name just yet) to bring this new ecosystem to life. Join them, and start building for free in our sandbox, linked below. Or comment and we’ll get you set up.

Putting out content has done a lot for our brand, but one thing stands out in particular—something I honestly didn’t expect when we started: Attracting talent. It’s amazing how many people want to be part of what you’re building when they can actually see what goes on behind the scenes and get a real sense of what working with you would be like. If you’re going to create content for any reason, do it for that. #startup #entrepreneur #socialmedia #brand

1. Shiny Object Syndrome In the beginning, we said yes to anything that made us money. It helped us generate quick capital — but it also left us scattered with no real identity. Dialing in one specific niche for one specific type of person is what finally allowed us to focus, improve, and build something great. 2. Wearing Every Hat At the start, you sometimes have to do everything yourself. But delaying hiring real talent just to save profit will choke your growth. The best investment you can make is in people. Find people who are smarter than you in their lane, trust them to do what they do best, and take your time back to focus on what actually moves the business forward. Startups scale when the team is full of people who outperform the founder. 3. Partnering Only partner with people who bring something you don’t — skills, capital, or time. If you team up with someone just because they’re your friend and they can’t contribute something unique, roles blur, tension builds, and the business turns into a mess of crossed wires. when you truly find the right people to partner with, not only people that provide a unique value, but also someone you deeply trust and you guys are able to divide and conquer with an equal amount of care for the growth of the company… you become unstoppable. (Also tip if you’re going to Partner with someone, you should try to do three partners instead of two.) Trust me, we’ve been through plenty of these mistakes and 1 million times more Hopefully they help you avoid them.
