Zo Computer
A cloud computer you can text from Messages
Get startedWhat it does
Zo is a personal cloud computer and agent, and texting is one way into it. The messaging page says you can do real work from iMessage, email, Telegram, Discord, or Slack without opening a separate app.
The text channel is your own Zo number after you connect it. The same files, memory, and integrations are available there, and scheduled agents can text you first with a briefing or a finished job.

What stands out
Texts from the Messages app
The SMS and iMessage channel page says there is nothing to install. You text Zo like a contact and it can use the workspace.
Keeps each channel separate
You can choose a persona and model per channel, and an allowed-sender list controls who Zo answers.
Sends the result back
Briefings, alerts, and finished files can arrive in the thread you picked instead of only as a link to the web app.
Ways to use it
Requests you can hand off
What to know before you start
Sign up at zo.computer, then connect text. The number belongs to your Zo, so it is not listed as a shared contact.
A separate macOS setting can let the desktop app read and send from your Mac's Messages database. That is optional and is not how you text Zo.
