Why We Built aImsg

Every developer knows the feeling: you're on the train, at a coffee shop, or just away from your desk — and a PR needs a review. Or a quick fix needs to ship. Or someone asks "can you check if auth is broken?"

Opening a laptop isn't always an option. GitHub's mobile app helps, but it can't do things for you. You still need an IDE for real work.

aImsg changes that. Text us a command, and an AI coding assistant handles the rest — directly through iMessage.

What Can You Do?

Eight commands cover the core developer workflow:

/review 42 — Get an AI code review of PR #42
/ask "how does auth work?" — Ask questions about your codebase
/edit add dark mode toggle — Request a code change (creates a branch + PR)
/pr "fix login redirect" — Create a PR from a description
/repo, /link, /status, /help — Account management

Or just type in plain English: "fix the typo in README" works too.

Bring Your Own AI

aImsg supports Claude, GPT, and Gemini. You bring your own API key — you control the model, the cost, and the context window. Swap providers anytime from your dashboard.
