What is Chert?
Based on community signals so far, Chert is a tool designed to build AI agents that can communicate via iMessage. It appears to enable developers to create conversational agents that interact with users through Apple's messaging platform. The problem it solves is integrating AI agent capabilities directly into iMessage, allowing for seamless, native messaging experiences without requiring users to switch to a separate app. This could be useful for customer support, personal assistants, or automated notifications. As of now, public documentation is limited, and the tool seems to be in early stages. The evidence comes from a Product Hunt listing, suggesting it may be a new launch. Further details on installation, API usage, and specific features are not yet widely available.
