Peppi (formerly TxtGPT)
Peppi is a personal AI companion you reach entirely over SMS. You sign up with a phone number, design a buddy with a custom name, personality, backstory, and relationship style, then text them like you would a friend. There is no app to install and no web chat to keep open.
Beyond conversation, Peppi can remember past chats, run live web research, suggest local restaurants and florists, summarize links, and handle day-to-day tasks through Google Calendar and email tools. You can schedule meetings, check availability, set reminders, and email receipts or photos to yourself, all by text.
Peppi supports 20+ languages and works on any phone that can send SMS. New users get 25 free texts with no credit card. Paid plans add monthly SMS allowances, and a $7 top-up is available when you need more messages in a given month.
