How it works

One text. You are connected.

There is no phone number to type and no password to share. The text you send is the proof that the number is yours.

  1. 01

    Scan the code

    Sign in and choose Connect iMessage. A code appears on your screen. Point your iPhone camera at it.

  2. Hi Theo! Connect my OpenCharts account with code K7Q4-M9XP
    02

    Send the text

    Messages opens with a short text already written. Send it as it is. That is how Theo knows it is you.

  3. You're connected to s•••@example.com. Text me the way you would in Theo Chat. Ask for a deck, a doc, an image or a site, or send a photo, a file or a voice note. Reply /help to see everything I can do here. If that isn't your account, reply STOP. What should we make first?

    03

    Ask for anything

    Theo answers in the same thread, and that thread is where you find him from then on. Text him from the train, between meetings or from the couch.

Already on your phone? The same screen has an Open Messages button instead of a code.

Example screens. The real code is made for your account.

What you can text

Say what you need. Theo makes it.

What Theo does in Theo Chat, he does over text. What he makes is saved to your OpenCharts account, so you can open it, share it and keep editing.

@Atlas chase the invoices from last week

Atlas found 14 unpaid invoices and drafted a reminder for each.

A job for a worker

Start a text with @ and the name of a Theo Agent worker. That worker picks the job up.

Example conversations. What Theo makes opens in OpenCharts.

Theo Agent

A worker asks. A tapback answers.

When one of your workers needs your say before it acts, Theo texts you exactly what it wants to do. You decide from wherever you are.

  • A thumbs up approves

    Tapback a thumbs up or a heart and the worker goes ahead. A thumbs down tells it not to.

  • A worker can ask

    When a worker is unsure, it texts you the question. Reply with a number or in your own words.

  • Stop it from anywhere

    Text /stop and the running work stops. /pause holds a worker until you text /resume.

You are in charge

Your number. Your rules.

Theo texts you because you asked him to, and he stops the moment you say so.

  • Connected by you

    A number is only ever connected by a text sent from it. Theo's first reply names the account it joined.

  • STOP means stop

    Reply STOP and Theo goes quiet at once. Text him again whenever you want him back.

  • Gone when you say

    Disconnect any time in Settings, under Integrations. The conversation Theo kept is deleted with the connection.

  • The same account

    Texting Theo uses your plan and your AI credits, the same as Theo Chat.

Questions

Before you text

What do I need to text Theo?
An OpenCharts account and an iPhone with iMessage turned on. Once you are connected, the conversation is in Messages on your iPad and your Mac too.
How do I connect my number?
Sign in and choose Connect iMessage. On a computer, point your iPhone camera at the code on the screen. Messages opens with a short text already written. Send it and you are connected. On a phone, the same screen has an Open Messages button instead of a code.
Why do I send a text instead of typing my number?
Because the text proves the number is yours. Theo only connects a number that texted him a code made for your account, and his first reply names the account it joined. The code works once and runs out after ten minutes.
What can Theo do over text?
What he does in Theo Chat. Ask for a presentation, a document, a flowchart, notes, an image, a video or a site, ask a question, or hand a job to one of your Theo Agent workers. What he makes is saved to your account and arrives in the thread as a link, a picture or a file.
Can I send photos, files and voice notes?
Yes. Send a photo to have it described or restyled, a PDF or a document to have it read and summarized, or a voice note instead of typing.
Can Theo answer out loud?
Yes. Turn on Voice memo replies in Settings, or reply /voice on, and a short answer arrives as a voice memo instead of a text. Anything with a link, a list or a lot of detail still comes as text.
Does Theo answer in my language?
Yes. Theo answers in the language your OpenCharts account is set to, and when you write to him in another language he answers in that one.
What does Theo keep from our conversation?
The last seven days of the thread, so a follow-up like make it shorter makes sense. After that it is deleted, and disconnecting deletes it at once. What Theo made for you stays in your account.
Does it cost extra?
No. Texting Theo comes with your OpenCharts plan, and what he makes uses the same AI credits as Theo Chat.
How do I stop the texts?
Reply STOP and Theo goes quiet at once. Text him again whenever you want him back. To remove the connection completely, open Settings, then Integrations, and choose Disconnect.
Does it work on Android?
Theo answers on iMessage, which needs an Apple device. On any other phone, Theo Chat works in the browser.
Can everyone connect right now?
We are opening iMessage in stages. If a month fills up, the connect screen says so and new connections wait until there is room. Anyone already connected keeps texting.

Go on. Text him.

Connect once. After that it is just a conversation.
