iOS messages connector at a glance
iOS messages connector is a hourly life bot shared by @Austen and first listed on 2026-10-25. It describes an hourly routine — fast to react, but it uses your plan on every run, so consider limiting it to working hours. One public catalog lists it, and its x.ai share link was last checked live on 2026-10-25.

Derived from the public description. The live configuration on x.ai is the source of truth — review it before adding.
Before you add iOS messages connector
- Start with a bot that needs no integrations, then add access one account at a time.
- Run it on demand for a few days before you switch on its hourly routine.
- Open the x.ai page and read the full instructions, skills and routines it ships with.
