Build and deploy conversational iMessage agents for customer service, inbound lead capture, and more.

Hey everyone! I'm Gary, co-founder of Chert (YC P26).
Chert is launching Vapi for FaceTime. In a few lines of code, you can deploy an AI agent that answers and places FaceTime calls, sees what the user shows their camera, and responds in real time.
Here's why we're fired up about this: every voice agent shipping today is blind. It can only handle what a customer can describe, so the second a problem is visual (e.g. "which cable goes where?", "what's this error on my screen?"), a human has to jump in. The most natural fix is video.
Now any builder can put an agent on the single most trusted and already-installed video channel: FaceTime. Remote support that can actually see the problem. Telehealth intake that reads the room. Onboarding that walks you through it live. This is the interface AI has been missing.
Try it right now: FaceTime +1 310 279 2297 and check out https://www.trychert.com/facetime
Would love any feedback or thoughts!
FaceTime is pretty US/Apple-centric, isn't WhatsApp the bigger market globally?
Chert
@arun_pratap_singh7 Yes, we have plans to expand to WhatsApp messaging + video calling in the future!
Can this be used for KYC or identity verification on a video call? Feels like a pretty cool and interesting use case
Chert
@abhi_singh4000 Yes, visual identity verification could actually be more robust than a lot of the current identity verification infrastructures over text, email, or calls today
How do you handle privacy and consent for the video stream, especially for regulated use cases?
Chert
@rajesh_gupta__ We encrypt user information so that it is never exposed
The latency on the live demo is better than I expected, really impressed!
Chert
@maurya_abhiranjan Thank you!
What are the use cases of this?
Chert
@vimal_singh6 Use cases could be anything from remote support to field service, telehealth intake, or guided onboarding!
