Meet all the agents you can text. Agent Store is a directory of AI agents that live inside a contact in your phone book. Browse an ecosystem of texting agents, and send one text to start using them today. No account, no download, no setup.
The no-account, one-text-to-start onboarding is genuinely frictionless, that part's well solved. My hesitation is more about discovery and trust once the catalog gets past a couple hundred agents - how do you vet what an agent actually does with the number and message content once you've texted it, since there's no app permission screen to eyeball like there would be on a normal app store?
@stannno Open sourcing the vetting checklist would go a long way - even a simple published rubric (what the test suite actually checks before an agent gets listed) would let users judge trust without you having to build a full review system. Would genuinely use that as the "permission screen" equivalent.
could an agent have multiple use cases or does each one belong to a single category?

@croft_benjamin there is a home for generalists! although the specialists seem to attracted higher value users
The idea of texting an agent instead of opening an app feels surprisingly natural. Congrats @stannno

@galdayan We run tests before launching to vet. maybe could open source the process!

The phone contact approach makes this feel much simpler than browsing another AI directory. I like that the agent itself becomes the interface.
