Interface Club is joining @variantui!
As we transition, we're sunsetting iris.fun and buoy.chat on November 15.
We're so incredibly grateful to all of you who believed in us. Read more: https://t.co/avsJ1taBFR
This is a great example of why once you’ve used a personal AI assistant with a rich interface, interacting with one through iMessage starts to feel dated.
Before this, Buoy browsed the web to check the latest BART delays, then prepared a doc with all the details.
We built the most secure, simple way to sign an agent into websites from your phone.
The agent never receives your password. Not in the chat, not in the logs.
This works across all sites, and any sign in patterns.
Most people don’t know what they’d use a personal AI for. That’s not a user problem. It’s a product problem.
Today we’re launching a new onboarding for Buoy. Instead of dropping you into a blank chat box, Buoy learns from connected apps and figures out where it can actually help.

Buoy has just a single continuous chat thread, but you can still kick off multiple tasks at once!
We're keeping the interface simple without sacrificing capability
Our team @interfaceclub has been working on a fully redesigned experience for Buoy. We’re building the best AI agent app, both in functionality and design.
We need feedback from a small group of testers who we can work closely with. You'll be trying features like:
• Real time voice mode
• New inline chat UI for text editing and multiple choice
• Agent payments
• Daily digest
• Revamped memory system
• Enhanced web browsing reliability
• New app integrations
And much more!
Buoy can now send reminders and start automations based on your location.
Since it uses your apps and web browser, automations can get pretty powerful:
- “Lmk if arrivals or departures are less crowded when near the airport”
- “Order my usual from Il Canto on the way to work”
We have AI agents that can “do anything” now, but I still find it hard to use them to their full potential
We’re experimenting with a new onboarding flow where Buoy automatically learns how it can help you from your email context. All in less time than an elevator ride
Weirdly I haven’t found any AI agent that has app integrations with full API coverage and multi-account support
We solved this in Buoy by implementing them a little unconventionally..
these new imsg agent looks insane in demo and launch videos but let's see how they perform in doing a real life work.
I'm in mumbai so asked @geniegetsme and @interfaceclub to find me a roof before my current bnb booking ends.
Here's the full review of both
What’s crazy is that buoy can do all of these things… without a human!
It can just directly use DoorDash, uber, and whatever site needed to book dinner reservations.
One of the big perks of building outside imessage is we have browser use that actually works
We built a way to automate virtually any task you can imagine right from your phone
Buoy controls a full browser in the cloud, so web apps like twitter, discord, fb marketplace all work out of the box
Authenticating browser agents into websites is a huge pain on mobile devices
Either you send your password in plain text to the agent, or type directly into a remote browser live streamed to your phone
In this week's Buoy update, @riccqi made it possible to sign into sites using a native webview, complete with password and OTP autofill just like you’d expect
Your login session is then synced to our cloud browser so the agent can keep running even when you close the app!
We’ve completely redesigned Buoy for every release so far. In this week’s update we finally found the right form factor
V1 took inspiration from Safari’s tab UX. We used gesture based navigation to make creating new threads and swapping between them feel effortless.
V2 was akin to the UI of a to-do list. This design optimized for executing long-running async tasks in parallel.
V3 feels more like texting a person in iMessage — it’s a single continuous chat thread. It pairs naturally with long-term memory and encourages you to “teach” the AI when it lacks information or makes a mistake.
Buoy's browser agent now learns about you and improves the more you use it.
We designed a multi-level memory system to remember your preferences, store login sessions, and keep notes on the most efficient way to navigate websites.
And if Buoy thinks you will repeat a workflow in the future, it automatically creates a "skill" that can be reapplied in a single tap.
We’re working on creating the best agentic browsing experience on iOS.
Buoy can operate a browser just like you do, so it can do more than just find information. It can sign into websites, make purchases, book reservations, do research, and more!
