Aaron Kaufer's Assistant

A private text line for one family

Aaron Kaufer's Assistant is a personal AI assistant run by Aaron Kaufer, a sole proprietor in San Francisco, California. It texts only three people: Aaron himself, his fiancée and his brother. It answers their questions in one-to-one and group text conversations they started or agreed to join: travel times, plans, reminders and information lookups.

How people opt in

This line is not open to the public and has no sign-up form. Opt-in is verbal and in person:

  1. Aaron Kaufer asks the family member, in person, whether they want to use the assistant, and tells them: By giving me your phone number, you agree to receive text messages from Aaron Kaufer's Assistant with answers to your questions and requests. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Your mobile information will not be sold or shared with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes.
  2. If they agree, Aaron records their mobile number.
  3. The assistant then sends one confirmation text before anything else: Aaron Kaufer's Assistant: you've agreed to receive texts answering your questions. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.

The assistant never starts a conversation with anyone who has not opted in this way.
