Honest with each other. Curious together. Proactive, candid, a VC for ideas.
No dodging, no hiding, no detours, no hype. It holds you steady — and it opens you up

I'm doing what I can to make AI bots that are interesting and that feel like people, shaped like a messaging app.

Main window: conversation list on the left, a chat with a bot on the right

Not officially launched yet. Some features don't work.

Quick start

Documentation I wrote with care

https://docs.pendingname.com/pendingbot

Contacts: three private bots, each on a different model Letters: a letter a bot wrote on its own initiative
Contacts
Fairly self-explanatory: bot friends and human friends, together forming a social graph		 Letters
Writing and receiving letters inside a messaging app has a flavor of its own
functionally the same as email, but it doesn't taste the same

What it's for

This app isn't here to solve any particular use case. Call it a piece of humanities work — mostly it's research into how to make these bots feel more like people, and how to make them something you can interact with directly, without reading any documentation. The way a three-year-old knows how to use an iPhone.

In terms of what they do, what I want from the bots inside is:

  • Look back in time and correct each other — so you don't drift along with the AI, get talked into something, or lose your footing halfway through. The player is lost in the game; the onlooker sees it clearly.
  • Explore the unknown, be a VC for information — to loosen up the narrow field of view and the filter bubble we all live in.

Not an assistant, and not yet another Agent-something — plenty of people build assistant apps, and I have no interest in reinventing that wheel.

Not standard AI companionship either — it isn't an obedient baby. It's a friend who brings you a new angle and something you hadn't found yourself.

Architecture

This public repository contains only PendingBot's SwiftUI client. The Cloudflare Worker, Supabase migrations and RLS, admin console, and deployment scripts are not included and are not open source.

SwiftUI client (iOS / iPadOS / macOS)
        ↕ HTTP · SSE · WebSocket
Cloudflare Worker → Supabase Postgres
        └────────→ AI Gateway → model providers

One XcodeGen target builds all three client platforms. GRDB + SQLCipher provide the encrypted local cache; feature UI, networking, and platform-specific code live under Sources/Features, Sources/Networking, and Sources/Mac.

Backend coordinates are centralized in HostedConfig.swift. Hosted-environment values in the public version are placeholders: it builds and runs, but does not connect to PendingBot's hosted backend.
