SMS + Muse integration
Connect SMS to Muse
ConnectChats brings your SMS chats into Muse. Ask Muse to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Muse can do with your SMS
ConnectChats gives Muse a small set of tools. Muse calls them when you ask about your SMS chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Muse reads your unread SMS chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Muse searches your SMS history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Muse writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own SMS account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.

Link your SMS account

- On iPhone, install the ConnectChats relay on a Mac signed in to Messages, and turn on Text Message Forwarding for that Mac on your iPhone.
- Your chats then appear in the dashboard, where you choose which ones your AI app can see.
-
Pick the chats Muse can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Muse never sees the rest.
-
Ask Muse about your SMS
Open a new conversation in Muse and ask about your chats. Muse calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How SMS and Muse work together
How SMS works with ConnectChats depends on your phone. On Android, ConnectChats pairs with Google Messages the way Google Messages for web does. On iPhone, texts come through a Mac that receives them with Text Message Forwarding.

SMS in ConnectChats
SMS and MMS are supported on both phones, and RCS chats on Android. The phone, or the Mac on iPhone, has to stay on and online, because it is the device that actually sends and receives the texts. When a chat is linked, it starts with its last 200 messages, then everything new. Texts are sent from your own number, after you approve them.

ConnectChats in Muse
Muse is Meta's AI assistant app and works with connectors to other apps and services. ConnectChats plugs in as a connector, so Muse can catch you up on chats from apps beyond Meta's own, such as WhatsApp. Muse asks before important actions, such as sending a message, unless you change that in its settings. ConnectChats adds its own draft approval. Meta does not review custom connectors, so a custom connector only does what the server behind it allows. Facebook, Instagram and Threads connect to Muse through your Meta Accounts Center. Other chat apps, like WhatsApp or Telegram, come in through ConnectChats.
Your SMS stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Muse only sees the SMS chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Muse prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches SMS, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can Muse read my SMS messages?
Yes, once you link SMS in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Muse. Muse reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Muse send SMS messages for me?
Muse can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own SMS account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the SMS to Muse integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Muse and link SMS from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link SMS once and use it everywhere.
Does it use my own phone number?
Yes. Texts go out from your phone through your carrier, exactly as if you had typed them. ConnectChats does not give you a new number.
Do I need a Mac for SMS on iPhone?
Yes. Apple gives no other way to reach iPhone texts, so a Mac that stays on is required. Android does not need one.
Is Muse the same as Meta AI?
Muse is the name of Meta's AI assistant app. If you searched for Meta AI connectors, this is the page.
Can Muse read my WhatsApp chats?
Yes, through ConnectChats. Link WhatsApp in ConnectChats, share the chats you want, and Muse can read, search and summarize them and draft replies you approve.
