Photon raises $4.5M as messaging layer for personal assistants
The author argues that viral personal assistants like Muse, Grok bot and Dots all run on text messages, and that Photon is the messaging infrastructure behind much of that wave.
photon just raised $4.5m and here's why it makes sense to me: - every viral personal agent right now (muse, grokbot, dots etc) lives in your texts, and photon is the rails behind a lot of that wave - 50,000 devs already building on it, the biggest dev community in personal agent infra - plugs into vercel eve, hermes and mastra - your agent works on imessage, whatsapp, telegram, rcs and sms, no new app needed this is where i'd start definitely start if i was building an agent.
