Chert Extended From iMessage Agents to 'Vapi for FaceTime' — AI Video Agents Behind a Few Lines of API
Product Hunt (single-source on the FaceTime launch; the iMessage product and CRM integrations verified on Chert's own listing)·low signal
Chert, previously a platform for building AI agents that text customers over iMessage, launched AI video agents for FaceTime on Product Hunt today (110 upvotes, #5), positioning itself as 'Vapi for FaceTime.' The existing product already integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Close on the CRM side and Vapi and Slack on the tooling side, so the video layer lands inside stacks that already route support and sales conversations through it. The interesting move is channel capture rather than model capability: Apple's native comms surfaces are becoming a distribution channel for support agents, which is a flank the Zendesk/Intercom widget was never built to defend.
