Use tool ↗About Eugene
Eugene is a personal assistant you use by text message, over SMS in the US and Canada or through Telegram elsewhere, with no app to install. You text it reminders, routines and details about your life; it saves them as memories you can browse, correct or delete in a web dashboard, and it messages you first when a reminder or recurring routine is due. It also compares options from links, summarises web pages, drafts short replies, watches prices and runs group plans where other people answer by text without signing up. Once connected it works with Google Calendar and Notion; it does not read Gmail, operate a browser or make purchases.

Pros & cons of Eugene
Eugene's bet is that a text thread beats another app icon, and that memory you can open and edit beats memory hidden inside a model. It now publishes a price: a free plan of about 8 messages a day after a 3-day unlimited start, and Pro at $14.99 a month. What is still missing is a named company behind it, and heavy daily users should expect to pay.
Pros
- Runs over SMS or Telegram with no app to install
- Every stored memory is browsable and editable in a dashboard
- Reads, creates, edits and deletes Google Calendar events
- Group plans let other people answer by text without signing up
Cons
- Free plan drops to about 8 messages a day after the first 3 days
- No company name, address or jurisdiction disclosed
- SMS reaches only the US and Canada; elsewhere it runs through Telegram
- No Gmail access, browsing or purchases
Best for
- people who want reminders without installing another app
- anyone who wants to see and correct what an assistant remembers
- shared reminders and group plans across a family or a small team
Not for
- heavy daily users who will outgrow the free plan's roughly 8 messages a day
- anyone who needs an assistant that reads their inbox, fills in forms or buys things
Watch out: After the first 3 unlimited days the free plan caps at about 8 messages a day and 3 active routines; unlimited use is Pro at $14.99 a month. The old trytether.ai domain still redirects here.
