Problem with this: SMS has a price, and would people be willing to pay for this?

Could be a paid feature, I wouldn't mind paying for advanced features like that. I've been searching for a personal, non-sales oriented "CRM" platform for months now and am currently using Accompany but this feels far more personal.

I don't know Accompany, but no matter what, even if you use Monica for business, my personal view of business relationships evolves around knowing the intimate details of the person and remember the kids name, for instance. Things you won't find in Salesforce :-D

Yes, and also staying in touch meaningfully enough that it doesn't seem tacky and manipulative when asking about the kids :)

Maybe support putting a user's own Twilio creds in?

Also, love your project! How do I give you money?

Edit: I'll keep an eye out for the link!

For now, you can't give me money. I'll put a link in the coming days, but you'll probably be gone :-D Thanks anyway, appreciate it.

Messenger Bots could solve this problem, as well as a Mobile App.
