SMS Should Be More Like a Protocol
SMS is still one of the most universal communication channels, but the developer experience often feels like a pile of disconnected vendor screens, callbacks, numbers, billing records, and delivery states.
Textree’s launch direction is simpler: communication should be programmable. Get a number, send a message, receive replies, and inspect delivery without losing operator control.
For teams starting out, Fast Send is the shortest path. Create a scoped token, set a spend limit, send a test message, and watch the message log.
For teams that need sender identity, Branded Number adds a sender number, inbound routing, compliance status, and clearer ownership of the customer conversation.
The same product shape matters for AI agents. Agents can send through API or MCP, but people still need logs, suppressions, spend limits, webhook replay, and handoff when the conversation needs an operator.
That is the launch promise: SMS should behave more like a protocol surface for apps, agents, and operators, not a black box.
