I couldn't figure out where to go from the homepage. Eventually I spotted the grey-on-black GitHub link but that took me to an organization page, not a repository.
Here's the repo for anyone else who didn't find it: https://github.com/photon-hq/flux
Key detail from the README to help understand what's going on:
Now text +16286298650 from your phone to interact with your agent!
So photon are operating a currently free relay service at fluxy.photon.codes (that's the address that flux talks to). You register your own phone number, then any time you send a message from your number to their +16286298650 they pass it back to your agent.
... but that means your agent needs to stay connected and running on a server somewhere. That's what this command does:
flux run --prod
It stays running and maintains a connection to their relay and trigge
Read the rest
rs your agent code any time you send a message to their number.
Based on https://github.com/photon-hq/imessage-kit my best guess is that Photon achieved this by running a Mac server somewhere that scripts iMessage via AppleScript against their own Apple ID account that owns that +16286298650 number.
Question for danielsdk: does your paid enterprise plan involve you running a Mac that's signed into a separate iCloud account that's assigned the phone number that your paying customer wants to use?
