iMessage is the default messaging app for 1.8B+ Apple device users. There's no official bot API, but BlueBubbles makes it possible — and Clawship handles the AI layer.

How it will work

1

Set up BlueBubbles

Install BlueBubbles on a Mac that stays online. This bridges iMessage to Clawship via a local API.

2

Connect to Clawship

Enter your BlueBubbles server URL and API password in the Clawship dashboard. Select your AI model.

3

Text your bot

Send a regular iMessage to the connected Apple ID. The AI responds through native Apple Messages — blue bubbles and all.

What you'll be able to build

Personal AI via text

Ask questions, brainstorm ideas, or get writing help — all from your iMessage app, no extra apps needed.

Family assistant

Set up a shared AI assistant that family members can text for recipes, homework help, or general questions.

VIP customer line

Give high-value clients an iMessage number they can text for instant, AI-powered support.

Works with any model

Switch models anytime — no redeployment, no downtime.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Mac?
Yes. BlueBubbles requires a Mac (or Mac mini) running macOS that stays powered on. It acts as the bridge between iMessage and Clawship.
Does it work with SMS too?
BlueBubbles supports both iMessage and SMS fallback, so non-Apple users can text the number and still get AI responses.
Is this an official Apple integration?
No. This uses BlueBubbles, a third-party bridge. Apple doesn't offer an official iMessage API for bots.
