The Apple Messaging Layer for AI Agents
Bring OpenClaw to Apple Messages for Business.
Connect OpenClaw to Apple Messages for Business and unlock trusted business messaging, Apple Pay, Wallet, App Clips, Authentication Messages, and Business Updates.
Beyond imsg
OpenClaw users have pushed the boundaries of what's possible with personal AI agents.
But imsg was never designed to be a business messaging platform.
Today many OpenClaw deployments rely on imsg to interact through Apple Messages. It's an impressive achievement, but it comes with tradeoffs.
Apple Messages for Business was purpose-built to enable trusted conversations between businesses and customers. By connecting OpenClaw to Apple Messages for Business through 1440, AI agents gain access to the full Apple business messaging ecosystem.

Blue bubbles vs gray bubbles
Blue bubbles are personal iMessages between people. That's what imsg-based agents send — they look personal, not official.
Gray bubbles are Apple Messages for Business — verified, branded conversations with a real company, complete with logo, name, and trust signals.
You may also hear Apple Messages for Business called Apple Business Chat — same product, earlier name.
OpenClaw provides the intelligence. Apple Messages for Business provides the customer experience. Together they create a powerful AI-native engagement platform.
