Peppi is a consumer AI companion with a twist: instead of opening a chatbot, you text it like a friend. You start by designing your buddy — a name, a personality, a background story, and the way they relate to you — and Peppi keeps that identity and a shared memory across every conversation. One phone number, one identity, no second account to juggle.
Peppi is more than companionship, though. When you connect Google, it can manage your calendar, find and summarize emails in your Gmail, and set one-off or recurring reminders. It also searches the web for places, prices, weather, and news, and can look at photos you send. All of this works the same way whether you text from any phone or use the iOS and Android app.
Peppi was previously known as TXTGPT, and the product has since been rebranded and expanded. It emphasizes privacy — it is CASA security certified for its Google connections — and you can delete your account at any time. It is a third-party product and is not affiliated with OpenAI, though it draws on generative AI to power its conversations.
