SMS and WhatsApp from your dedicated assistant numbers — separate from your personal ones. Confirmations, follow-ups, group threads, and the back-and-forth that fills your day.
In this guide: how Atona sends and receives texts, how group threads work, and how recipients can opt out.
Atona has its own dedicated phone number for SMS and its own dedicated WhatsApp number — both separate from your personal ones. Texts come and go from those numbers, identified clearly as your assistant.
Anything inbound to either number is read and routed by Atona. Anything you ask Atona to send goes out from the right number, in your voice, with a copy forwarded back to you.
From any channel — chat, voice, email — Atona sends.
Text Sarah I'll be 10 minutes late.
WhatsApp the group about dinner Friday.
Reply to anyone who texts me about the launch.
Tell my dad I'll be home for the weekend.
"Text Sarah", "WhatsApp the group", "let Mom know" — Atona figures out the right number and the right tone.
Never your personal one. The first message to anyone new identifies itself as your assistant.
Inbound texts to your assistant number are read by Atona and woven into your one cross-channel memory.
Every message Atona sends and receives is forwarded to you in real time, so you have a parallel record on your own phone.
"Always reply to Sarah." "Always draft for Mom." "Never reply to this number."
How sure Atona has to be before sending vs. drafting for your review.
Choose whether Atona can post in group chats or only DM.
Hold all outbound texts overnight. Atona sends them in the morning.
No. They see your dedicated assistant SMS number or WhatsApp number — separate from your personal ones.
Atona can participate in group threads when you ask it to. It identifies itself in its first post so the group knows who they're hearing from.
SMS works wherever your assistant number does. WhatsApp works globally.
Yes — replying "stop", asking to talk to you directly, or telling Atona to leave them alone all pause it for that contact, permanently. Opt-outs are honored across both SMS and WhatsApp.
iMessage isn't supported. Texts to and from your assistant flow through SMS or WhatsApp.
