**In short.** Yes. Fig is a personal AI agent you can message on WhatsApp, as well as Telegram, Slack and its own apps. Send it a task in a message and it researches, writes, builds, books, follows up and runs errands until the work is done, on every frontier model, and it asks before anything important such as sending an email.

## What you can hand Fig in a chat

| Task | What Fig does |
|---|---|
| Research | Investigates with cited sources and sends back a summary. |
| Documents | Builds reports, spreadsheets and slide decks from a description. |
| Bookings and errands | Finds options, compares them and books with your approval. |
| Follow-ups | Drafts and sends follow-ups from your email and calendar, after you approve. |
| Reminders and routines | Runs scheduled tasks and reports back on its own. |
| Images and video | Creates them from a prompt. |

## Why messaging works for an agent

The fastest way to hand off a task is the app you already have open. A one-line message on the way to a meeting is enough for Fig to start, and the finished work comes back in the same thread.

## Every frontier model, and you stay in control

Fig routes each task across every frontier lab's models. It connects to your email, calendar and apps with permissions you grant, asks before important actions, and does not see what you type when you take over its browser.
