How bookkeepers text Brea
Brea acts. You stay in charge.
Brea does the work, but nothing important happens without you. Your agent runs in its own private, isolated workspace.
You approve what matters
Before Brea sends, deletes, shares, or changes a setting, it asks you in iMessage. Reply allow, always, or deny.
Every payment is yours to approve
Brea pays only after you approve the payment in Link by Stripe. Each purchase uses a new one-time card.
Passwords stay out of chat
You save site logins on a secure Brea page, not in a text. They are encrypted, and the AI never sees them.
You control what it remembers
See and delete what Brea remembers about you, or just ask it to forget.
By now your agent could already have started.
Your to-do list, handled. Send Brea a text in iMessage and let it take it from there. Free, with every feature included.
