Ability to send messages via connected phone

Feature Description:

By integrating messaging support with the connected application, Omi will enable users to send messages via voice commands. For example:

  • "Hey Omi, send a message to my mom: I’ll be home late tonight."

  • "Hey Omi, send a WhatsApp message to Jane: Are we meeting tomorrow?"

When these commands are given, Omi will navigate to the selected messaging app, automatically compose and send the message, or request confirmation before sending.

Use Cases:

  1. Hands-Free Messaging:

    • Allows users to send messages while driving, cooking, or doing other tasks without needing to type.

  2. Emergency Quick Messaging:

    • Users can send urgent messages instantly without having to open their phone.

  3. Accessibility Support:

    • Great for visually impaired users or those who have difficulty typing.

  4. Professional Use:

    • Enables professionals to send quick messages during meetings or while taking notes.

Benefits:

Speed and Convenience:

  • Sending messages via voice commands enhances the overall user experience.

Safety:

  • Reduces distractions while driving or multitasking.

Customization:

  • Users can choose their preferred messaging platform (WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, SMS, etc.).

AI-Powered Message Optimization:

  • If a user says "Hey Omi, send a message to Jane: Let's meet tonight.", Omi can rephrase it naturally as "Hey Jane, would you like to meet up tonight?"

Advanced Integration:

  • Can be linked with Google Calendar or Notion, enabling smart contextual messages like "Hey Omi, send Jane our meeting time."

Potential Challenges and Risks:

⚠️ Privacy & Security:

  • Always-on microphone could lead to accidental message sending.

  • A confirmation step should be included:

    • "Sending this message to Ahmet: ‘Are we meeting tomorrow?’ Do you confirm?"

Proposed Workflow:

1️⃣ User selects a default messaging app. (WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram, etc.)
2️⃣ User gives a voice command to send a message.
3️⃣ Omi composes and reads out the message.
4️⃣ User confirms before the message is sent. (Optional)
