# What is mssgs?

mssgs is a messaging app with built-in mini-games, handy tools and AI bot support - for iOS, Android and desktop.

**mssgs is a messaging app with built-in mini-games, handy tools and full AI bot support.** You chat one-on-one or in communities - and without ever leaving the conversation you can start a game, set a reminder, or let a bot do the boring work.

### Messaging

Direct messages, group chats and full communities with channels. Voice memos, GIFs, replies, reactions, markdown - everything you expect, plus voice & video calls.

### Mini-games

Eight games built right into chat: Battleship, Four in a Row, Checkers, Snake, Snake Capture, Monopoly, Word Guesser and Stratego. Challenge a friend and play between messages.

### Tools

Message reminders, ghost mode, one-time-view photos, voice memos, a whiteboard, streaks and more - small utilities that make chatting smoother.

### Bots & MCP

Bots are first-class citizens on mssgs. The desktop app has a built-in MCP server, so AI assistants like Claude can read, reply and even play games with you.
