Talk to the Sky, an AI text line for the backcountry

Why it surfaced

Talk to the Sky reduces the chatbot to a plain text exchange: save a number, ask about weather, water, first aid, gear fixes, or translations, and receive a brief reply designed for a thin connection. It is unusually specific, clearly explained, and honest that it is not an SOS device—though sign-ups are not open yet.

A proposed text-message service that sends short AI answers to phones, including through satellite messaging when users are off the grid.
