Weekly Love Notes

Every Sunday morning, your iPhone sends a fresh, personal text to each of your family members — written by AI in your voice, signed by you. Different vibe every week. Never repeats. Never sounds like a greeting card.

What it actually sends

Not generic. Not "Hi sweetie, hope you have a great week." These are real messages, varied by tone every week:

Sample — "proud" tone

Watching you handle everything you've got on your plate lately—you make it look easy but I know it's not. You've grown into someone I admire more than you know.

Love, Dad

Sample — "nostalgic" tone

Was thinking about those summers when you'd help me in the garden and somehow end up muddier than the plants. You always made everything more fun.

Love, Dad

Sample — "playful" tone

Just saw someone at the store buying one of everything you said you'd never eat as a kid. Should I assume your taste buds finally grew up, or are you still living on chicken nuggets? 😏

Love, Dad

The system rotates through seven tones weekly: proud, nostalgic, encouraging, playful, grateful, present, protective. You won't repeat tone for nearly two months, and the AI generates fresh text within each tone every time, so messages never feel canned.

How it works under the hood

This is a real iOS automation, not magic:

Your iPhone has an iOS Shortcut that's set to run every Sunday at 9:00 AM
The Shortcut hits a MyPromptPro endpoint at mypromptpro.ai/api/love-note with the recipient's name and your relationship to them
Our server prompts Claude (an AI model) to write a fresh, varied 1-3 sentence loving message in your voice
The Shortcut takes the response and sends it as an iMessage to that person
Repeat for each family member you set up

Privacy note: The only thing our server ever sees is the recipient's first name and the relationship word ("daughter", "wife", "son"). No phone numbers, no message history, no contact info. Each request is independent.

Setup — 10 minutes total

Open Shortcuts on iPhone

It's a built-in Apple app — pre-installed on every iPhone. Black icon with a pink/blue gradient. Search for "Shortcuts" in your home screen if you don't see it.

Tap the “Automation” tab at the bottom

Three tabs: Shortcuts, Automation, Gallery. Pick Automation. Then tap the + in the top right.

Choose “Time of Day”

Set: Time of Day · 9:00 AM · Weekly · Sunday only. Then tap Next.

Add the “Get Contents of URL” action

Search for "Get Contents of URL" and tap to add it. Configure it like this:

URL: https://mypromptpro.ai/api/love-note
Tap the small expand arrow on the action, then:
Method: POST
Headers: Add one — Key: Content-Type, Value: application/json
Request Body: JSON
Add fields:
- Key: recipient — Value: Lyndsey (or whoever)
- Key: relation — Value: daughter
- Key: sender — Value: Dad

Add the “Get Dictionary Value” action

This pulls the message text out of the JSON response.

Search for "Get Dictionary Value"
Set Key to message
The Dictionary input should be the result of the previous "Get Contents of URL" step (it auto-connects)

Add the “Send Message” action

This is the part that actually texts your daughter.

Search for "Send Message"
Message body: tap the field, choose Dictionary Value from the previous step
Recipients: tap and choose Lyndsey from your contacts

Important: On iOS 17+, you may need to toggle off "Ask Before Running" in the automation settings, otherwise iOS prompts you each time. For weekly auto-send, turn that OFF. iOS will still notify you when it sent the message.

Save — tap Done

That's the automation for one person. Test it now: tap the run button (►) on your new automation in the Automation list. Within ~5 seconds, your daughter should receive a personalized text.

Repeat for each family member

Wife, daughter, son, grandkid — each gets their own automation. Same steps. Just change recipient, relation, and the recipient in Send Message.

Common relations: wife, husband, daughter, son, granddaughter, grandson, mother, father, sister, brother.

Test it right now from your phone

Don't have iOS Shortcuts set up yet? You can confirm the API works in 10 seconds. From any browser on your phone, tap this link:

Generate a sample love note

(Returns JSON. The message field is what would be texted.)

Tweak the tone or content

Optional fields you can add to the JSON body:

tone_seed: integer 0–6 to force a specific tone (0=proud, 1=nostalgic, 2=encouraging, 3=playful, 4=grateful, 5=present, 6=protective). Omit for auto-rotation.
extra_context: a short string the AI uses to personalize. Example: "It's her birthday week" or "She just got a new job". Stays under 280 chars.

Cost

Free during beta. After launch, Love Notes is included in the MyPromptPro plan ($9/mo for unlimited automations). For comparison: each generated note costs us ~$0.002 in API calls. We're not running at a loss; AI is just much cheaper than people think.

What if I don't like a message before it sends?

Two options:

Manual review mode — in step 6, leave "Ask Before Running" ON. iOS will pop up a preview, you tap "Send" or "Cancel."
Tweak and try again — if you cancel, run the Shortcut manually again from the Shortcuts app and you'll get a different message.

Coming soon

Memory — the API will remember what it's already sent so it doesn't repeat themes within 30 days
Birthday-week awareness — auto-detects when it's their birthday week and adapts tone
Photo attach — AI picks an old family photo from your library and attaches it occasionally
Two-way mode — if they reply, AI helps you draft a thoughtful response
