Textsidekick

Textsidekick (Sidekick) is a Y Combinator-backed (S26) workforce communication and knowledge-management platform built for frontline workers who do not have a desk. Workers text a question or report an issue over plain SMS with no app to install and no login; Sidekick triages the message, answers from company knowledge, converts issues into work orders, routes them to the right person, and captures every fix as searchable organizational knowledge. It also AI-generates safety procedures, handbooks, and FAQs, schedules preventive maintenance, and delivers text-based onboarding and training. Founded to serve the roughly 80% of American workers without a desk, it is live across 20+ plants serving 600+ frontline workers. No public developer API, SDK, or API reference is published at this time.

Textsidekick is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, SMS, Frontline Workers, Workforce Communication, and Knowledge Management.

Textsidekick’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 5 more developer resources.
