The mydawAI team · · 2 min read
The short answer
TextMyPill and mydawAI both send medicine reminders on WhatsApp with no app to install and both read prescription photos. mydawAI is built for Indian families: free during beta with unlimited family members, caretaker alerts on a missed dose, and refills sent to your own local chemist after you say yes.
What is TextMyPill?
TextMyPill is a WhatsApp medicine reminder service. According to its own website (as of October 2026), it sends reminders on WhatsApp with no new app, reads prescriptions from a photo, lets one account manage several people, and lists reminders in English, Spanish, Hindi and Marathi. Its site lists a free trial and paid monthly plans.
Both services share the same core idea: reminders belong in WhatsApp. This page shows where mydawAI differs, so you can pick what suits your family.
How is mydawAI different?
mydawAI focuses on the whole family's care and your local chemist.
- Free during beta, with no card. There is no trial that turns into a bill.
- Unlimited family members in your Care Circle. Each person gets reminders on their own WhatsApp after they agree with a tap.
- Missed-dose alerts. If a dose stays untaken, mydawAI can remind again and then tell the caretaker on WhatsApp.
- Stock count and refills. Every Taken tap lowers the count. Auto-refill asks you first, then sends the order to the chemist you already use, on their WhatsApp.
- Chintu, the mydawAI koala, answers questions about your medicines on WhatsApp and by voice in the web app, and can make changes after you confirm.
