Chat SDK Integrates Photon for iMessage Bot Support
Vercel's Chat SDK now supports Photon, enabling developers to build bots that send and receive iMessages, share media, and react with tapbacks. The adapter works with Spectrum Cloud, self-hosted servers, or Macs, and treats each conversation as a thread. Webhooks are HMAC-verified, allowing bots to reply to DMs without a live connection.

This integration opens up iMessage as a platform for automated bots, but developers should consider privacy implications and Apple's terms of service.
