# Specify service

User: "Text mom that I'll be late"
# 1. Find mom's chat
imsg chats --limit 20 --json | jq '.[] | select(.displayName | contains("Mom"))'
# 2. Confirm with user
# "Found Mom at +1555123456. Send 'I'll be late' via iMessage?"
# 3. Send after confirmation
imsg send --to "+1555123456" --text "I'll be late"
