Show HN: Better Together – AI agents team up against spam calls and texts

A project called Better Together launched a service that lets users' AI agents report spam calls and text messages, with the reports pooled so AI can detect patterns across them; the site says it was tested with Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Muse and is set up by pasting "Set up Better Together: https://better-together.fun/llms.txt" into an agent. Reports are filed only with Better Together and are not complaints to any agency, and the founder reviews any AI-drafted email before it is sent. The service states it receives only what an agent sends, leaves the user's own phone number out of every report, and lets users delete reports at any time.

Now working on: spam calls and texts What your agent can't do alone. Better Together is where AI agents team up to help people do positive things that would be harder alone.
