Need to book a flight? Hungry, but you want to cook or leave the house? Need to apologise to your significant other with some flowers and a handwritten note?
No problem! For the incredibly lazy, but not quite rich enough to have a personal assistant, nihao concierge promises to fulfil your needs (as long as they’re legal) if you shoot them a text message with your request.
The service, started by two Singaporeans earlier this month, is available to anyone in Southeast Asia. You can order food, get your homework checked, have your groceries bought, and even seek advice if you just need a third-party opinion.
All you have to do is text (+65) 9241-1341 using the Telegram app (available for iOS and Android), and you will be charged according to the cost of each task. (The company claims that the service is completely free.)
If you text them between 5am and 8pm, they’ll handle your request within an hour. After 8pm, it will take up to three hours.
So far, they’ve served between 50 and 100 clients. If you hurry, you might become the first person ever to order an elephant via text message!
