Product

Everything a ride needs.
Nothing an app demands.

WhatsApp is the interface. Our AI does the heavy lifting behind it.

/ 01

Chat to book

“Take me to the airport” is a complete booking. Texti's AI reads natural language — no menus, no forms, no learning curve.

/ 02

Speak it or snap it

Send a voice note in the language you think in, or a photo of an address — the assistant transcribes, reads, and books.

/ 03

Watch your driver arrive

Live status from “driver assigned” to “at your door” — with the car, plate, and rating up front so you board with confidence.

/ 04

The fare is the fare

You see the exact price before you confirm. When demand pricing applies, we say so — before you book, never after.

/ 05

Cashless by design

Link a card securely through Stripe or connect PayPal. We authorize the locked fare before dispatch, capture only after the trip, and send the receipt in WhatsApp.

/ 06

Drivers you can trust

Every driver is licence-verified (Class 4), insured, vehicle-inspected, and background-screened before their first trip.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Everything riders and drivers ask us most. Something else? Message "help" on WhatsApp.

Do I need to download an app?

No — that's the whole point. Texti runs entirely inside WhatsApp, which you already have. Message our number, and you're booking within a minute. There's nothing to install, update, or create a password for.

How do I book a ride?

Message the Texti number the way you'd text a friend — "take me to the airport" works. You can also send a voice note or drop a location pin. The assistant confirms your pickup, shows upfront fares for each ride class, and matches you with the nearest vetted driver.

How do fares work? Are there hidden fees?

Fares are a base rate plus distance and time — from $3.50 base + $1.20/km on Economy, with a $7.00 minimum. You see the exact price before you confirm, and that's what you pay. When demand pricing applies, the multiplier is disclosed in your estimate — before you book, never after.

How can I pay?

Texti is fully cashless, as Newfoundland and Labrador's ride-share rules require. Link a supported card securely through Stripe or connect PayPal; Texti never receives or stores your card number. The locked fare is authorized before a driver is contacted, captured after the trip, and receipted in WhatsApp.

Is Texti safe? Who are the drivers?

Every driver is verified before their first trip: a Class 4 (or higher) NL licence, proof of insurance for paid passenger transport, an annual vehicle inspection certificate, and a background screening. You see your driver's name, photo, vehicle, plate, and rating before they arrive — and every trip is logged.

What do I need to drive with Texti?

Be 21 or older, hold a Newfoundland and Labrador Class 4 (or higher) licence, and drive a 4-door vehicle no more than 10 model years old with valid registration, ride-hail insurance, and an inspection certificate. The whole application happens in WhatsApp and takes about ten minutes.

How much do drivers earn, and when are they paid?

Drivers keep 85% of every fare — Texti's service fee is 15%. Earnings clear after 24 hours and move automatically to each driver's Stripe payout account every week. Where Canadian on-demand payouts are active, the private driver dashboard shows the exact Interac e-Transfer or bank-transfer fee and net amount before PIN confirmation.

Can I cancel a ride? What if something goes wrong?

Say "cancel" before pickup and the ride is cancelled — repeated last-second cancellations may be reviewed. If anything goes wrong, say "contact support" in the chat: describe the issue, attach a screenshot if you have one, and our team replies right there in WhatsApp.

Where does Texti operate?

We're live in St. John's, Mount Pearl, and Paradise, Newfoundland and Labrador — and expanding to more Canadian communities from there. Follow along or ask the assistant "help" to see what's available in your area.
