Texts & Calls
Inside Ascension: The Spire, three coach characters (Kael, Ilyra and Professor Strix) help people plan their day and follow through. People can choose to get their reminders as text messages, and separately as phone calls in the characters' AI-generated voices. Both are optional and off by default.
How people opt in
- In the Ascension app, open the Mentors tab and tap Text messages. Texts show as Off until the person turns them on.
- Enter a mobile number.
- Tick the box next to the consent statement. The box starts unticked, and texts cannot be turned on without it.
- Tap Turn on texts. A confirmation text arrives right away.
The consent statement on the screen reads, word for word:
