Ivan Rushmer

Founder, TextBot and AgentDesk

Ivan Rushmer is the founder of TextBot, a WhatsApp API that lets a business send and receive messages on its own number, and of AgentDesk, the shared inbox, CRM and AI agent workspace built on top of it.

A full-stack software developer, Rushmer brings the same technical depth to both products, from the WhatsApp connection and the API through to the web portals, the WordPress plugin and the AI agents.

Rushmer is also the founder of Trackerserver, a white-label telematics platform, and has worked in the telematics industry since 2014, across GPS tracking, software engineering and the development of tracking hardware.

Under Rushmer’s leadership, TextBot connects a business’s own WhatsApp number to its systems with a simple HTTP API, with replies delivered as JSON and no per-message fees. AgentDesk adds a shared inbox for WhatsApp, website chat and email, a complete CRM and AI agents that answer from a company’s own documents — running on Ollama inside AgentDesk or on the AI service the business chooses.

Both products are built to give businesses of any size a direct line to their customers on WhatsApp, on their own number and under their own control.
