How to turn on Text Gus

Last updated: November 10, 2026  ·  Gus AI LLC  ·  Questions: support@gusranch.com

Text Gus lets you text Gus, the GusRanch ranch assistant, from your phone. It is available to GusRanch users whose ranch has the Text Gus plug-in. Texting is always opt-in and off until you turn it on yourself.

Sign-up steps

1. Sign in to your GusRanch dashboard and open Text Gus in the menu.
2. Enter your mobile number.
3. Tap Send code. We text you a one-time code, and you enter it to confirm the number is yours.
4. Read and check the consent box below. It is never pre-checked, and texting stays off if you leave it unchecked.
5. Tap Turn on texting. Gus texts you a welcome message with how to get help and how to stop.
