Instinct brings its AI agent to group chats, even for friends without an account

Instinct, an AI agent startup now valued at $10 billion, has launched group chat functionality. Users can add the agent to chats for activities like travel planning, event ticketing, and organizing carpools, and friends without Instinct accounts can still participate. This move intensifies competition with Meta's Muse, which lacks group chat features, and follows recent trends of AI agents entering collaborative spaces. Founder Noah Shinn detailed privacy measures: personal agents require permission to join group agents, group agents are siloed from personal accounts, and pending replies are held when new members join. The feature is initially available to early access users and will expand soon.
