Instinct Adds AI Agent to Group Chats for $10 Billion Push Against Meta

Summary
Instinct said Monday its AI agent can now be added to group chats, including chats where other participants do not have Instinct accounts.
The feature targets shared planning tasks such as travel, tickets, fantasy leagues and carpools, letting groups coordinate and act inside one thread.
Noah Shinn said personal agents must ask permission before connecting to a group agent, sharing information or taking actions, while group agents are siloed from personal accounts.
The rollout starts with early-access users and is set to expand more broadly soon as Instinct races Meta’s Muse and other consumer AI agents adding collaborative features.
