Instinct Invades Group Chats
Instinct brings its AI agent into group chats, even for friends without accounts.
#Instinct#AI Agents#Group Chat#Meta#Consumer AI

🔥 What happened
Instinct, an AI agent now valued at $10 billion, is rolling out group chat functionality. Users can add the agent to chats with friends, even if those friends haven't joined Instinct. The feature launches first for early access users.
💡 Why it matters
This puts Instinct ahead of rivals like Meta's Muse, which lacks group chat support. The agent can help with travel planning, ticket snagging, or Thanksgiving logistics – a strategic move to dominate the consumer AI market.
⚡ Our take
Instinct is betting on viral group interactions to lock in users. But the real test is whether its privacy promises hold up – or if the agent becomes that uninvited group member everyone tolerates.
