Instinct adds its AI agent to group chats, works with non-users
Instinct is rolling out the ability to add its AI agent into group chats, and the group agent can interact even if some participants don’t have Instinct accounts; the feature is available to early access users and will expand soon. Instinct founder Noah Shinn says personal agents must consent before connecting and personal data is siloed; the launch positions Instinct against rivals like Meta’s Muse amid broader competition (e.g., OpenAI’s ChatGPT Dots).
