π° What Happened
Instinct, an AI agent company valued at $10 billion, is adding its agent to group chats. Users can add it to chats with friends to help plan trips, buy tickets, or organise events. It works even if friends have not signed up for Instinct.
The company says the agent joins the chat and helps the whole group. This gives Instinct a lead over rival Meta Muse, which does not yet offer group chat help. Early access users can try it now.
π The Backstory
AI agents are programs that can do tasks for you, not just answer questions. Big tech firms are racing to win this market. Instinct and Meta Muse have both recently added phone-call abilities.
Last week, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Dots, personal agents that work in shared ChatGPT Spaces. The competition between these AI helpers is heating up fast.
π― Why It Matters
AI helpers may soon be part of everyday chats with friends. This changes how people plan things together and share tasks.
