AI assistant startup Instinct has launched a feature that lets its AI agents work in group chats to coordinate plans, even when some participants do not have an Instinct account. With users’ permission, agents can communicate and share information to help plan trips, schedule events and organize carpools. [4, 7]
The launch follows rapid growth at Instinct. The company recently raised $1 billion in a Series C round, bringing its valuation to $10 billion. [2, 9]
The move into multi-user coordination puts Instinct in competition with established tech firms developing personal assistants, including Meta, whose Muse AI is also developing agent-like capabilities. [7]
