Instinct Opens AI Agent to Group Chats With Non-Users After Hitting $10B Series C Mark

Agents AI Assistants ai-business

Summary

Instinct, which hit a $10B Series C valuation, launched October 5 a group-chat feature that drops its AI agent into messages with friends who do not have an account, pitched for trip planning, event tickets, carpools and holiday coordination. Founder Noah Shinn says each user's personal agent asks before linking to a group agent, which is siloed from personal account data.
