Instinct brings its AI agent to group chats, even for friends without an account

Instinct, now valued at $10 billion, is expanding its AI agent into group chats, letting users add it to conversations with friends who don't have an Instinct account. A user's personal agent asks permission before connecting to the group and cannot access the personal account.
