- Developer tlxue launched Rene, a "multiplayer-first" iMessage AI agent you interact with by texting a friend.
- Capabilities: browsing, coding, shopping, shipping websites, slides, images, meeting prep, and research.
- No app or signup required; the author has used it for four months to find an office, prep meetings, and poll the team on dinner.
- The pitch: embed the agent into how people already communicate, as a group-chat member rather than a standalone app.
