Key points
- Developer @tlxue launched Rene, a multiplayer-first iMessage agent you text like a friend — no app or signup required.
- It has a browser, writes code, goes shopping, ships sites, and makes slides and images.
- The author has used it for four months: it found him an office, preps him for meetings, and polls the team for dinner options.
- Quoting user @HeyAmit notes he used to screenshot ChatGPT answers into group chats; now the AI answers directly in the thread where everyone can see and continue the conversation.
