Rene Launches a Multiplayer iMessage Agent You Text Like a Friend
HeyNayeem · x · 2026-09-17
ReneHQ launched Rene, a "multiplayer-first" AI agent that lives inside iMessage as a contact — no app, no signup, just text.
It remembers you and adapts to your style, manages your inbox and calendar, shops online, creates and edits images, sends proactive reminders, and can join group chats to help plan. The founder has used it for four months: finding an office, prepping meetings, polling the team for dinner.
The standout twist: your Rene can talk directly to your friends' Renes and coordinate things between you.
