tlxue launched Rene, a multiplayer-first iMessage agent you text like a friend. It has a browser, writes code, goes shopping, ships sites, makes slides and images.
The author says it has lived in his texts for four months—finding him a new office, prepping meetings, and polling the team on dinner options. No app or signup required. A sharer demonstrated using it for AI news briefs, with Rene reading newsletters and tracking how many weeks in a row a lab has said "slow down."
