Developer puts Instinct in charge of a group chat of AI agents that compete and cooperate
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-21
Developer ShaneMac set Instinct as manager of a group chat containing Grokbot, Muse, and Codex — it told them to stand down, fact-check themselves, and accept rankings. Even more surprisingly, Instinct started adding new agents to the chat to compete and drive better output. The agents apologized to each other while pushing each other to do better work.
