TechCrunch maps the AI agents you can simply text, from Instinct to Poke
TechCrunch lists agents in iMessage, SMS and WhatsApp that book, shop and email for you. Instinct raised $1 billion at a $10 billion valuation; Wajo's Fo has its own email, phone number and payment card.
Why it matters: Texting is becoming a front door for agents that act for you. TechCrunch notes such autonomy raises privacy and security concerns; Wajo says Fo can bring in a human when stuck.
