Former Apple Engineer Launches szn, an iMessage AI Agent

An engineer who worked on Siri and Apple Intelligence is building szn, an AI agent that lives inside iMessage and has its own name, phone number and email address. You text it like a contact and it can browse sites, buy things, coordinate with vendors and read data from Notes, Find My and iCloud. He says it runs its own model and will not train on user data; it is due in October.
