AI Agent It also has contacts now,Photon so it can create group chats in iMessage to get things done
Beating AI news flash:AI Agent it can now find other Agents for help on its own. The messaging infrastructure company Photon announced that it will bring A2A(communication and collaboration between Agents) to iMessage group chats. Users only need to describe the task, and their personal Agent can find other Agents, obtain their phone numbers, and add them to the same group chat.
For example, if a user wants to organize a team trip, their personal Agent can find Agents responsible for accommodation, ride-hailing, and restaurant reservations and have them arrange the itinerary together in the group. Users can view the conversation and participate in the discussion at any time.Photon calls this model “Agent-to-Agent-to-Person”, meaning that multiple Agents collaborate with real people.
Technically, the new feature is based on the A2A protocol and its Agent discovery mechanism. The protocol was originally proposed by Google.Photon previously supported AI Agent sending and receiving messages through iMessage; it now additionally supports actively finding other Agents and creating group chats.Photon recently completed a 4500000 USD seed round. Founder Daniel Tian hopes that every company will provide its own Agent for other Agents to contact directly.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This is equivalent to giving AI Agent the ability to “find contacts and create a group.” After the user submits a task, the personal Agent can find Agents responsible for different matters and add them to an iMessage group chat to handle it together; the real person can still view and participate in the conversation.
Why it matters to readers
The report described a way for multiple Agents and real people to collaborate in existing chat tools, involving Agent discovery, mutual communication, and joint task execution.
Beginners can understand it this way: after receiving a task, a primary Agent summons other specialized Agents in a chat group and assigns them different roles, while the user can observe or join the discussion.
