Instinct AI is For Real. What You Need to Know.

Synopsis

Walk-through of Instinct, an invite-only personal agent that lives inside iMessage and runs real-world tasks: booking a haircut in Copenhagen, holding a restaurant table, filing a Bali visa-on-arrival, and opening an Emirates Skywards account. Covers onboarding via phone number, the web workspace with email/Slack/Granola connectors and a credential vault, spend-limited virtual cards to cap blast radius, the privacy issue that Instinct keeps copies of email after Google disconnect, and a trusted-person network so one Instinct can talk to another.
