Instinct is a personal assistant you text or call. That part is the same job.

The rest is not. They connect email, messaging, screen, audio, and location. They are on a waitlist while they scale compute. We are a public number in Messages.

This is not a ChatGPT comparison. That post is already written: Why Use AI Chat SMS When You Can Just Use ChatGPT?.

What Instinct says

From instinct.co: a personal assistant that connects to your applications and devices. Email, messaging, screen, audio, location, and more. You text or call it. It is trained to use a phone and a computer.

Examples they publish: follow up on threads you dropped, call or text you first, arrange a ride to the airport, book a handyman.

Access is a private group. Join a waitlist or get invited. They say they are scaling compute.

We are not going to draw their product UI. That page is the source.
