Instinct AI Assistant Launches Email Feature to Enhance Automation Capabilities
Instinct, the AI assistant valued at $2.5 billion, has introduced a new feature allowing it to have its own email addresses for users. This enables Instinct to handle account sign-ups and communications on behalf of users without cluttering their personal inboxes. Founder Noah Shinn explained that this development is part of efforts to make everyday tasks more seamless by letting the AI manage interactions with businesses, such as contacting restaurants or signing up for services. The feature also allows customers to forward emails directly to Instinct’s address when it needs information to complete a task—like handling product returns. The email can be added to group threads so that Instinct stays updated on ongoing conversations and acts autonomously unless user input is required. This update follows recent partnerships with 1Password for login assistance, Stripe for payments, and the addition of location-sharing capabilities.
