Instinct, a rapidly growing AI assistant startup, has launched a new feature that provides users with dedicated Instinct email addresses. This addition allows the AI to independently create and manage accounts, communicate with businesses, and follow up on tasks requiring email interaction, all without filling users’ personal inboxes. Noah Shinn, Instinct’s founder, explained that the feature is designed to streamline user experience by letting the AI handle email-based tasks such as signing up for services or contacting restaurants for special requests. Users can also forward relevant emails, like order confirmations, to Instinct’s address to facilitate actions such as product returns. The AI can be included in group email threads to monitor ongoing conversations and assist with decision-making or task management. Instinct will prompt users only when their input is necessary, otherwise operating autonomously. This update complements recent enhancements, including a partnership with 1Password for secure login management, a location-sharing feature for context-aware assistance, and integration with Stripe to enable seamless payments and bookings. By enabling the AI to manage email communications directly, Instinct aims to reduce friction in completing everyday tasks while addressing privacy concerns by limiting the need for users to share their personal contact information.
