Instinct stores my passwords in a vault so it can log into my accounts for me. works great, but giving an ai standing access to your accounts is a real ask. what if vault entries had an expiry - "my amazon, today only" - and when it lapses, it signs itself out? @noahrshinn feature idea from a happy user

I’ve been stress-testing Instinct with real-life tasks — here’s what worked, what didn’t, and where I still don’t trust agents Hey everyone — first post here 👋 I’ve been experimenting with Instinct and decided to give it a few tasks that go beyond the usual “summarize this” or “write me an email” use cases. Here’s what I tried: 1. Asked it to order snacks for me across different apps. 2. Asked it to monitor flight prices within a date range, identify good deals, and remind me if prices looked like they were rising or dropped. It was checking roughly 3 times a day. 3. Asked it to check whether my parents had gone for their post-dinner walk. 4. Asked it to research a few tech startups and give me concise summary notes. Overall, I was actually pretty impressed with how well it handled these. In fact I asked it how it can ping my parents instead of just monitoring and it was able to help me with the steps as well. But I also ran into a few pain points: 1. Speed It’s still noticeably slow in some workflows. I’m sure this is something the team is working on but there is huge gap between steps of a task. 2. Browser/site access + human-in-the-loop It still couldn’t access every site/service I wanted it to or did exist. There were also several points where a human had to step in, particularly when it needed to otps or interact with things that weren’t accessible to the agent. 3. Payments are still a big trust issue for me This is probably my biggest concern. I’m comfortable letting an agent find something, compare prices, or even prepare an order. But I’m still not comfortable giving it my card details and letting it freely make payments. Curious how others are using Instinct (or similar agents I can try next). \* What real-world tasks have you trusted an agent with? \* How are you using it currently or want to use it where it is lacking? \* Have you found any good workarounds for payments? \* And most importantly — what tasks would you trust an agent t

@AsideAI is basically the perfect agent harness. If they brought channels to imessages as well then it would be game over for everybody else. It is a one click openclaw and instinct killer if you have your own computer u can leave running at home, and once they set up cloud

No shade on Instinct but do I seriously need to turn my brain off to this degree that I don’t want to think about anything ever and have all the info the AI THINKS I want or need served to me constantly? Much less paying for it on its own through my passwords and accounts?

Have you been using Instinct? Has almost completely replaced Claude for me for my day-to-day personal AI use.

Meta has 3B users and a closed garden. Instinct built in the open wild where everyone is actually talking to each other. Legacy isn't dead; it's just finally useful.

my share shift of AI agent usage from Claude to Instinct has been wild because Instinct is free. SUCH A GREAT BUSINESS WHERE DO I INVEST?

Will do! (Re: agents, I use pretty much all of them -- except haven't tried Instinct yet -- plus some custom harnesses and rotating models, experimenting with a variety of things.) Another nit: I haven't fully triangulated, but it seems like ~12-24 hours after the transaction

I've been loving Instinct. There's something so simple and delightful about texting your AI on iMessage.

@JerryCapSep 6, 2026

How is it possible that Instinct and @noahrshinn created the best AI agent on/in WhatsApp and not something internally. Where is Hatch? I cannot believe I'm talking to Instinct and not Meta AI. Legacy security and privacy issues holding back $META again?

I am trying order from zepto from both WhatsApp and IMessage but instinct says it can’t access so that’s why it could not placed order or can’t add to cart the food items does it same for you ?

@FeatherMattzaSep 6, 2026

My wife hates using ChatGPT and others. Would love her to see the power of ai with instinct

@DealBeeOfficialSep 6, 2026

Just got access to Instinct AI. Still figuring out what all it can do. If you're already using it, what are you using it for?
