This is one of my favorite features of Instinct. You can add friends to Trusted People. Then, your Instinct talks to theirs. I used it to plan a picnic, including rides:

Y'all, the PDF it generated was beautiful. It was the first time an agent has produced a design I actually like in a single shot. … The newsletter was perfectly laid out and easy to read. It included: a weekly agenda … call-outs for parents … News to Know … Local Events.

The agent's response was incredibly well-toned. It wasn't sycophantic like some models can be. It felt kind and human. "Sleep deprivation with a baby is its own special kind of hard. We'll get you some rest." … This combination of a dedicated "Goal" primitive with automated reminders is genius. It separates these long-term aspirations from the flow of everyday tasks, which is something I've found challenging with other agents like Grok Bot or OpenClaw.

TechCrunch, describing the competitive landscape between Muse and Instinct, noted that Instinct has attracted enthusiasm from Silicon Valley insiders despite, in the outlet’s words, “security concerns and an overly broad and permissive privacy policy.” Instinct has continued shipping new, more expansive features at a rapid pace even amid that criticism, including giving every user their own dedicated email address and building what the company describes as a kind of internal social layer, letting one person’s Instinct agent communicate directly with another person’s agent on their behalf.

Despite security concerns and an overly broad and permissive privacy policy, Silicon Valley insiders have been raving about Instinct’s capabilities. … While there are plenty of other agents that focus more narrowly on things like managing work or family life, Instinct seems to be the one to beat… This week, for example, Instinct has rolled out email addresses for all its users, and just announced it’s building its own social network of sorts — that is, one person’s Instinct agent can now talk to those belonging to their friends to coordinate plans.

Wajo / Fo@samwarrenSep 9, 2026

I’m so AI personal assistant pilled now I’ve tried countless different agents All are super cool and useful but wtf did @wajo_ai feed Fo? I’ve paired Fo with my creative director agent and they workshop X posts in my text group chat every morning lmao Fo even took care of getting my phone number removed of a telemarketing call list Bro is OP and I’m okay with it Instinct can’t do this btw

Town@chowtatoSep 7, 2026

Having a lot of fun adding @TownAI to group chats. It responds pretty quickly and is holding its own with my friends trying to turn it against me. Next steps is have each friend add their own townie into group chats and make them coordinate our schedules together. Does anyone know why it defaulted to Chinese? Feeling like Kimi might also be the underlying model here. I also added town to the assistant email Instinct uses and now they have shared access. Will be interesting to see how the agents interact with each other.
