Tasks through familiar channels

Users connect email, calendars and messaging accounts, then give instructions by text or call. The assistant works across those services rather than requiring a separate task-management interface.

Early-access financing

The Series B was reported on August 26 and valued the company at $2.5 billion. Instinct remained in private beta at the time; its founder described early users delegating shopping, travel planning and subscription cancellations.
