I asked Instinct “who should buy Instinct?”
Here’s what my Instinct said:
Google has the stack. Apple has the pocket. Amazon has the checkout. Whoever can distribute Instinct daily should buy it. I'd bet on Apple, it already lives in iMessage.

My conversation with Noah Shinn (@noahrshinn), founder of Instinct.
Noah is building a personal AI assistant. It's still invite only, has spent nothing on marketing, and is growing roughly 10% A DAY.
This is his first long conversation about the company.
We discuss:
- Why Instinct doesn't have an app
- Buying compute months ahead of exponential demand
- How users learn to trust it with a credit card
- Safety and security
- Agents coordinating with other people's agents
- Instinct's business model
- Apps built on consumer inertia
- and more
Enjoy!
