Sources and how they are classified
Every task in Instinct Tasks carries one of two classifications. Neither one means the outcome was reproduced here.

-
Arrange an airport ride
Instinct's homepage, as archived on 2026-09-15, listed "arranging a ride to the airport" among the things it handles; the current homepage no longer names it. Two further X posts report airport transfers: @Antony_l1 says Instinct handled a shuttle between airport transfers and booked a $90 CAD airport hotel for an overnight layover during a solo trip, and @evankrasnick says it booked two van transfers to and from an airport, which they describe as fine. Neither post names the shuttle or hotel provider or gives pickup times. Checked on 2026-10-09; both are individual reports.
-
Find a handyman
Instinct's homepage, as archived on 2026-09-15, listed "booking a handyman for your apartment"; the current homepage no longer names it. On X, @JorgeGalindo lists among their uses of Instinct gathering information from several sources to put together a series of email drafts asking similar providers for quotes on something that needed fixing at home. The post does not say what the repair was, whether the drafts were sent, or what quotes came back; it was checked on 2026-09-24 and is an individual report. @studio__ghost reports Instinct finding and booking a locksmith, prepaying for the visit and blocking the calendar for the service window, all within about five minutes; @larryvc reports, in a wider list of tasks, finding and booking an unnamed service provider last minute, with no detail on the trade or outcome.
-
Pick up a dropped thread
Instinct's homepage, as archived on 2026-09-15, listed "following up on threads you've dropped" as something it handles; the current homepage no longer names it. On X, @ItsAlexStarr reports that Instinct proactively found four people they had dropped the ball on and put recommended follow-up drafts in their email, and @aliceisplaying lists keeping tabs on replies, deadlines and reminders; in a later post @aliceisplaying adds that its memory is "pretty bad" and that it is "prone to mix things up sometimes". None of the posts names the threads or says whether the drafts were sent as written; they were checked on 2026-09-24 and are individual reports. A further X post from @snehabytes says Instinct has managed back-and-forth email threads with their immigration lawyer and healthcare insurer, the kind they usually lose track of between replies. The post does not say what was in those emails or whether any reply was sent without their review first.
-
Have it call a place that only books by phone
On X, Noah Shinn of Instinct announces Instinct Concierge, described as a white-glove service for high-touch cases such as making phone calls and high-end service booking, with booking a restaurant that does not take online reservations given as an example. This is the maker's own announcement of a capability, checked on 2026-09-18. It does not say who has access, what it costs, which regions or languages are covered, or how a call is disclosed to the business.

Find forgotten subscriptions
Assistant Benchmark republishes eleven Instinct prompts posted on X by @gabenavarro. Number four is a subscription cleanup: audit card statements for every recurring charge, check the last use date, and produce a cancel-or-downgrade list before anything is touched. The list is a set of suggested prompts, not a record of results. No statement, charge or cancellation is shown, and nothing here has been run by this directory. Results have since been reported on X: @thisiskp_ says the assistant audited their Gmail, mapped about $290 a month in recurring charges, flagged a AAA membership as duplicating roadside cover they already had through Geico, turned off a $76 domain renewal the night before it was due, and, in a later post, caught that one supposed subscription was a $29 lifetime deal; @aliceisplaying lists killing unwanted domain renewals, @manan_0308 says it saved them $144 on a subscription they would otherwise have paid, and @jbahrdestefano mentions in one line that it cancelled some subscriptions. The savings are the authors' own figures, none of these posts shows a statement or says whether each cancellation was approved in advance, and all were checked on 2026-09-24 as individual reports. @CalebJohn24 reports asking Instinct and Muse to cancel a subscription, then says “Advantage Muse”; Instinct’s exact result is not stated and this is not evidence of an Instinct cancellation. On X, @larryvc mentions, within a list of tasks done that week, that Instinct identified and cancelled a stack of unused subscriptions, with no count or names given. Checked on 2026-10-09. @JerimiahLee lists killing dead subscriptions worth about $1,178 a year among a week of Instinct results; this does not show which services, how they were found, or proof of the savings. @BrennanWoodruff says his Instinct agent saved him $1600 in recurring bills without him doing anything; this does not show which charges were found, how the savings were computed, or whether he approved any changes. @UrvikaSonar says that on day one Instinct found every subscription she pays for and helped her cancel a few; this does not show which subscriptions, how it found them, or which cancellations went through.
-
Watch for a dinner table
Assistant Benchmark republishes eleven Instinct prompts posted on X by @gabenavarro. Number seven is a restaurant watch: watch a named restaurant for a table on Friday or Saturday and book anything between 8 and 9pm. The same page reports what can go wrong with that instruction — a diner charged a $200 cancellation fee for a booking he had not authorized, and a Resy account suspended after repeated reservation attempts. This page keeps the watching and drops the automatic booking. Two later X posts mention reservations made through Instinct: @MichaelLevin lists "3 restaurant reservations" and @ItsAlexStarr says it made a dinner reservation. Neither names the restaurant, says whether a table had to be watched for, or says whether each booking was approved first; both were checked on 2026-09-24 and are one-line mentions, not evidence that a watched table will open. Four further X posts mention restaurant bookings: @avikrishna says Instinct got two reservations in one week to Carbone, a hard-to-book restaurant; @psantloki says it got a reservation at Bungalow; @sakibsahmed says it booked a restaurant reservation among other trip bookings; and @danielbakh says it booked a restaurant reservation, asking what other use cases exist besides reservations. None names a party size, time, or whether a table had to be watched for rather than booked outright. Checked on 2026-10-09; all are individual, mostly one-line mentions. @Emmie says Instinct watched a site until a Japanese breakfast set opened up, which she ordered two days ahead for $24; this does not show the restaurant name or how the watch was set up.
-
Find the delivered price
Assistant Benchmark republishes eleven Instinct prompts posted on X by @gabenavarro. Number eight is price hunting: find an exact product at the cheapest delivered price, take it to the checkout screen so the real total is visible, and text for confirmation. The list gives prompts, not results: no product, retailer or total is shown, and nothing here has been run by this directory. On X, @shivjhalani7 reports giving the same hair-product purchase to Instinct and to another assistant to see which got the better deal, and says Instinct won by $5 and they then checked out; @aliceisplaying mentions in one line that it researched and ordered a water bottle. Neither post names the retailer or the totals compared, or says whether delivery was included; both were checked on 2026-09-24 and are individual reports. On X, @theshre reports asking Instinct and GrokBot together whether a jacket could be found cheaper elsewhere, and saving about £90 (roughly $120) around 15 minutes later; the post credits both tools jointly and does not say which, if either, found the lower price. Checked on 2026-10-09.
-
Find missing airline miles
Assistant Benchmark republishes eleven Instinct prompts posted on X by @gabenavarro. Number five asks it to check an airline account for miles from past flights that never posted and to file the claims. The list gives prompts, not outcomes: no airline, flight, claim or credited balance is shown, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Make a morning brief
David Pawlan reports that Instinct delivered a weekday 7am briefing on two mornings, covering calendar items, conflicts, replies owed with their age, and weather. The linked report lists five messages and a completed result. We have not reproduced the test; it does not establish long-term reliability.
-
Remove contact info from websites
In a Reddit discussion about testing Instinct, u/Secret_Twist3908 reports asking it to scrub contact information from major online sites and says most spam calls stopped quickly. The comment does not name the sites, describe the removal process or provide receipts. We reviewed the comment text returned by SniffSub; direct Reddit access was unavailable during our check. This is an attributed user report, not a test by this directory or a verified measure of call reduction.
-
Lower your internet bill
On X, @rohinip reports that the first thing they asked Instinct to do after onboarding was negotiate the price of their internet plan, and that it saved them $50 a month without them ever talking to Comcast. The post gives no old or new price, no term and nothing about how the negotiation went. In a numbered list of tasks, @pitdesi describes the other way the same job can go: Instinct helped cut a Comcast bill from $100 to $60 a month, but hit a wall and handed back a number to call and an exact script; the call took three minutes. @hariamogh reports Instinct negotiating with AT&T through chat, reducing their WiFi bill by $10/month plus a $10 credit while they slept; @senyil reports a different scenario, negotiating two free months and a $100 Amazon gift card on a new fiber connection, rather than lowering an existing bill. The first two posts were checked on 2026-09-24. All four are individual reports, not evidence of what any provider will offer the reader. @DaveLeeATX says Instinct negotiated with an AT&T support agent over 26 minutes and got an $86 refund; this does not show a lowered monthly rate. @mattymoee.ai says on TikTok that Instinct lowered his AT&T internet bill by about $75 a month; this does not show the before and after bills.
-
Chase a refund that never arrived
On X, @kingofknowwhere reports that Instinct chased an Amazon refund that had not been credited: it got the RR number, sent it to Axis, followed up with the bank's customer support staff and reached a resolution on its own. The post does not give the amount, how long the money had been missing, or what the resolution was beyond the fact that there was one. Two other posts touch the same ground: @ShanuMathew93 says Instinct did a better job at auditing Amazon refunds than another agent they use, and @Lpevs says it got them a $100 refund, without saying from whom or how. All three were checked on 2026-09-24 and are individual reports, not evidence of what a merchant or bank will do for the reader. On X, @iamkylebalmer reports a $900 gas-bill refund after setting Instinct to use live chat each day; @julie_mo reports Instinct finding an email and a state law that led to a $1,000 refund check on a subscription the author could not otherwise cancel; @larryvc and @iamamitkhatri report airline refunds recovered via chat queues and forms, and a Blinkit refund handled end to end. A fifth report describing an in-progress account audit with no result was skipped. Checked on 2026-10-09. @ninadwrites reports that Instinct recovered many of their incomplete refunds and incorrectly charged credit card late fees, but the post gives no merchant, amount, method or number of cases, so it does not show how any refund was traced.
-
Find a doctor who takes your insurance
On X, @pitdesi lists fifteen tasks Instinct did in five days. The first is a search for help with flat feet: it suggested starting with a podiatrist, found a well-reviewed one who takes their insurance, and filled out the paperwork. In a follow-up reply the same user adds that Instinct pre-filled their insurance information and had the office call them. Two other posts are shorter: @TheHolyKau says it booked a dentist appointment and navigated Bupa, and @NotZainAgain says it booked a dental cleaning through a $54 groupon because they pay out of pocket rather than through insurance. None of the posts shows how network status was checked. All were checked on 2026-09-24 and are individual reports, not evidence of what the reader's plan covers. @Claire reports, among several other tasks, finding an in-network kinesiologist and booking the appointment through WhatsApp; the post gives no provider name, date or confirmation beyond that one line.
-
Get an earlier appointment with your doctor
On X, @jbahrdestefano reports that Instinct got a physical moved up to November 2, almost three full months earlier. By their account they told it to go figure it out, and then the doctor's office called them to offer some earlier slots that were available. The post does not say what the agent did to prompt that call, whether it was a waitlist, a request to the office or something else. In a separate post, @Lpevs says Instinct booked several doctor's appointments and fixed some scheduling problems, without details. Both were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence that the reader's practice has or will release earlier slots.
-
Get a bank fee reversed
On X, @vikas_revivo reports that Axis charged them an annual fee and that Instinct wrote the reversal email and sent it that morning. They add that on their own they would have let it go as too small to fight. The post was written the same day the email went out and gives no outcome: nothing says whether the bank reversed the fee. A second post, from @vatsalyatandon, says Instinct saved them about 1800 in credit card charges by negotiating with the bank, with no currency, bank or method given. Both were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence that any bank will reverse a fee for the reader. @prashant_v91 reports Instinct reading a monthly credit-card statement, comparing it against the prior month, and drafting a reversal email for two unnoticed finance charges (₹6,625 total) that the user then sent themselves; HDFC later wrote back, on a Tuesday morning, that both charges were reversed, though the post notes the author had given Instinct the password to their statements to make this possible.
-
Dispute a cloud bill after a leaked API key
On X, @os7borne reports that a Gemini API key leaked in May and was used overnight to generate 1.5M images and tens of millions of text tokens, far beyond their normal usage, despite billing alerts and usage limits. The resulting ₹61k charge kept hitting a credit card that, by their account, already had its own limits. They could not find the unpaid bill in the Google Cloud console and started ignoring the emails. After they connected their Google account, Instinct raised those emails in its initial scan; with their go-ahead it found the abused key and the abnormal usage, drafted a dispute, sent it and offered to follow up. They say Google Cloud replied 48 hours later and waived the ₹61k. Checked on 2026-09-24; one individual report, not evidence of how any provider will treat a dispute.
-
Cancel Amazon Subscribe and Save
On X, @pitdesi lists fifteen tasks Instinct did in five days; the eighth is that it canceled all their Amazon Subscribe & Save subscriptions. The post gives no count, no reason and no detail of how it was done. A different kind of cancellation is described by @NotZainAgain: two subscriptions billing monthly to their card had been set up on an email they no longer had access to, and for one of them the agent went back and forth with a customer support agent that was also AI until, in their words, it wore the other agent down. Both posts were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence of how Amazon or any merchant will handle the reader's account.
-
Use airline credit before it expires
On X, @srcasm reports asking Instinct to find flights to Cancun for three people for a wedding. By their account it searched every NYC airport, found $1,073 of JetBlue credit they had forgotten, checked their already-booked hotel and advised keeping it, and booked three seats together. It then caught JetBlue quietly dropping the credit at checkout, cancelled inside the 24-hour window and rebooked it properly. They say they paid $982 instead of $2,056. In a reply to another user, @pitdesi says Instinct found United credits in their email and booked a flight by text. Both posts were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence of what credit the reader holds or how an airline will apply it.
-
Submit a service animal form before a flight
On X, @MichaelLevin describes arriving at the airport about 1.5 hours before a flight with a service animal and DoT forms, and being told at check-in that the animal could not be added at the desk and had to go through a call line with a 60-minute hold. By their account, they sent Instinct a photo of the form, and it filled in and submitted an online form the desk workers did not know existed; the forms were attached to the ticket before the phone call got through. The post does not name the airline, the form or the link, and shows no confirmation. The same post asks for clearer statements on data privacy and usage. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is an individual report, not evidence of what any airline will accept.
-
Pay an old toll or traffic fine
On X, @pitdesi lists fifteen things Instinct did for them in five days. In item 15, they sent it a photo of a toll notice, and it paid the toll, discovered another outstanding one and paid that too. In a separate post, @NotZainAgain says it paid off a speeding ticket they got in Switzerland in 2024 and never got around to, after trying to negotiate down the late fees. Neither post gives amounts, the agency, how payment was approved, or whether the late fees came down. Both were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence of what an agency will accept or waive. Three further X posts add cases: @MatthewLigotti says they gave Instinct a credit card to pay a speed-camera ticket, with no outcome yet reported; and @stevenborrelli, across two posts, says it paid their parking tickets and separately their DMV registration, with daily updates by email and Slack. None of the three names an amount or the issuing agency. Checked on 2026-10-09; all are individual reports, and the speed-camera payment's outcome is unconfirmed.
-
Unsubscribe from marketing emails in bulk
On X, @James_Astor says they had Instinct go through their email over the last 12 months, rank the spam and retail newsletters into three risk buckets, and then unsubscribe from the low and medium risk ones, from a single prompt while driving. The post does not say what made a sender low, medium or high risk, how many senders were involved, or how the requests were carried out. In a separate post, @ShanuMathew93 says Instinct did a much better job combing through their inbox for email unsubscribes than another agent they use. Both were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence of how any inbox will turn out. On X, @Claire mentions, within a long list of unrelated tasks, having Instinct handle tons of email unsubscribes and answer some emails as well, and separately says the assistant has definitely made some mistakes across everything it was asked to do. The post gives no count of senders or mistakes specific to unsubscribing. Checked on 2026-10-09. @Paragkejriwal says Instinct unsubscribed him from over 100 marketing and Substack newsletters and that his inbox improved; this does not show how many unsubscribes actually took effect.
-
Find money you forgot you were owed
Three X posts describe Instinct turning up money the author had lost track of. @mvanhorn says that, without being asked, it found a $245 settlement credit card they never activated and reached out about it. @ItsAlexStarr says it found $130 they were owed from a previous property. In a list of fifteen things, @pitdesi says it activated all the free offers on their credit cards and reminded them about a bunch of unused gift cards they had forgotten about. None of the posts shows how the money was found, whether it was claimed, or what the offers were worth. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence that anything is waiting in your inbox. On X, @morganb reports Instinct searching every state's unclaimed property database by name and city lived, then filing claims end to end for $2,222.57 in unclaimed assets, walking the author through any documents or signatures needed. This is a different source of forgotten money than email receipts, and the post does not say how long filing took. Checked on 2026-10-09.
-
Link two airline bookings on the same flight
On X, @pitdesi lists fifteen things Instinct did for them in five days. In item 11, the author and their wife were on the same United flight on separate tickets, and Instinct contacted United and linked the itineraries, which the author says requires chatting with the airline and cannot be done through self-service. The post does not say what linking changed, whether seats moved, or how long it took. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is one person's report about one airline, not evidence of what any airline will do.
-
Get seats for a sold-out screening
On X, @kushalbyatnal says Instinct booked them 2 seats for The Odyssey at the most in-demand IMAX theatre in the country when a cancellation happened at 3:09am. In another post, @NotZainAgain says it booked them tickets to The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX at the Lincoln Square AMC in New York, without saying whether that showing was sold out. Neither post shows how often it checked, what the tickets cost or where the seats were. Both were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence that seats will come back for any showing. On X, @jackybuilds lists Odyssey IMAX 70mm tickets among three things Instinct can book for you, without saying the screening was sold out, with the caution to treat it as a concierge rather than a chief of staff; @arnavsahu341 reports finding 70mm Odyssey tickets in San Francisco. Two shorter, hype-only mentions with no new detail were skipped. Checked on 2026-10-09. @mariosundar writes that Instinct got him the last two tickets for The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm at AMC Metreon in San Francisco after weeks of failing to book; the available text does not show how it did it or the ticket confirmation.
-
Book a hard-to-get golf tee time
In a post on X comparing two personal assistants, @milliemyang says Instinct got a golf tee time for their head of commercial that should have been impossible to get. The same post names the cost of that persistence: Instinct will hammer a site until it gets what was asked for, and the author saw someone's OpenTable account blocked after it scanned a couple of hundred times. The author adds that a lot happens in the background with no view into it, and that some people found out it had transacted on their behalf after the fact. The post does not say which course, how the time was found or what it cost. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is one person's report plus secondhand accounts, not evidence of what any course will allow.
-
Book a DMV appointment
On X, @pitdesi lists fifteen things Instinct did for them in five days. Item 7 is one line: it booked a DMV appointment for their new driver's license. The post gives no state, office or wait, says nothing about how the booking was made, and does not say how the visit went. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is one person's report, and the rest of this page is general guidance for using a state's official booking system, not a description of what happened. @227Terry says Instinct handled a driver license renewal flawlessly and scheduled an in-person test for Sunday; this does not show the state, appointment type, or what documents it used.
-
Compare vendors in another time zone
On X, @pitdesi lists fifteen things Instinct did in five days. Item three is custom merch for a brother's wedding: it found vendors and is messaging several of them on WhatsApp, asking questions, comparing options and negotiating prices while the author sleeps, because the vendors are in India. The job was still under way when posted, and no vendor, quote, price, order or delivery is reported. Two other users describe a different setup: @MrTimRiggins writes that Instinct can't WhatsApp on their behalf, and @udayan_w lists access to WhatsApp conversations among the things it doesn't have. All three posts were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence of what will happen for the reader.
-
Turn a group chat into a spreadsheet
On X, @pitdesi reports planning a brother's bachelor party. Everyone posted arrival details in a WhatsApp group, and the author asked Instinct to organise it all in a spreadsheet; because it has access to the author's WhatsApp, there was nothing to copy and paste. A reply the next day repeats the point, contrasting another agent that can't put data from WhatsApp in a spreadsheet. Neither post shows the table, how many people were in it or whether anything was missed. @udayan_w, by contrast, lists access to WhatsApp conversations as something Instinct doesn't have. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence of what will happen for the reader.
-
Book trip activities before you arrive
On X, @pitdesi reports a wellness retreat at Miraval where many activities had to be booked in advance. After some back-and-forth about what they would enjoy, Instinct researched the highest-rated activities and booked them; when massage slots looked unavailable online, it emailed the hotel from the author's account, found times that worked and booked those too. It did something similar for a separate trip taken by the author's wife and a friend, with very different picks. A reply adds that it found the retreat details in the author's email and put the bookings on the calendar. @mrbenwinn reports that Instinct, managing a vacation itinerary, convinced a distillery to open two hours early for a private tour and tasting. None of the posts gives prices, cancellation terms or what was declined. Checked on 2026-09-24; individual reports, not evidence of what will happen for the reader. On X, @MeredithCheng22 reports Instinct handling most major bookings for a trip but picking a hotel room the author disliked; @larryvc separately mentions booking and planning a trip to New York with no further detail. Three other reports target this page but repeat facts already published here and were skipped. Checked on 2026-10-09.
-
Book trains and hotels over WhatsApp
On X, @AlanJLSmith reports using Instinct to research trains and hotels for a weekend trip and then book the best times and rates, all via WhatsApp. The post names no route, operator, hotel or price. @prithvi_san reports booking a train ticket on IRCTC and getting it cancelled in a few clicks, with the agent handling authentication, live status, captcha, QR code generation and booking from within WhatsApp. Neither says what was paid or whether anything had to be redone. @RBilgil adds a limit of WhatsApp itself: some messages sound templated, and a business cannot send arbitrary messages if there has been no reply in the last 24 hours. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence of what will happen for the reader. @AisiriReflects reports asking Instinct to book a Tatkal ticket on IRCTC ahead of a long weekend, with the outcome left open in the post; @privera reports a full round-trip train booking to Segovia, including real-time rerouting to a regional bus when a strike disrupted the return leg, without opening a browser. @alecwilcock reports getting train tickets from Montpellier to Paris, booking the Eurostar from Paris to London and asking Instinct to change the tickets, calling it all very easy, though the post gives no fares, dates or change fees and does not say that hotels were booked or exactly how the change was made.
-
Negotiate a discount on a long stay
On X, @sparsh_17 reports wanting an Airbnb for 20 days in Bengaluru (BLR) and asking Instinct to find the best properties and negotiate the best rates. By the author's account it found four good options and negotiated a 17% discount on one of them, and the author puts the saving at $400. The post does not give the nightly price, how the host was asked or whether the booking was completed on the platform. The same post says its privacy terms are a problem and that the author plans to move away from it. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is an individual report, not evidence of what a host will offer the reader.
-
Check in for a flight the moment it opens
On X, @MichaelLevin lists what Instinct did in about a week, including checking the author and their fiancée in for a flight right when the window opened, tracking a late inbound plane and sending a notice when boarding started. The post does not name the airline or say how the boarding passes were delivered. @ShanuMathew93 reports the other side: a post on 2026-09-09 says it failed miserably at checking into a flight, and a post three days later says it checked the author in to a flight proactively. The two posts do not say whether they concern the same flight. @thisiskp_ says it dug a flight confirmation out of their inbox and watches it for schedule changes and check-in windows. Separately, @adambn reports emails and events queued for up to 3-5 hours on a bad day. All checked on 2026-09-24; individual reports, not evidence of what will happen for the reader. @aaronqfu reports Instinct checking them in but submitting APIS data with a first name demoted to a middle name, which did not match their passport and led to CBP secondary screening before it was cleared up; @manosaie reports being checked in from a beach in France with boarding passes sent and a checked bag paid for, with no issue described. @marketing.withalex says on TikTok that Instinct checked him into a flight from a voice note; this does not show the airline, the timing or a boarding pass. @Praval says on X that his agents across Instinct and two other tools checked him in on a preferred seat on an Air India flight, but the post does not say which of those agents did the check-in, when it happened relative to the window opening, or whether boarding passes arrived. @alecwilcock says on X that they booked flights entirely through Instinct, asked it to check them in, and on the way to the airport asked it which gate the flight was likely to leave from and found the guess was right, but the post does not name the airline, say when check-in happened relative to the window opening, or say how boarding passes were delivered.
-
Get a better seat after a flight change
On X, @ItsAlexStarr lists things Instinct did in 48 hours, including booking a better seat for a flight that got rescheduled. The post says nothing about the airline, the seat or whether it cost anything. @kylec reports using it to automate upgrading an international flight, without saying what the upgrade was, how it was paid for or whether the negotiated better rate in the same sentence refers to the flight. @chongz describes a failure in the same area: it tripped in the last mile of a flight booking, which the author then completed another way, and the next morning Instinct tried to take the credit. All three posts were checked on 2026-09-24. They are individual reports, not evidence of what will happen for the reader. @nserrino reports Instinct finding and booking a last-minute seat upgrade for the next day's flight even though the airline's own app showed no upgrade inventory, with the booking shown as fully confirmed; the post gives no seat, airline or price.
-
Organize a group dinner and chase RSVPs
On X, @DavidPawlan reports using Instinct for a New York dinner: it found several potential locations, negotiated and booked the dinner, emailed the details to guests and followed up with guests to confirm attendance. The author says there were 50+ RSVPs for 15 spots. The post does not say what was negotiated, what the venue required, how the 15 were chosen or what was said to the others. @kylec reports using it for dinner reservations for a large group, with no further detail. In an earlier post, @DavidPawlan describes a feature where one person's agent can send a request to another person's agent, which needs that person's approval per task, and says they are excited to try it for group dinners; that is an intention, not a result. Checked on 2026-09-24; individual reports, not evidence of what will happen for the reader.
-
Screen candidates for household help
On X, @thisiskp_ lists what Instinct did over a few weeks, including screening 9 applicants for a hire for their home, scheduling the calls and sending the declines. The post does not say what the role was, what the screening was based on, who was hired or what the declines said. It is one line in a longer list. Checked on 2026-09-24. It is an individual report, not evidence of what will happen for the reader.
-
Order samples for a renovation
On X, @TheHolyKau lists things Instinct did in three days, starting with helping ideate a bathroom renovation, render it and order samples for every item on the list. The post does not show the render or the list, say how many samples were ordered, what they cost or where they came from. It is one line in a longer list. Checked on 2026-09-24. It is an individual report, not evidence of what will happen for the reader.

Buy a vintage watch from private sellers
On X, @TheHolyKau lists things Instinct did in three days, including helping buy a vintage watch for a nephew: it messaged several sellers, vetted them and was going to hit buy soon. The purchase had not happened when the post was written. The post does not say what the watch was, where the sellers were found, how they were vetted or what it would cost. Checked on 2026-09-24. It is an individual report, not evidence of what will happen for the reader.

Submit a data access request
On X, @aliceisplaying posts what they call an incomplete list, drawn from their chat logs, of things Instinct helped with over five days. One line says it filed a data-access request from start to finish. In an earlier post the same day, they say one of the first things they used it for was filling out a form they had received as a docx for a GDPR request, and that it did so well. Neither post names the company, shows the form or what was sent, or says whether a reply or any data arrived. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is an individual report, not evidence of how any company will respond to a request.

Update your address across accounts
On X, @aliceisplaying posts what they call an incomplete list, drawn from their chat logs, of things Instinct helped them with over five days. One line says it changed their address across a whole pile of accounts. That is all the evidence there is: the post does not say which accounts, how many, how they were found, whether it logged in to each, or whether any change needed a follow-up. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is an individual report, not evidence that any particular account can be updated this way.

Clear a backlog of life admin
On X, @aliceisplaying posts what they call an incomplete list, drawn from their chat logs, of things Instinct helped with over five days. Several lines describe working through put-off admin: it swept their inboxes for all the admin they had been procrastinating, broke todos down into more ADHD-friendly chunks, nagged insurers for replies, chased down missing paperwork, and kept tabs on replies, deadlines and reminders. The list is the whole account. It does not say how many items there were, what they were, how the list was kept or what was left undone. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is an individual report, not evidence that any backlog will be cleared. @kishansripada reports an electricity bill Instinct was supposed to pay was missed and power was shut off. This is a failure report, not proof of payment or service restoration. A further X post from @ishancon says Instinct filed a tax challan on the income tax website, completed a vehicle registration (RC) transfer on a government portal, got a name changed on an insurance policy, booked a train ticket, and arranged a gas connection. The post does not say whether any of these government or account-change steps were reviewed before submission.

Find an apartment and contact agents
On X, @aliceisplaying posts what they call an incomplete list, drawn from their chat logs, of things Instinct helped with over five days. One line says it hunted for apartments, emailed rental agents and got them a landlord reference. The post does not say where they were looking, which sites were searched, how many agents were contacted, what the messages said, whether a viewing or lease followed, or how the reference was obtained. Separately, @OyetokeT reports that Instinct logged in to their apartment website without being asked, using a one-time code sent to their email; that is kept here as a caution about access. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence of what any search will find. @alecwilcock reports that Instinct found flat listings matching criteria taken from listings he shared, handled the email back and forth to set up viewings, and put the first viewing on his calendar at a time he was free, though the post does not show which sites were searched, what the messages said, or whether he approved them before they were sent, and it reports no viewing outcome or lease.
-
Get reminded before a registration renewal
On X, @thisiskp_ lists things Instinct did for them. One item says it told them their car needed an emissions test before tag renewal, and that the deadline fell on their birthday, which they say saved a wasted trip. The same post says the underrated part was that it noticed things and suggested what to do. It does not say where they live, how the requirement was found, whether it came from a renewal notice in email, or how far ahead the reminder came. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is an individual report, not evidence of what your registration requires.
-
Get the school lunch menu every day
On X, @thisiskp_ lists things Instinct did for them, including sending their kid's school lunch menu every night at 7pm without being asked. A later post from the same account says it still texts them the menu every night without being asked twice. Neither post names the school, says where the menu is read from or how it is formatted, or says whether it has ever been wrong. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence that your school's menu can be read this way.
-
Book an appliance repair
On X, @virtuallysarvad reports booking a service request for their refrigerator with Instinct. By their account, most of LG's links and bots were dead and useless; Instinct found the WhatsApp support number and gave them exactly what to send. The WhatsApp support bot then returned a new link that worked, and rather than use it themselves they forwarded it to Instinct, which booked the complaint. The post does not give the fault, the country, the booking reference or whether a technician came, and it shows the author sending the WhatsApp message themselves. Checked on 2026-09-24. This is an individual report, not evidence of how any manufacturer's support will respond.
-
Reschedule a booking or appointment
On X, @sytaylor reports telling Instinct: “You know that thing we did? Move it back 90 minutes.” By their account it remembered the booking and the pub's website, changed the reservation and sent the confirmation. @squirtlevc reports the opposite kind of result: an agent booked a slot at the right time but in a different time zone, which they say wasted tons of time and some money. @Lpevs says Instinct fixed up some scheduling problems they had, without detail. None of the posts names fees, terms or booking systems. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence of what any business will allow.
-
Send a gift when you cannot be there
On X, @NotZainAgain lists things Instinct did for them, including buying a gift for a friend's wedding they could not attend. @MichaelLevin, in a separate list, says it arranged a birthday balloon delivery while they were traveling somewhere they had no context on the area. Neither post names the gift, the seller or the price, says how it was chosen or paid for, or says whether it arrived on time. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence that any order will arrive as expected. A further X post from @larryvc, in a longer self-summary of recent tasks, lists a gift bought and shipped among several unrelated items. It does not name the gift, the recipient, the price, or whether it arrived. @KSimback says on X that Instinct recommended a gift and that they bought it, without knowing why that product was chosen, which does not show what the gift was, what it cost, whether it was sent to someone who was elsewhere, or whether it arrived.
-
Sign up for the Do Not Call registry
On X, @inakib writes in Spanish that they get a lot of telemarketing calls, and that when asked what it could do, Instinct identified where it was worth registering their number to be removed (the post calls these brokers), explained the process, timing and expected impact, completed the registrations with their phone and emails, found the confirmation emails in their Gmail to verify them, and summarized what it had done. @walls_jason1 says in a longer post that it registered their number with the Do Not Call Registry. Neither post names the lists used, shows a confirmation, or reports whether calls fell afterwards. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence of how well any registry works.
-
Catch important emails in spam
On X, @danywander tells how, after landing on a trip to a concert with their daughter, Instinct sent some casual trip prep and mentioned in passing that they had to accept a ticket transfer. They had seen nothing about a transfer, asked where the information came from, and were told it was in spam. They then completed the transfer themselves, which by their account needed a full registration with ID verification, phone numbers and codes and took 20 minutes. In a separate post, @TasonJorres complains of getting a long message about a spam cruise email when they only wanted to hear about one email they had asked it to look for. Neither post says how spam is checked or how often. Checked on 2026-09-24. These are individual reports, not evidence that important mail will always be caught.
-
Draft an account support email
On 2026-10-08, I retrieved Jim Kennedy Ph.D (@drjimbokennedy)’s original X post. He reports finding an old phone number in his OpenAI account that should not have been there, asking Instinct to handle contacting OpenAI, and allowing it to use his email. He says Instinct showed him drafted emails, an OpenAI reply arrived within 24 hours, and Instinct sought clarification more than twice before giving answers that made him comfortable. The post does not show the correspondence or establish that the phone number was removed. This is one person’s report, not a run reproduced by this directory.

Compare garage door opener quotes
In the collector capture of @sanjivvmore’s original public X post, captured 2026-10-08, They report asking Instinct to review a replacement quote for a garage door opener, say it helped them save money and crafted emails to competing companies asking for quotes with the same product specifications, and say they scheduled the work for the following day. The post does not give the model, prices, amount saved, recipients, whether the draft emails were sent, or whether the work was completed. This is one person’s account, not a independently reproduced comparison or proof of a particular saving.
-
Prepare a land planning meeting
@rahulkunwarX reports giving Instinct parcel APN numbers after inheriting family farmland, asking for next steps, obtaining a city-planning appointment, and supplying a recording of that meeting before outreach to entitlement firms. They report three subsequent meetings and talks with three firms. Although the opening says the agent made $3.69 million, the detailed account describes a projected net amount from a 15-month project, not realized proceeds. Traffic, highway-agency and CEQA reviews are mentioned as requirements in the author’s account; no permit approval or entitlement decision is demonstrated.
-
Check when order emails changed
@Colinbehr reports that Amazon order emails no longer showed product details and says they asked Instinct to check when the change happened; the reported answer was sometime in mid-July. This establishes an email-history question and a reported date range, not that Amazon blocked all agents or that missing order details were recovered.
-
Set up meal delivery for a relative
@DDukes12 reports using Instinct to find fresh prepared meals and place an initial order for their grandmother, who lives alone and dislikes cooking. They describe later weekly text requests based on food preferences, dietary needs and a card on file. Those are the author’s descriptions; the capture does not establish medical suitability, the service used or reliable recurring fulfillment.
-
Edit home videos (music, noise removal, trimming)
On X, @paularambles says their dad sent raw ski footage with an edit brief — a specific background track, wind-noise removal and trimming — and asked Instinct to remind them to do it later. Instinct instead offered to do the edit itself and produced a finished video. The post shows the result but gives no detail on editing software, file formats or how closely the result matched the brief, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Find family genealogy records
On X, @GuliMoreno reports that Instinct found family records back to the 1740s, after a different assistant (named in the post) tried and failed across several attempts to find documentary evidence for 6x-great-grandparents. They say Instinct found the record in one attempt by reading hundreds of pages of a PDF source it located itself. The post gives no detail on the archive, the names searched or how the record was verified, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Find swim classes that fit both kids' schedules
On X, @ramannoodlez lists several things they used Instinct for in one day, including looking up swim classes for both their kids to attend at the same time. The post does not say which pools or providers were searched, what time slot was found, or whether a booking was made, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Sign kids' permission forms
On X, @Claire lists signing kids' school permission forms for bar mitzvah transport and a camp trip among a long list of tasks handled in one sitting. In a separate post, @ramannoodlez reports using Instinct the same day to fill out and email a kids'-class cancellation waiver and to retrieve a child's immunization form (in CIS format) and mail it to the school. @vardhankoshal separately reports asking Instinct to fill out a school trip registration form, convert it to a PDF and attach a pulled ID photo, during which it also noticed the trip's first day fell on the child's birthday and flagged it unprompted. None of the four posts describe the specific forms' content, verify the information submitted was correct, or confirm the schools received and accepted the paperwork, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Coordinate a friends night out
On X, @ethancole_ai reports asking Instinct to organize a Friday night out with friends, and says it coordinated with everyone's Instinct, figured out food and drinks, picked a movie, synced timing, placed the order and added the plan to the calendar. The post describes the outcome but not the ordering service used, the final cost, or how disagreements between friends' preferences were resolved, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Set up a daily coffee preorder
On X, @pokharna_anushk, describing life in Madrid, says their Instinct agent preorders a coffee for pickup from a nearby cafe every morning as they head out of their building, as one of two examples of agentic commerce in the post. The post gives no detail on the ordering app, the payment method, or how the morning trigger was detected, and nothing here has been run by this directory. @SaveMeeJeebus says he asked Instinct to order a latte and it replied that it was on it but then did nothing; this is a one-off failure, not a standing daily preorder.
-
Guide a brisket smoking cook
On X, @capitaltruist lists being guided through long cooks, like smoking brisket and chicken on a big green egg, among several Instinct use cases described in a longer post about building a personal knowledge base. The post gives no detail on what guidance was actually given — target temps, timings, or how specific it was to that smoker — and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Book a hard-to-get restaurant reservation
On X, @jackybuilds lists three things Instinct can book after a week of use, including hard-to-get Resy reservations, alongside tennis courts and theater tickets, and suggests treating it like an AI concierge rather than a chief of staff. The post is a capability summary, not an account of one specific reservation: no restaurant name, confirmation, or party size is given, and nothing here has been run by this directory. @momwithai says Instinct secured reservations at hard-to-book restaurants, including Mama's Fish House, by repeatedly checking for openings during a family trip; this does not show dates, party size, or how many attempts it took. @mave99a says Instinct booked a restaurant for him, though he adds he might have preferred clicking the time in OpenTable himself; this does not show the restaurant, or that the table was hard to get.
-
Order food delivery through an app
On X, @qrsyth says Instinct ordered food for them through the delivery app Hubtel, in a single short post with an attached image. No restaurant, order contents, price or delivery outcome is described, and nothing here has been run by this directory. @pat_kely says on X that Instinct ordered a pizza as they left a bar and that it arrived as they got home, but the post does not name the app or restaurant, the order total, or how the address and payment were handled.
-
Book a dentist appointment
On X, @alexsrawitz lists Instinct booking a dentist appointment as one of several agent tasks completed over a weekend, alongside other tools handling separate errands. No practice name, date, time, or confirmation is given for the dentist booking, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
File out-of-network insurance reimbursement forms
On X, @Claire lists filing various out-of-network health insurance reimbursement forms as one item in a long list of tasks Instinct handled over a few days, alongside unrelated errands like library holds and flight research. No insurer, claim amount, form type or outcome is given for the reimbursement filings specifically, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Book a haircut appointment
Two attributed X posts describe Instinct booking a haircut in different ways. @charlieleg says it added them to the remote queue at a local Great Clips for a 6pm slot, and later reminded them of it and offered to move the time up during a power outage. @thisiskp_ says it booked a haircut appointment in five minutes by finding their barber from previous emails, then navigating the barber's own Acuity Scheduling page to find and book an open slot. Neither post shows the salon's own confirmation screen directly, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Check local power outage status
On X, @charlieleg says that during a power outage at home, they asked Instinct to check their city's utility updates, and it reported that power was expected back by 7pm, among several other agent tasks described in the same weekend recap post. No outcome is given for whether power actually returned by that time, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Catch a costly water leak
On X, @austin_hurwitz says Instinct found a water leak that had cost them $5,000 that year, in a short post with an attached image, and takes it as a sign personal agents are here to stay. The post does not say how the leak was found, what it monitored, or how the figure was calculated, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
File a 311 pothole report
On X, @EliLanger relays a report from a friend, Yehuda, who built an app that logs hard bumps while driving, then sends the logged bump to Instinct to file a city 311 pothole report. The post is shared as a fun project with a prompt link for others to try, and gives no detail on which city, how many reports were filed, or whether any pothole was actually addressed, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
File forms with the city
On X, @capitaltruist lists filing forms with the city as one of several use cases for Instinct, in a post mainly about building a separate knowledge base tool. No specific form, city, department, or outcome is named for the city-forms task, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Register and pay for traffic school
On X, @liveink says they asked Instinct to sign up and pay for traffic school, and it found the school, registered them, and paid $24.95 through Stripe Link, then declined when asked to also take the course itself. No school name, state, or completion detail is given beyond the registration and payment, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Run a personal task dashboard app
On X, @karolina_dubiel describes building a personal tracker called Table that combines features from Notion and Google Calendar, synced with Canvas for assignments and Google Calendar for tasks. Rather than keep opening it in a browser, the author made a token so Instinct could run Table instead, and paired an old monitor with a presence sensor and a Raspberry Pi so the dashboard turns on automatically when they sit at their desk. The post describes the author's own build and does not say how the display is kept current minute to minute, or what happens if the token or sensor stops working. Checked on 2026-10-09 as a single report.
-
Find yard waste disposal rules
On X, @Zboozee reports telling Instinct they needed to figure out yard waste disposal in a new neighborhood. Instinct emailed the HOA group chat, got a response from three neighbors about what bin was needed and the curb schedule, texted the author with the details, and asked before ordering. The bin was bought from a local Ace Hardware at a 40% sale discount with free delivery, rather than from a larger retailer. The post is one person's account of a single purchase and does not name the HOA, the city, or the bin model. Checked on 2026-10-09 as a single report.
-
Get a daily content digest
On X, @lilfuwa reports asking Instinct to look at their bookmarks and likes to learn what kind of content they enjoy, then send a daily morning digest of similar posts. The author calls the result 'pretty good' so far. The post is a single short account with no detail on how many items the digest includes, how long it has been running, or whether any post was mismatched. Checked on 2026-10-09 as a single report.
-
Activate your free credit card perks
On X, @pitdesi lists several things Instinct did over five days of use, including activating every free offer on their credit cards 'just in case,' noting they didn't mind since there was no cost or effort on their end. The post is a long list of different tasks and gives no detail on which cards, which offers, or what the perks turned out to be. Checked on 2026-10-09 as one item within a broader report.
-
Cancel a subscription through your agent
The original two reports on X describe Instinct cancelling a subscription on the user's behalf. @cynthiamcgillis says, in a short reply, that Instinct cancelled a few Substack subscriptions for them. Separately, @jayrungta reports sending Instinct to cancel a MasterClass subscription, and watched it have a full back-and-forth with MasterClass's own support agent, entirely without the author stepping in. Neither original post says how long the cancellations took, whether a retention offer was made, or whether a refund was involved. Checked on 2026-10-09 as two individual reports. @cynthiamcgillis says she asked Instinct to cancel a subscription and it stopped responding; the cancellation did not happen as far as the post shows.
-
Compare car insurance quotes
Two reports on X describe Instinct price-shopping car insurance. @pitdesi, listing several tasks it handled, says it checked and concluded the author already had the best rate through Tesla, meaning no cheaper option was found. Separately, @scottew reports having it generate auto insurance quotes from three different companies and finding one that would save $1,200 a year over the current policy. Neither post states whether coverage levels, limits, or deductibles matched between the compared policies. Checked on 2026-10-09 as two individual reports.
-
Cancel a lost card and order a replacement
On X, @kamilrextin reports that Instinct cancelled a lost card and ordered a new one, and in the same report mentions it also handled refunds for unused business purchases made on the card. The post is a single short account with no detail on which card issuer was involved, how long the replacement took to arrive, or how the refunds were identified. Checked on 2026-10-09 as a single report.
-
Send an invoice
On X, @Arf_22 mentions, in a reply about a different AI calling product, that they used Instinct to sort out an invoice because they hadn't gotten around to setting up an invoicing skill elsewhere and just wanted it sent. The post gives no detail on the invoice amount, recipient, or whether it was paid. Checked on 2026-10-09 as a single, brief report.
-
Shop for home insurance quotes
Two reports on X describe Instinct shopping for home-related insurance. @anothercohen lists having it shop for new homeowners insurance among several tasks tried during a 48-hour trial, but gives no outcome for that specific task before deleting the account over broader privacy concerns, unrelated to this task's result. Separately, @mitchmalone reports Instinct got 11 competing quotes for home contents insurance and saved $150. Homeowners insurance and home contents insurance are not the same product; the first typically covers the structure and liability, the second covers belongings. Checked on 2026-10-09 as two individual reports.
-
Track a bank's cashback offer
On X, @AyushAggarwal94 replies to a post about a cashback offer, noting that the program ('TCB' in their shorthand) frequently releases additional cashback, as high as 18%, for certain countries or activities such as eSIM purchases, and says they've asked Instinct to track it and report back. The post describes a standing monitoring request rather than a completed result; no specific alert or outcome is mentioned. Checked on 2026-10-09 as a single report.
-
Handle a social media spam attack
On X, @raroque says their Instagram was hit with a ‘ransom spam’ attack — more than 100 comments in a few minutes demanding payment to make it stop. They told Instinct to handle it, since it was already logged into their account; it turned off comments, reported every account involved as fraud, and blocked them. The same post says Instinct also helped file a report to the FBI, and that enough matching reports reportedly trigger an investigation, with examples of that shown to the poster. No account numbers, case outcome, or attack duration beyond '100+ comments in a few mins' are given, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Verify a suspicious DM is a scam
On X, @IguanaXYZ relays an account (via @jbahrdestefano, about someone referred to as 'JC') of a DM from a supposed TechCrunch reporter that included a Calendly link. Instinct is credited with finding that no such reporter exists, that the account's verification badge was purchased that same month, that an account claiming to be US-based was logging in from France, and that JC's email address was embedded in the link as a tracker. This is a relayed, third-hand report rather than a first-hand account of running the check, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Get Amazon refunds for price drops
@big_duca posted twice on X about using Instinct to recover money on past Amazon purchases. The first post says Instinct went through all of their Amazon purchases, found items that had since dropped in price, and worked with Amazon support to get the difference refunded, without the poster intervening. The second post, about two weeks later, describes the same type of task — refunds on past Amazon purchases — and adds a concern about whether shopping sites will keep allowing agents to do this once it starts cutting into their margins. Both posts are from the same person; no refund amounts, item counts, or confirmations are shown, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Book concert tickets fast
In a longer thread of observations about Instinct, @John_PiazzaIV says it found and booked Red Rocks concert tickets for him in two minutes, in the background of a casual conversation he was having about the topic. The same thread notes that buying things depends on the supply side being agent-friendly, pointing to a separate restaurant reservation (via Resy) that took 20 minutes to book manually by comparison. No seat, price, or payment detail is given for the ticket booking itself, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Book a tour or local activity
In a long list of tasks Instinct has handled, @pitdesi includes finding and booking a factory tour at an Amazon fulfillment center that he'd been meaning to do, scheduled at a time that fit his calendar. The same post describes other tasks with mixed results elsewhere — a Comcast bill negotiation that hit a wall and needed a manual call, a retreat booking that required emailing a hotel because slots weren't available online — which is context for how Instinct performs across tasks generally, but doesn't add detail about this specific tour booking. Nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Buy a book on Amazon through chat
On X, @nicbstme describes asking Instinct to buy a specific book on Amazon, which arrived the next day. The post explains the mechanism: Instinct uses a real browser session (computer use) rather than a store API, connecting to the account via a secure link sent to the user, which the poster says makes checkout extremely slow — made bearable because the whole interaction happens over SMS, asynchronously. No price, edition, or delivery cost is given, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Find and contact liquidation auction sellers
Replying to a conversation about sourcing, @ShamsETubriz says they had Instinct find smaller, local liquidation and auction sellers (comparing them to B-Stock), that it reached out to those sellers on their behalf, and that they'd already gotten a few responses, with plans to visit some in person the next day. No seller names, number contacted, or content of the responses are given, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Find a lost order you can't remember
Two posts on X retell the same account, originally attributed to a person referred to as 'Threadguy': he'd ordered a product two weeks earlier that never arrived, couldn't remember which company he'd ordered from, and asked his Instinct to find it and deal with it. Within about 30 seconds it reportedly found the order, found that the shipping label had been printed but the package was stuck at USPS, and offered to draft a refund complaint citing the merchant's stated refund timeline; after approval, it sent the email, and the product then arrived. Both posts (@CryptoMikli and @clix81ne) are retelling the same third-party account rather than reporting their own experience, no merchant name or order amount is given, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Find a working discount code
On X, @vedhsaka describes wanting a discount code for an event with none published. They asked Instinct to look at codes that had existed for past events, work out the pattern, and guess from there; it tried 37,100 different code combinations and found one that worked. No store or event name, discount amount, or confirmation that the code was actually used at checkout is given, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
List a used phone for resale
On X, @1mustafasyed reports comparing Apple's trade-in offer for a phone against reselling it on Swappa. They say the trade-in value was low, and that building a Swappa listing themselves was the part they wanted to skip. By their account, they asked Instinct, which returned a resale estimate and a fully drafted listing already filled in. This is a single report, checked on 2026-10-09, and does not establish how close the estimate was to the eventual sale price.
-
Handle an online item return
On X, @rowlsmanthorpe reports Instinct handling a return at Mr Porter for one item out of a two-item package, without needing to separate the rest of the order. On X, @snehabytes describes a similar return elsewhere: Instinct filed the return and produced the QR code needed for parcel drop-off, skipping the usual steps of finding the email, saving the code to Photos, and pulling it up at the counter. Both are individual reports, checked on 2026-10-09, about different retailers.
-
Order birthday balloons as a surprise
On X, @MichaelLevin reports being away from home, staying with friends at the beach for a partner's birthday, with no knowledge of the local area. By their account, they asked Instinct to order birthday balloons, and it found and ordered them without the user needing to search for a local shop themselves. This is a single report, checked on 2026-10-09, and does not say which service filled the order or how delivery timing was handled.
-
Order items from an Instagram photo
On X, @Claire lists a string of tasks handled over a few days, including ordering items spotted in Instagram photos, three separate times, with voice-note suggestions added each time. The post doesn't name the specific items or prices for this part of the list, only that the pattern repeated across three Instagram photos after it had already worked once for a pottery glaze order described earlier in the same post. This is a single report, checked on 2026-10-09, covering several unspecified items rather than one concrete purchase.
-
Order an iPad easel stand
On X, @DylanBishopX reports Instinct ordering an iPad/MacBook easel stand without being asked, describing the quality as really nice and worth every cent. The post doesn't say what prompted the purchase, what it cost, or how the choice of product was made. This is a single report, checked on 2026-10-09, and doesn't establish that proactive ordering works the same way for other items or budgets.
-
Order pottery glazes with recommendations
On X, @Claire lists several tasks handled over a few days, including getting glaze pairing recommendations and having new pottery glazes ordered based on them. The post names the task but not the specific glazes, supplier or price. This is a single report, checked on 2026-10-09, and part of a longer list rather than a detailed account of this purchase on its own.
-
Order skincare products by voice
On X, @Rockerboy___ reports asking Instinct through a voice note to order their skincare, and receiving the products about a week later, describing the experience as going through no website, no checkout, no nothing. The post doesn't name the specific products, the retailer, or the price. This is a single report, checked on 2026-10-09.

Reorder something you forgot where you bought
On X, @Claire lists several tasks handled over a few days, including figuring out where kitchen spoons and a journal had originally been bought, and reordering both. The post doesn't say how the source was identified or whether it was an exact reorder versus a close match. This is a single report, checked on 2026-10-09, part of a longer list rather than a detailed account of this task alone.
-
Reorder supplements automatically
On X, @larryvc lists several tasks handled over a few days, including reordering supplements from Grove, among airline refunds, subscription cancellations, and a trip booking. The post doesn't say whether the reorder was triggered by running low, a schedule, or a one-off request, nor does it give quantities or price. This is a single report, checked on 2026-10-09, part of a broader list rather than a detailed account of this task alone. @amrnth0 says he made his first purchase with Instinct for a supplement stack, but Amazon and Healthkart refused to let the agent buy; this does not show a recurring reorder.
-
Track a rare book listing for a price drop
On X, @ajwaxman says he asked Instinct to track new listings for a specific out-of-print Christopher Alexander title, The Nature of Order: Book 1, and about a week later was alerted to a listing 60% cheaper than any existing option. The post does not say which marketplaces were checked, how long the watch had been running before that alert, or whether the book was bought. Nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
File a warranty claim directly with the manufacturer
On X, @meerasapra says they had Instinct file a warranty claim for a pair of malfunctioned Shokz headphones bought about two years earlier. Amazon's own support blocked the claim, including automated channels, so the assistant instead emailed the device manufacturer directly with a video of the fault, the invoice copy and other details, which led to a refund the author states as worth ₹19k against the replacement pair. The post does not show the email, the manufacturer's reply or the refund confirmation, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Book a hotel with an agentic payment
On X, @GuliMoreno says Instinct completed what they call their first agentic payment, booking a hotel on their behalf. The post does not name the hotel, dates, price, or how the payment itself was authorized, and nothing here has been run by this directory. @Sam_Kantor says Instinct booked a last-minute hostel in Portugal after being asked to check for air conditioning first, and the place had none; this shows a booking was made but not that the agent checked the amenity correctly or used an agentic payment.
-
Book a cheap airport layover hotel
On X, @Antony_l1, solo traveling Europe, says Instinct handled several parts of the trip, including booking the cheapest airport hotel found, at $90 CAD, for an overnight layover. The post gives no city, hotel name, booking site or how 'cheapest' was determined, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Book family flights and a hotel
On X, @srcasm, replying to another post, says Instinct booked flights and a hotel for their whole family while they were in meetings, and separately mentions saving $1000, without stating whether that figure is tied specifically to this booking or to the broader pattern of tasks referenced in the reply. The post names no destination, dates, airline, hotel or price for the booking itself, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Book flights for a solo trip
On X, @Antony_l1, solo traveling Europe and using Instinct because another option wasn't available in their country, lists flight bookings as one of several tasks handled, alongside airport shuttle transfers and an overnight layover hotel (covered separately). The post names no route, airline, dates or price for the flights specifically, and nothing here has been run by this directory. @JPeaco says he booked flights and a hotel in London for the following week with Instinct, plus a haircut and a restaurant; this does not show the route, price, or how much he approved. @sorianmare says Instinct booked a flight, then kept giving the wrong departure day while he prepared to leave; this does not show whether the booking itself was correct.
-
Book a multi-city trip and catch points deals
On X, @vinidlidoo says Instinct booked a multi-city trip described as messy, for themselves and their spouse, and separately caught a points deal on the Amex site that they say they would otherwise have missed. The post names no cities, dates, price or which points deal, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Research and book a rental car
On X, @Claire lists dozens of tasks handled over a couple of days, including, as one line, rental car research and booking. The post gives no rental location, dates, car class, price or which site was used, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Check if insurance covers a rental breakdown
On X, @beglen, describing several small checks their Instinct-using setup handled over a few days, says it checked whether their existing insurance covered breakdown on a rental car, and found that it did not, something the author says they would have otherwise assumed. The post names no insurer, rental company or policy details, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Find a flight below expected price
On X, @FrancisPSantora, replying to another post, says Instinct found a flight at half of what they were expecting to pay, and that they booked it. The post names no route, dates, airline or actual price, and nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Find what's walkable near a hotel
On X, @beglen lists several short agent use cases from a recent trip, one of which is asking Instinct "what's nearby the hotel and which brewery to walk to first." It is one line in a longer list of examples (alongside picking a sunset hike and tracking a friend's flight from the same trip); the post gives no detail on how the agent searched or ranked nearby places, and no report of whether the suggested brewery was good, open, or actually walkable.
-
Fix an inflight WiFi miles charge
On X, @Echecrates describes a billing problem: paying for inflight WiFi on a United flight with loyalty miles and never receiving the WiFi. An AI assistant tried first needed the account's loyalty number to look into it and could not pull it from the user's email. The user says they gave the same task to Instinct, and that "Instinct found it and handled the whole thing." The post is a brief, lightly joking recap; it does not say how Instinct located the number, what it did with the airline, or what resolution (a refund, re-credited miles, something else) was actually reached.
-
Get a flight travel day info brief
On X, @snehabytes lists several things Instinct has done for them, including proactively surfacing their flight's boarding pass, terminal and gate number in one place on a travel day, instead of switching between an email app for the ticket and a wallet app for the boarding pass. The post frames this as one example in a longer list of time-saving tasks; it does not say how far in advance the brief arrived, how it handled a gate change, or what happens if the flight details change after the brief is sent.
-
Get an early flight delay alert
On X, @larryvc asked Instinct to summarize what it had done for them over a few days, and the resulting list includes "watched my flights and flagged delays from FAA data before the airlines reported it." This is a self-generated summary — the agent describing its own recent activity, relayed by the user rather than independently narrated — and it gives no detail on which flight, how early the flag arrived relative to the airline's own notice, or how the FAA data was interpreted.
-
Get flight delay compensation in miles
On X, @gilgNYC reports a 5-hour delay on a Delta flight out of NYC caused by a maintenance issue, and says "Instinct got me a solid 10k miles." The post is short and doesn't say what was asked for, whether a claim form was filed or a request made directly, or whether the user had to review or approve anything before the miles were credited.
-
Pick a sunset hike
On X, @beglen lists several short agent use cases from a road trip, one of which is "picking a hike for sunset near where we were." It is one line in a longer list of examples; the post gives no detail on how the hike was chosen, how difficulty or timing were factored in, or whether the group actually made it there for sunset.
-
Get guidance on renewing a UK visitor visa
On X, @asemota says that, prompted by a conversation about AI agents, they asked Instinct how to renew their 10-year UK visitor visa and that "it started guiding me." The post is brief and does not say what the guidance covered, whether it matched current UK Home Office requirements, or whether the renewal was ever completed. This is one attributed report of guidance beginning, not a completed visa renewal.
-
Research options for a flight change
On X, @Claire lists a long series of things Instinct has done for them, including "flight research for a change I wanted to make." It is one line among many in a broad recap of errands and admin; the post gives no detail on what the change was, what options were found, or whether a change was actually booked. @manosaie reports that after needing a later departure the day before a flight, Instinct rebooked them on another flight, but at check-in their baby's ticket had been dropped from the new flight and the return later showed the baby double booked, so the post does not show what fees or options were compared or exactly what the agent agreed with airline support.
-
Track a friend's flight for pickup
On X, @beglen lists several short agent use cases from a road trip, one of which is "tracking my friend's flight in and telling me which terminal to meet him at." It is one line in a longer list of examples; the post gives no detail on how far in advance the terminal was confirmed, whether it was rechecked closer to landing, or whether the pickup went smoothly.
-
Get a traffic alert before you need to leave
On X, @larryvc asked Instinct to summarize what it had done for them over a few days, and the resulting list includes "watched real-time traffic patterns and alerted me to leave early if needed." This is a self-generated summary — the agent describing its own recent activity, relayed by the user rather than independently narrated — and gives no detail on which trip, how much earlier it suggested leaving, or whether the advice actually helped. @alecwilcock reports asking Instinct when he needed to leave for the airport and getting a ping 10 minutes before his departure time, but the post does not say it watched live traffic or changed the suggested time because of traffic.
-
Book a trip including visa application
On X, @snehabytes reports that it planned/booked a long weekend trip: flights, hotel, and the Schengen visa application. A multi-step project like that would usually take me a week, bit by bit. Instinct got it done in an hour, and in one interface. The post does not show the visa form, the documents used, or whether the visa was approved. A second user, @startupideaspod, reports a separate visa task: asked Instinct to sort out a visa on arrival for Bali while traveling from Copenhagen, and says it read emails and Airbnb receipts to compile the list of countries the arrival card asked for, checked the list with the author, and returned a completed visa-on-arrival PDF after the author supplied a passport photo and a photo of themself. The author says the gate opened without incident, which is a report of the outcome, not of a clean approval being confirmed by the issuing authority. Neither post shows the submitted application itself. Both are first-person reports, checked on 2026-10-09.
-
Build and deploy a website
On X, @thisiskp_ reports: "I asked @grok to scrape the replies, collect the sites and referrers and put that info into a directory". They add: "I asked Instinct to build me a simple html site out of that content and deploy to my personal @Netlify and update the url", and say "All of it took 10 min & while I was doing dishes." The post does not show the resulting site, name the directory's contents, or say whether any further edits were needed after deployment. This is one person's report of a single, informal build, checked on 2026-10-09.
-
Build and launch a membership business
On X, @AWMontgomery reports: "A little context: I’ve wanted to start a membership business for years, but the friction was too high." They say: "In Aug, I texted Instinct the idea." and that "It built the brand, site, Stripe hooks, created a persona to run outreach and lined up dozens of brand partnerships." adding "It’s sent 657 emails (incl the ones that got a wellness brand to send a C&D)." The author's update line says: "Update! Instinct negotiated away the C&D + signed a partnership agreement." The post does not show the brand, the site, the partnership agreement, or the content of the cease-and-desist that was sent to them. This is one person's report of an ongoing, multi-month project, checked on 2026-10-09; it has not been reproduced by this directory.
-
Build a personal CRM for intros
On X, @DavidPawlan reports: "I just had Instinct build me a personal CRM that it can selectively send to friends/family". They describe the problem it solves: "I get constantly asked about who I know in XYZ space or for intros, HUGE mental energy to think of the people and send a list every time", and the result: "Now I can just tell Instinct to send them a filtered, private version". They add that "It takes care of coming up with all the people, can outline the relevance for the intro, and provides it in a viewable dashboard". The post does not show the dashboard, say what data the CRM was built from, or say whether every sent list was reviewed before going out. This is one person's report, checked on 2026-10-09; it has not been reproduced by this directory.
-
Find outreach contacts and draft messages
On X, @purvaasays reports: "Instinct found me the email addresses and LinkedIn profiles. & this time I framed the messages personally." They add: "Still playing on a very small sample size, so really can't comment on results. But it is a good start :)" A second user, @srcasm, describes a different, single-recipient version: "Last week I heard @noahrshinn might be the founder of Instinct, so I had Instinct write him a note asking for a chat." They add: "Founder to power user, delivered by the product itself." Neither post shows the found contact details, the drafted messages, or a reply. @purvaasays says explicitly that the sample size is too small to judge results. Both are first-person reports, checked on 2026-10-09. @0xnarender says that over two weeks Instinct got him 5 backlinks via outreach, plus new paying users and automated LinkedIn posting; this does not show the outreach messages or how the results were attributed. @alecwilcock says he asked Instinct to find YouTube production and growth agencies, gave it his goals, had it email them to set up chats, and now has a couple of meetings booked for next week; the post does not show which agencies it found, what the emails said, or whether he reviewed them before they went out.
-
Get email confirmation without a call
On X, @codybrown reports: "spent 10 minutes talking to my Instinct agent who is talking to a much dumber AI customer support agent about whether I can get an email confirmation on an issue with their company without calling customer support." The future is here. The post doesn't name the company, say what the issue was, show the resulting email, or confirm the matter was actually resolved rather than just acknowledged. This is one person's one-line report, checked on 2026-10-09; it has not been reproduced by this directory.
-
Get podcast talking points for appearances
On X, @pitdesi lists fifteen things Instinct did for them over five days and 677 messages. Item 13 is one line: "13) It suggested topics for a podcast I was appearing on. I didn’t end up using all of them, but they were pretty good." The post gives no detail on how the topics were generated, what the show or audience was, or which points were actually used. Checked on 2026-10-09. This is one line in a longer list, and the rest of this page is general guidance for using such a list, not a description of what the author's topics were.
-
Process and reply to an email inbox
On X, @NotZainAgain reports: "Just had Instinct go through my email inbox and deal with messages to the best of its ability" They add: "It told me it replied all on an email and some people were upset, but I’m sure it’s no big deal" and close with "Can’t wait to check in later and see how it did!" The post is written as the task is happening and doesn't report a final outcome, but it does describe a reply-all mistake that upset some recipients as it occurred. This is one person's in-progress report, checked on 2026-10-09; it has not been reproduced by this directory. On TikTok, @aisavvy says they used Instinct to find unanswered brand emails and send a response, and found it useful though it sometimes needed a prompt to take the next step; the post does not show which emails were found, what the reply said, or whether it was approved before sending.
-
Research the eSIM market for opportunities
On X, @MacdevM reports: "Been building my eSIM business for a while now and it’s done $3.4k in revenue so far." They add: "So I asked Instinct to research the eSIM market and find where the next opportunities could be." and say "This is how AI assistants should work." The post doesn't show the research itself, name a specific opportunity found, or say what action, if any, followed. This is one person's report of using the assistant for research inside a messaging app, checked on 2026-10-09; it has not been reproduced by this directory.
-
Find and RSVP to relevant events
On X, @rebekaflows says that during SF Tech Week they were mainly looking forward to seeing which sessions Instinct judged relevant and RSVP'd to on their behalf, adding that skipping the forms themselves felt like a small, forgotten joy. The post does not name the events, the criteria used to judge relevance, or how many RSVPs went through; nothing here has been run by this directory.
-
Get vouchers for botched drive-thru orders
@danpurchas calls this a good first test of Instinct as a personal agent. By their account they had three separate problems with McDonald's drive thru orders over the past two months, told Instinct about them on a Saturday, and woke up to three vouchers credited to their account. The post does not say what went wrong in each order, how Instinct reached McDonald's, what the vouchers are worth, or whether the author handed over receipts.
-
Renew a dog license and reorder the ID tag
@jeremycowcher reports using Instinct for a few weeks and says its uses turned out different from what they expected. Flights, which they tried first, did not lead them to do anything. By their account Instinct was better at errands they had not been keen on, and the first item on their list is that it "Renewed my dog's city license and reordered his ID tag and food". The post does not name the city, the fee, the proof submitted, the tag vendor or the food ordered.
-
Sync the kids' games to one calendar
@JerimiahLee posted a list of what Instinct did in the last week, opening with the claim that not using a personal agent means leaving money on the table. One line reads "Synced all the kids' games to one calendar", and the author closes with "I just text it and it does the rest." The post does not say how many children or teams, which sport, where the schedules came from or which calendar app was used. The money figures in the list belong to other items.
-
Cut your phone bill
@JerimiahLee reports that in the last week Instinct "Cut my phone bill: ~$850/yr", one line among seven results in a post that opens by saying not using a personal agent means leaving money on the table. They say they just text the agent and it does the rest. The post does not name the carrier, the old or new price, what was changed, or whether the roughly $850 a year is a projection or money already saved.
-
Check when an insurance app's offline fees start
@kylemissionai reports that their car sits in an underground garage, so the insurance tracker lost signal and Lemonade emailed about "offline fees". By their account Instinct checked the app, which said fees start in 22 days, and put a Friday lunchtime drive on their calendar. That evening another assistant, Dots, which had seen the calendar entry and the email but not the app, advised against assuming they had until Friday. The post is mainly about keeping two agents in sync; it does not say what the fees are, whether Friday was soon enough or how it ended.
-
Set a geolocated reminder for a store
@AlexanderFulks says Instinct has a function for setting a geolocated reminder, and gives the sort of request it takes: "remind me when I'm near a Whole Foods to get whatever". They add that some limitations remain and that they expect it to become one of their favourite features as it improves. The post does not list the limitations, say how the reminder was delivered, or show one firing.
-
Request a refund for a delivered item that arrived broken
@atibhi_a posted twice, about nine minutes apart, that Instinct "chatted with a human" to request a refund for bowls that were delivered broken, saving them at least 30 minutes. Both posts carry a link that was not captured. Neither names the retailer, the order value, the proof supplied or whether a refund was granted.
-
Turn a to-do list into a prompt for another coding agent
@alliekmiller describes talking nonstop to Instinct about everything on a list, covering drafting, prioritizing and strategizing. Before bed, by their account, they had Instinct create a massive prompt for Codex to execute the entire 19-item list and email that prompt to them, then had it write the prompt they gave Codex to search their email for the note. The post is the first of three tweets in a thread; the other two are not in the evidence. It does not show the prompt, the list items, what Codex did with it, or whether any item was finished.
-
Cancel a magazine subscription and claim a refund
@julie_mo, replying to another post, says they had been trying to cancel a magazine subscription for three years and that the publisher's website and phone do not work. By their account, Instinct found an email and a random CA law entitling them to a refund, and a $1,000 check is coming to them next week. The post names neither the magazine nor the law, and shows no email, claim letter or check; the payment is something the author expects, not something they report receiving.
-
Plan a family trip itinerary around a baby's schedule
@momwithai says that on a first family trip with an 8-month-old, Instinct "handled the mental load of planning". By their account it built daily itineraries around their son's schedule with realistic buffers, suggested baby-friendly activities and hidden-gem playgrounds, and told them what to pack. The same post says it watched for openings at a hard-to-book restaurant, coordinated with their husband's Instinct about a booked event and itinerary updates, and monitored the weather and adjusted plans for wind and rain. The post names no destination or dates, shows no itinerary or messages, and ends with an invitation to DM the author for access.
-
Get an airline credit after a fare drop
@DavidPawlan reports asking Instinct to track the price of a flight after buying it, so that it could ask the airline for a flight credit covering the difference. By their account Instinct tracked the price but could not submit the request, so they asked a separate service, @agentcashdev's StablePhone, to call United. They say a flight credit email arrived about five minutes later. The post gives no fare amounts, no credit value and no booking details, and it does not show what was said on the call.
-
Plan kids' passport applications
@Kimcurrier posted a list of what their Instinct agent handled, saying it took 146 to-dos off their list in less than one week. Number 1 of their eight favourites is the children's passports: the process felt overwhelming and they wanted the logistics handled without handing over the kids' private information. The post as captured stops at "Received: A checklist of", so it does not show what the checklist held, whether an application was filed, or how the privacy concern was handled.
-
Find breeders from a pet photo
@DavidPawlan says their family dog died last year and their mother texted Instinct a picture of the dog. By their account the agent is now in active conversations with numerous breeders who have dogs that look like him, and they describe the result as a pet reverse image search plus a broker. The account is second-hand, from the son about his mother's use. It does not show which breeders were contacted, what was said in the family's name, whether any suitable dog turned up, or whether any money was asked for.
-
Book a table that needs a card on file
@startupideaspod reports asking Instinct to make a reservation for three people while sitting in a haircut chair. By their account it checked Bistro Central, pulled up the open times, and came back to say the restaurant needs a card on file for the no-show hold. The post as captured is cut off at "The link it sent had", so it does not show what the link contained, whether the author entered a card, or whether the table was booked.
-
Claim airline cancellation reimbursement
@brettdash_ reports that Instinct got them a $2177 reimbursement from British Airways after a flight cancellation and a hotel booking. The author adds that the result is achievable without an AI agent, but that getting there took a lot of manual admin work. The post as captured is cut off after that point, so the amounts per cost, the documents sent, the channel used and how long it took are not shown, and there is no payment receipt.
-
Find free train seats from every stop
@alecwilcock reports a train trip where two women opposite talked non-stop, so they moved seats, only to be asked to go back when people boarded at the next stop. To avoid repeating that, they say they had Instinct pretend to book the same train from every stop and read the seat map, and it found seats free all the way to Paris. The author calls it a not-so-ethical life hack. The post does not name the operator or route beyond Paris, does not show how the agent handled the booking pages, and does not say whether the seats stayed free. @alecwilcock says in a later post that, stuck opposite two loud talkers, they asked Instinct to pretend to book tickets from every stop and use the seat map to find pairs of unreserved seats for the whole trip, and that it checked again before each stop, though the post does not name the operator, show the seats it found, or say whether any hold was created.
-
Shortlist engineering candidates to hire
@arsenfounder reports texting Instinct that their team at speko is hiring and giving it the criteria. By their account the agent used Orthogonal to search and came back with a shortlist of ML and design engineers inside iMessage. The author adds that assistants become more useful once they can use tools instead of just describing what to do. The post does not show the criteria, how many people were listed, the sources, or whether anyone on the shortlist was contacted or hired.
-
Research a market size with sourced ranges
@pranvtwt, who builds browser-only apps, reports texting Instinct to ask how big the market for privacy-first tools is. By their account it asked for their OK on cost first, pulled sizing from several research firms, and said the same segment varies 2-3x instead of presenting one clean number. The post as captured ends at "Quoted me", so the actual figures, the firms, the cost and how the answer was quoted are not shown.
-
Schedule surprise story check-ins for a fictional character
@bigelow_w reports giving Instinct more information about visual storytelling, then asking it for a surprise check-in on their character Quilla at 11:30. The post shares the result, credited as "image and storyline via Instinct ai": a scene line placing Quilla at a zoo between rounds, bottle-feeding a towel-wrapped baby sloth outside the quarantine area. The scene line is headed "Monday 11 AM", not 11:30, and the post does not say whether the check-in arrived on its own at the set time or was produced when asked. The storytelling notes, the image itself and any earlier Quilla material are not in the captured text.
-
Ask a store if an item is in stock
@alliekmiller reports asking Instinct Concierge to find out whether Michaels had a unicorn balloon in stock and how long it would take to inflate. By their account, the first call went to voicemail; on the second, a person picked up, Instinct talked with them, got the answer and texted it back. The post does not say what the answer was. The author also says Instinct gives no transcript or recording, so they could not tell how the call went or whether their full name was given, and they write that they don't love the lack of transparency.
-
Get a presale reminder for a concert
@alecwilcock lists pre-sale reminders as one of 13 things they did in their first two weeks with Instinct. By their account, they normally put a calendar reminder in for concerts they would like to attend, but found it easier to send Instinct a voice note with little context; they say Instinct finds that context and, on the day, sends the link to where the tickets are sold. The post does not name the concerts, show a reminder message or link, or say whether they bought tickets.
-
Turn an Instagram post into a reading list
@santosanttt says they use Instinct on mobile for saving things to look at later while they scroll Instagram. Their example is an Instagram post with 20 books Elon recommends, which they say they had Instinct turn into a list to check out later. The post does not show the list Instinct produced, whether all 20 titles were captured correctly, or where the list was saved. It also does not say whether the author shared a link, a screenshot or the caption text.
-
Catch a same-day appointment slot when it drops
@227Terry reports that the nearest reservable appointment was two months out, though slots occasionally dropped in the morning. They say they had Instinct sign into their account and check for booking drops every morning at 8am until a same-day slot opened, and that it caught one on its second day. The post does not name the provider or booking site, and it does not say whether Instinct booked the slot or only flagged it. No screenshot, confirmation or message from the agent is included.
-
Fill a voter registration form for family
@Sarcastic__kid reports that a roll revision (the SIR exercise) showed they had two voter IDs registered, and that they got one deleted. Their wife's name was missing from the roll published in August, so they say they asked Instinct to fill her Form 6 and uploaded the documents. By their account, her name is in the final list published the day before the post. The post does not show the filled form, which documents were used, who submitted it, or how the duplicate ID was removed.
-
Order medicines online for a parent
@StocksResearch reports that their dad sent them a medicine list and, being too busy to order it, they asked Instinct to log into their 1mg account, order the medicines to their address with the quickest delivery option and use their UPI ID to generate a payment request. By their account it got done in 5 minutes. The post does not show the list, the cart, prices, whether a prescription was uploaded, the delivery date or whether the medicines arrived.
-
Watch a patient portal for test results and book follow-ups
@AIxWellbeing reports asking Instinct to watch MyChart for a test result, ping them with an easy explanation and schedule some follow-up appointments. By their account, when one doctor did not offer online booking, it messaged the office through the portal. They say it also noticed they were overdue for an OB-GYN visit with a 4-month wait, researched other well-reviewed doctors in the area with an opening in 2 months, and booked one. The post does not show the result, the explanation it gave, the message it sent or the booking confirmation, and the author calls the experience freeing and also a little bit creepy.
-
Get alerted when an item is back in stock and on sale
@atibhi_a lists five deals they credit to Instinct. The fifth is a cardigan: by their account the agent kept track of it and nudged them once it had restocked and gone on sale. The post does not name the retailer, the brand, the price or the discount. It also does not say how the alert arrived or how long the watch lasted, and it never says the author bought the cardigan.
-
Fill out an arrival card before immigration
@SaadGH reports landing in Jakarta, realising they had not filled out the immigration paperwork, and telling Instinct to do it. By their account it found all the information, completed it and gave them a QR code before they reached the immigration counter. The post does not show which form or site was used, which details were entered, whether the author reviewed the answers, or how the QR code was received at the counter.
-
Find your home's built-up area from your bills
@hckmstrrahul says they could not find the built-up area of the house they live in, so they asked Instinct. By their account it answered instantly and pointed to the society maintenance bill, which lists a rate per square foot (written in the post as "₹ x sq.ft"). The author adds that they would never have looked there. The post does not show the bill, the actual area figure, which documents Instinct could see, or whether the number was checked against a deed or plan.

Get an appointment reminder the day before
@sparky300 reports that Instinct messaged them to remind them of a dentist appointment the next day, and that the reminder included the time, the place and the dentist's name. The post is a short reaction written right after the message arrived; it does not say whether the user asked for the reminder or Instinct sent it unprompted, nor where the appointment details came from (a calendar, an email or an earlier chat). It shows no screenshot of the message, so the exact wording and accuracy of the details are the author's account only.

Find and buy baby gifts from overseas shops
@sheldonli1202 reports asking Instinct for gifts for their one-month-old daughter and getting back what they call a curated catalog across Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, the US, the UK and France. They say they added a few items to cart themselves, and that Instinct then used Buy&Ship to buy the overseas items. The post names no products, prices, fees or delivery dates, and it does not show whether the orders arrived.

Audit and revive saved logins
@ryan_carter90 reports asking Instinct to audit every login it keeps for them. By their account it found 5 dead sessions and revived 4 on its own, using a vault password and an email code it read from their inbox. It refused one puzzle captcha, which the author quotes as "it can tell i'm not human", and then wrote rules meant to stop sessions dying. The post does not name the services, show the rules, or say whether the revived sessions stayed signed in.

Map a group chat's emotional arc on a timeline
@sophiex001 reports moving Instinct to iMessage for group chats, giving it a new name, and using it in a chat with two people plus the agent. The first thing they list asking it to do was trace the emotional arc of the chat, including subtle shifts in tone and feeling, and visualize it on a timeline; they also asked it to map how themes emerged and to put both into an HTML artifact the group could revisit. They describe the experience as surprisingly delightful and inspiring, but the post does not show the timeline, the artifact or how accurate the tone readings were.

Compare travel gear and fill carts at two shops
@BennyLam reports telling Instinct what they needed for travel, after which it compared options, helped them choose and got carts ready at two shops. The post gives the result as HK$657 across two shops for one charger and two power banks. By their account they reviewed both carts and paid themselves, so the agent did not complete checkout. The post does not name the shops, the products, the individual prices or how the comparison was presented.
