- Prepare
Company or service
- Ask and review
State the account issue, what you already know, and what you want support to clarify. Share only the relevant context; omit passwords, one-time codes, and unrelated personal details.
- Check the result
The draft names the issue using only facts in the context you supplied.
Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- You can state the issue and the exact clarification you need.
- You can review the recipient and full draft before it is sent.
- You will verify any claimed correction in the service account itself.
Does not work when
- You need an immediate security response or account lockout help.
- The issue requires sharing a password, authentication code, or payment details.
- You need a guaranteed resolution rather than help preparing and following up on a support request.
The source case
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.
A public report by someone outside this library. Not independently reproduced here.

What you need
Editorial, not from the source
You supply
- Company or service
- The account detail and question to resolve
- Relevant support correspondence or account context
Connected
- An email account only if you want the assistant to read or send correspondence
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- State the account issue, what you already know, and what you want support to clarify. Share only the relevant context; omit passwords, one-time codes, and unrelated personal details.
- Ask for a short draft that separates confirmed facts from questions, and have it show the recipient and exact message before anything is sent.
- Check the recipient, account identifiers, and wording yourself. Correct any detail that is guessed or unsupported by the material you supplied.
- Approve the message explicitly before sending. Review each reply and ask for clarification where needed; treat the summary as a report of what support said, not proof that an account change occurred.
Open Instinct to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
- The source is a personal account, not a saved email thread: it does not show the drafts, the replies, or whether the old phone number was removed.
- A support reply may be automated, incomplete, or about the wrong account. Verify any claimed correction in the service’s own account settings.
- Do not share passwords or one-time authentication codes. Email access and sending depend on what your own account has connected and authorized.
- Nothing in the report establishes that every support issue can be resolved this way; this page has not independently tested Instinct.

Editorial, not from the source
- The draft includes a detail you did not provide
- Remove it and ask for a revised draft that labels unknowns as questions rather than filling them in.
- Support replies without answering the main question
- Ask for a short list of the unanswered points and approve a focused follow-up.
- The reply says a detail was changed
- Check the account’s own settings before treating the change as complete.
