Works when
- You want a starting list of possible topics rather than starting from a blank page.
- You're comfortable editing and picking from suggestions rather than using them as-is.
- The appearance is conversational, not a scripted set of answers.
Does not work when
- You need every talking point fact-checked against very recent developments it may not know about.
- You want a full script rather than a shortlist of options.
- The appearance requires points coordinated with a co-host or producer in advance, beyond what you alone can supply as context.

The source case
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.

What you need

You supply

- Your background or recent work to draw from
- Anything you'd rather not bring up

How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Give it the show, the likely audience, and what you'd rather not discuss, along with your background or recent work.
- Ask for a shortlist of talking points rather than a full script, each with a one-line reason it might come up.
- Review the list and keep, drop or edit each point based on what you actually want to say.
- Treat the final list as options to draw from in conversation, not a sequence to follow.
One line among fifteen
@pitdesi's report is a list of fifteen things Instinct did across five days and 677 exchanged messages, from booking a podiatrist to paying tolls from a photo. Item thirteen says it suggested topics for a podcast appearance the author was making, adding that they didn't use all of them but that they were pretty good. That's the entire description: no detail on how the topics were generated, what the show was about, or which points actually got used on air. This page treats that as a reasonable, low-stakes use of the tool alongside the other fourteen, not as a tested method, since there's nothing in a one-line mention to test against.
Give it real context to work from
A talking-points list is only as useful as the background behind it. Share what the show covers, who the likely audience is, and what you've actually been doing or thinking about recently, rather than asking for generic points about your general field. If there are topics you'd rather steer away from, say so upfront, since a list built without that guidance may wander into territory you'd prefer to skip, or raise something you haven't settled your own view on yet. The goal is a set of options that reflect your actual recent work and thinking, not a generic interview-prep checklist that could apply to almost anyone in your field.
Treat it as a menu, not a script
The author's own report includes the detail that they didn't use all of the suggested topics, and that's the right way to receive a list like this: as a menu to pick from, not a set of commitments. Review every point before the appearance for accuracy, since a suggestion can rest on outdated or incomplete information about your own work, and drop anything that doesn't sound like you or that you'd need to research further to defend in conversation. Walking in with a handful of points you've actually chosen, in your own words, tends to read better on air than a longer list you haven't fully reviewed or committed to remembering.
Open Instinct to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
- The report is one line in a list of fifteen; it doesn't say how the topics were chosen or which ones the author used in the actual appearance.
- A suggested talking point can be based on outdated or incomplete information about your own work; check each one before relying on it.
- Talking points are not a script. A list that reads as overly polished can come across as rehearsed; use your own words once you've picked what to talk about.
- This directory has not tested how well a generated list matches what a specific show's audience or host actually wants to hear.
Editorial, not from the source
- Before drafting: confirm the show, audience and any topics to avoid.
- After drafting: review every point for accuracy against your own knowledge.
- Before the appearance: decide which points you'll actually use, if any.
Editorial, not from the source
- A suggested point is based on outdated information about you or your work
- Correct it or drop it before the appearance; don't assume it checked for anything recent.
- The list reads like a script rather than talking points
- Ask for shorter, option-style points instead of full sentences you'd read verbatim.
- You didn't end up using most of the suggestions
- That's normal for a shortlist; as one report notes, not every suggested point gets used, and that's fine.
Common questions
Can an agent suggest talking points for a podcast?
One user reports it suggested topics for an appearance, adding they didn't use all of them but found them pretty good. No detail on method is given.
Should I read the suggested points verbatim?
No. Treat them as options to edit and pick from, in your own words, not a script.
How does it know what to suggest?
From whatever background and context you give it about the show and your recent work. The more specific that context, the more useful the suggestions.
What if I don't use most of the suggestions?
That's expected. The original report says the same: not every suggested point got used, and that's a normal outcome, not a failure.
Will it avoid topics I don't want to discuss?
Only if you tell it which ones to avoid beforehand. State that explicitly rather than assuming it will guess.
