AI Assistant Instinct Rolls Out Its Own Email Addresses

Instinct, the AI assistant startup now valued at $2.5 billion, has launched a feature that provides users with dedicated Instinct email addresses. These addresses enable the AI agent to autonomously create and manage accounts, contact businesses, and follow up on tasks without cluttering user inboxes. The feature is part of a series of recent updates, including a partnership with 1Password for login management, a location-sharing feature, and a Stripe integration for payments. While businesses may face reduced clarity in customer interactions, users gain convenience. Instinct also allows email forwarding for task assistance, such as handling returns. The rollout aims to enhance the agent's autonomous capabilities.
