A new artificial intelligence chatbot, Instinct, has captured users' attention for its ability to manage everyday tasks through SMS and WhatsApp. The information, reported by expansion.com, highlights that this tool can respond to emails, make purchases, and manage schedules for free and efficiently.
Instinct, founded by Noah Shinn in 2025 and based in San Francisco, has become a viral phenomenon, achieving a valuation of 2.5 billion dollars after closing a funding round of 250 million dollars in August 2026. It is currently in talks to raise 1 billion dollars at a valuation of 10 billion dollars.
This AI agent acts as a personal assistant, connecting to various platforms with the user's consent. It allows users to make reservations, cancellations, and manage emails without needing to switch applications. This approach has sparked interest from investors, who see Instinct as the future of artificial intelligence applied to daily life.
Despite its growing popularity, security concerns have also been raised, as users must grant the application permission to access their information. To mitigate these risks, it has been announced that each user will have a unique email address to operate with the chatbot, thus avoiding the exposure of personal data.
Instinct competes in a market where other companies like Grok and Meta are also developing AI agents. Although it is currently free, the terms of use suggest the possibility of implementing payments in the future.
