Here’s why we believe Instinct can become the defining personal agent company of this era. Search made finding things trivial. Mobile put it in your pocket. Instinct makes everyday tasks frictionless.
Excited to partner with Noah Shinn (@noahrshinn) and the team building a personal agent that can actually finish the job.
Congratulations to Noah Shinn (@noahrshinn) and the Instinct team on their Series C.
Instinct lives in messages, uses the same tools people do, and handles everyday tasks end to end, making “just handle it” feel possible.
Coatue is excited to partner with the team.
@patrick_oshag and I had a great conversation a few days ago.
We talked about:
- Instinct’s high-craft, user-centric, and minimalist approach to product-building.
- Our exploding invite-only program that ensures that every new user is onboarded by a close friend or family member.
- How the internet will be transformed over the next 1-2 years when the majority of users stop using apps or websites.
- A few of my personal goals in terms of the experience I’d like to deliver to users.
Thank you Patrick!

Cheers to Eric, Karim (@karimatiyeh), and the
