Shareable files in Instinct

Starting today, your Instinct can create shareable Files: private or public interactive pages that you can share with others.

Whenever it’s appropriate, Instinct will create a File to help you compare options, work through a plan, or share what you’ve put together.

For example:
- Apartment hunting: compare places you’ve saved or toured, with photos, floor plans, rent, commute times, and your notes in one place.
- Art gallery crawl: a route through exhibitions that match your interests, with opening hours, background on the artists, and a few cafes to stop by along the way.
- Dinner with friends: a guest list, recipes scaled for eight, and an ingredient list you can check off as you go.
- A weekend away: an itinerary built around your arrival time, with places to visit and details you can open along the way.
- Group trip expenses: enter shared costs, choose who participated, and see who owes what.

You can keep a File private or share it with anyone who has the link, including people who don’t use Instinct.

Files are rolling to all Instinct users today. To get started, you can ask your Instinct to do the research for your next trip.

Introducing our Trusted Person network powered by our new Instinct-to-Instinct communication protocol. Your Instinct can now talk to other Instincts to coordinate plans on your behalf.

Getting people together often involves a lot of back-and-forth: finding a time, working out the details, and following up when plans change. Instincts can now work with each other to help handle that coordination.

For example:
- Coordinating plans with your spouse
- Planning a weekend trip with friends, including dates and arrival times
- Scheduling time with colleagues and other collaborators
- Hosting events with 10s or 100s of people
- Organizing recurring plans like tennis, book clubs, or weekly dinners

Disclaimer: Your Instinct will only be able to communicate with those in your Trusted Person network. This is the group of people who are closest to you:
- Spouse
- Older children and parents
- Colleagues and trusted professional relationships
- Small local businesses

The Trusted Person network is currently available to our early access group and will be slowly rolled out across the user base over the next 24-48 hours.

Instinct + Stripe

Instinct users who make purchases spend over $1300/month on average through Instinct. Using Instinct to make high value purchases is a sign of trust that we deeply value.

We’re partnering with Stripe to deliver a more seamless payment experience. Instinct has enabled use cases that involve payments including:
- Planning and booking international trips
- Ordering weekly groceries and household essentials
- Booking yoga classes, ski tuning sessions, doctor’s appointments, car part repairs, and more
- Getting you the best price for anything you’re looking for

I’m Noah, the founder of Instinct.

Instinct is a personal agent that we’ve been building for the past few months. The interface is simple: there are no new interfaces. You can text or call it. It's trained to use a phone and a computer in the same way that humans do. Instinct combines simplicity with extreme capability.

I’m thrilled with everything our early users are doing with Instinct. They’ve told us they’ve planned cross-country road trips, bought weekly groceries and concert tickets, and cancelled hundreds of dollars of subscriptions. Someone’s even planning their wedding with Instinct.

We want to make Instinct the best personal agent for all of you. It’s available in an invite-only beta program while we’re actively bringing up more compute. I’m excited to see what you all do with it.

@noahrshinn So excited for what is to come!

@markkhrapko @thewildstevenp Exciting times to be a builder!

Incredible

[Enigma @Enigma_AI]

We just did the largest live deployment of interactive robots in history.

Users online could ask the robot to do things it was never taught to do.

A true foundation model, with 0 task-specific data and 0 task fine tuning.

[Henry Lien @Henrymlien]

Incredible work!

[Enigma @Enigma_AI]

Today is Drop #2: Research.

Robotics foundation models need a lot of data, and a lot of engineering even for tiny adjustments.

This feels wrong.

Today, we share with the world a sneak peek to our research - training more efficient robotic foundation models.

Excited to be a part of Enigmas journey for intelligent robots - @j0nathanj and team are incredible!

[Enigma @Enigma_AI]

We put 100 real AI-powered robots online.

Anyone in the world can control them right now, from a browser.

Go make one do something:

We're coming out of stealth.

We've built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised.

Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads.

Our first racks ship this summer.

So happy to finally get this out to the public. Has been something we have built out as a team for the past few weeks and represents exactly what we look for when we scour the globe for incredible individuals!
