@kjoules @rhokilpatrick so like, a ghost town?

@wyrdmaze @instinct As far as I’m concerned, Delta Air Lines is an airline company, where they fly airplanes to transport passengers and goods, not AI tokens

There is no evidence that Delta pivoted to become an AI assistant. Therefore they aren’t the first “Apple-approved third party AI”

[Jane Manchun Wong @wongmjane]

Instinct is working with Apple to integrate its Messages for Business platform

If launched, @Instinct would become the second third-party AI officially approved by Apple for the platform, following Interaction’s Poke (acq’ed by Cognition) in June 2026

@starry__dynamo @aidenybai I don’t think this is helpful when the person is having mild signs of suicidal ideation

[Jane Manchun Wong @wongmjane]

@DavidClinchNews It will surely be acquired, but it could be by other companies

Instinct’s cloud-centric philosophy seems to be the opposite of Apple’s local/privacy-first approach

@benhylak I think CA is already digitizing their DMV workflow and making it AI-assisted

Instinct is working on Spotify integration

Instinct is working on the ability to share your login credentials to Trusted People

with the ability to make the sharing temporary or permanent

@theo I just feel like foldable phones in general can’t physically withstand the violence and abuses from my bike rides :P

@petersellis @X @SpaceX Congrats!

Update: Instinct launches Action Button support two months afterwards

[Noah Shinn @noahrshinn]

Instinct on the Action Button

You can now make Instinct your iPhone’s Action Button. Press and hold, say what you need, and Instinct will take it from there, without you needing to leave the app you’re on.

To set it up:
1. Go to https://t.co/mkmhtYazuT and tap Add Shortcut
2. Go to Settings → Action Button → Shortcut → Instinct.

This is available to all Instinct users on an iPhone 15 Pro and newer.

[Jane Manchun Wong @wongmjane]

Instinct is working on “Talk to Instinct”, which turns iPhone’s Action button into a voice input for Instinct

I, for one, am glad I snagged a rent-controlled apartment in a nice SF neighborhood before the AI boom

No hacker house for me. You can pry my lease from my cold, dead hands
