Overview
A Verge reviewer found that Instinct, a text-message-based AI agent from a startup valued at $10 billion in late September, held its own against rival agents Muse and Dots.
In the test, it handled everyday online tasks such as finding swim lessons and arranging an Ikea return, and it matched the rivals on many tasks, though it missed a prerequisite class detail on one website.
The agent runs through iMessage, WhatsApp, or email and connects to services such as Google Workspace, Slack, and Notion. The Verge reports that Instinct currently has no app and no monthly subscription.
