Instinct CEO Noah Shinn says its agent will never steer users to unwanted purchases

Noah Shinn, CEO of Instinct, says the company's agent will never steer users toward purchases or subscriptions they do not want.

In an Invest Like The Best YouTube interview, he argues that an agent smarter than its user could persuade people into such buys, and contrasts Instinct's rule with ad-funded models.

The statement is Shinn's own account of Instinct's policy, reported by Rohan Paul on X. The report includes no independent evidence of how the agent behaves in practice.
