What is Instinct AI and how does it work inside iMessage?

Greg Isenberg 0:00
Yeah, you've probably heard of Instinct AI by now. You know, the invite only personal agent app that's raising money at a rumored $10 billion? Well, what does it look like inside? And what are some use cases? And what are some crazy things that you can do with it, like, you know, saving money on your phone bills or getting a visa approved in a foreign country with only three messages? Well, today, me and my friend Remy. Are going to show you the inside of Instinct AI, this secretive invite-only app. We're gonna show you how it works, where it shines, and where it could use a little bit of help. The TLDR is it really does feel like the personal agent app for everyone, including your mom. I've got a few extra invites, so if you like, comment, and subscribe to the channel, I'll give it out to some random people.
Greg Isenberg 0:48
And I hope someone from Instinct watches this uh and just piles me with a thousand invites that I can give to everyone. So let's get those likes, comments, and subscribes going. And I'll see you by the end of the episode. The start of I just
Greg Isenberg 1:07
AI with Remy's here. By the end of this episode, what are people gonna learn?
Remy Gaskell 1:13
I'm gonna give you an overview on the new agent product instinct that has just come out. We're gonna go through the good and the bad. I think they've done a lot of things well and some things not so well. So yeah, by then you're gonna get a full overview on the product as a whole and how you can be using it within your life.
Greg Isenberg 1:29
So different use cases, what you like about it, what you don't like about it. uh why it's interesting, why you should pay you know, pay attention to it or not. By the end of this, people I think, you know, what I hope, Remy, is that people just don't understand what instinct AI is and how to use it, but also just It gets people's creative juices flowing around personal agents in general.
Remy Gaskell 1:52
Hundred percent. I think there's some cool lessons to be taken to apply to your own business with how the founders like rolled it out, how they've been um How they built it with like network effects, some cool things like that as well. Cool.
Greg Isenberg 2:05
Let's let's get into it.
Remy Gaskell 2:07
Sweet. So I just wanted to touch as well on like what I think it did really, really well, and then what I think it did really, really poorly. So what I think it did well is the right amount of dialogue, not too verbose, used reactions really, really well and understands them too. Like I could thumbs up react to messages. It would ask me for for approval, and I could just thumbs up react and it would take that as a yes. Uh the utilizes Apple iMessage features really, really well. Like the the loud message messages, the confetti reactions, it can listen to your voice notes that you send through Apple messages. And this one this one was like genuinely blew my mind. It was I I sent it a game pigeon game. Greg, do you know game pigeon, like the the um iMessage games?
Greg Isenberg 2:48
I can say I do.
Remy Gaskell 2:49
So
Greg Isenberg 2:50
I feel like I should.
Remy Gaskell 2:52
You like this was a thing like back when I was like younger. You could send it's like an app called Game Pigeon and you can send games you play games through iMessage with people.

What are the biggest strengths and standout features of Instinct AI?

Remy Gaskell 2:59
So I sent Instinct uh this Cup Pong one and Sent it off to it and it and it came back and started playing the game with me. I was like genuinely gobsmacked. We'll see if it does it here.
Greg Isenberg 3:16
Waiting for opponent.
Remy Gaskell 3:20
Give it a give it like A minute. It's a minute, right? Yeah, straight away. Back on your table, you'll move. So you can see I was I st I was playing cut pong. And it's nailing it.
Greg Isenberg 3:35
That's crazy.
Remy Gaskell 3:40
Just Absolutely cleaned up and then now it was my turn to play back. So that was that was like a really, really nice touch. Like I'm trying to I'm imagining that the Instinct teams would like would have gone through so much extra dev to get these game pigeon games to work. I they have to have actually coded that. I can't imagine that it's just genuinely doing that, doing it itself. So that was super impressive. Memory was was cool. So um when I asked it a question in the chat about trying to get my Monitor box wrapped. When it filled out the visa on arrival card, I noticed that it put in a thing about like how many suitcases and it added in like the monitor that was being checked into oversize.
