Instinct can now make phone calls for you with Instinct Concierge

Instinct, the personal assistant you text or call, can now make phone calls on your behalf. Noah Shinn, Instinct's founder, announced the change on X on September 16th.

The new service is called Instinct Concierge. Shinn describes it as a white glove service for high-touch cases, such as making phone calls and booking high-end services.

Shinn's examples are errands that usually take a phone call. Book the restaurant that doesn't take online reservations. Get on your dentist's cancellation list. Or get that cable bill sorted out.

On September 16th, Instinct began slowly rolling Concierge out to its early access group. Shinn says the company will be expanding access to more people soon.

Instinct itself is a personal assistant with no new interface to learn. You text it or call it. It's trained to use a phone and a computer, the same way people use them.

To understand what you're working on and what matters to you, Instinct connects to your apps and devices. That means your email, messaging, screen, audio and location.

Day to day, Instinct follows up on threads you've dropped, calls or texts you without being asked, arranges a ride to the airport, and books a handyman for your apartment.

In the launch post on August 26th, Shinn wrote that early users planned cross-country road trips, bought groceries and concert tickets, and cancelled subscriptions. One is planning a wedding. Instinct is an invite-only beta.

What Instinct can see depends on the permissions you grant. That can include your messages and emails, a payment card so it can book rides, and passwords so it can sign into accounts for you.
