About

Instinct is a personal assistant that understands what you are working on and what is important to you, then connects directly to the applications and devices that contain the context of your everyday life. It can work across email, messaging, your screen, audio, location, and other sources rather than requiring you to move everything into a new interface. The interaction model is deliberately simple: there are no new interfaces to learn. Instinct is trained to use a phone and a computer in the same way people do, and users can reach it by text or by calling it. Its core model is trained to understand and handle the deeply personal nuances of everyday life, allowing it to move beyond answering isolated prompts and instead act on ongoing responsibilities and unfinished threads. It can follow up on conversations you have dropped, proactively call or text you when something needs attention, arrange transportation to the airport, and book a handyman for your apartment.

About

Poke is a proactive AI assistant built by The Interaction Company designed to live inside existing messaging platforms (like iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS) rather than asking users to switch to new apps; it integrates with users’ email, calendar, and files to turn messages into action (e.g. drafting replies, rescheduling meetings, paying invoices) through short, conversational bubbles. The experience aims to feel natural; messages are brief, there are typing and read indicators, one-tap actions, and memory of context, so the assistant can behave more like a human conversational partner than a typical chatbot. It focuses on privacy and security, built to meet SOC-2 and CASA Tier-2 standards. Poke recently raised ~$15 million in seed funding, with a valuation of ~$100 million; early adopters (around 6,000 testers) have already been using it heavily in iMessage, sending on average tens of thousands of messages per month.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Instinct feels much closer to an actual personal assistant than a normal chatbot. I can text it like I would a person, hand it something that needs to get done, and let it handle the messy follow-up work. The ability to call businesses is especially useful. Things like restaurant reservations, appointment waitlists, service issues, and other tasks that still require a phone call are exactly the kind of work I want an AI assistant taking off my plate. I also really like that Instinct has its own email address. Letting the agent handle confirmations, account signups, and communication without flooding my personal inbox makes the whole experience feel more autonomous.

Cons

  • The biggest concern is privacy. Instinct needs access to a lot of personal context to be this useful, and early testers have raised questions about its permissions, security model, and terms. It is also still early and access remains limited, so I would not hand it complete control over anything sensitive without keeping a close eye on what it is doing.
