Noah Shinn presents Instinct as a personal agent that can use a phone, computer, email, and voice to perform tasks on a user’s behalf. The conversation explores how trusted agents could coordinate with one another, reorder online commerce, and reduce dependence on apps and attention-driven business models. Noah discusses the gradual process of earning trust, protecting sensitive data, aligning monetization with user interests, and preparing businesses for agent-mediated transactions. He also describes the product principles behind Instinct—understandability, emotional quality, proactivity, and adaptive personalization—along with the infrastructure challenge of supporting rapidly compounding growth and increasingly autonomous background work.
