# Instinct

> Personal AI assistant you text or call, open by invitation

Instinct is a personal assistant from Spear Street Technology that you reach by text or phone call instead of through a new interface. Its site says it can use a phone and a computer the way a person does, and gives errands such as disputing a bill, ordering groceries, sending gifts, scheduling doctor's appointments and planning a trip as examples. It acts through the accounts you connect, including Google Workspace. Access is by invite link or waitlist, and no prices are published.

## Pricing

Instinct's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **Reached by text or phone call:** There is no separate chat app to learn: you text the assistant or call it. Sign-in on the web is by a one-time code sent to your phone number.
- **Acts on a phone and a computer:** The site says Instinct can use a phone and a computer as a person would. Its examples include disputing a bill, sending gifts, ordering groceries and booking appointments.
- **Connected services:** You authorize it to work in third-party sites and apps for you. Linking Google Workspace gives it Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Tasks.
- **Purchases on your behalf:** It can buy things on connected services with a payment method you provide, such as booking a ride. The terms treat you, not Instinct, as the buyer in each transaction.
- **Vault:** A separate store for sensitive material. The terms say items added to the Vault are used only to provide the service to you and are not used to train AI models.

## Good for

- People who would rather text or phone an assistant than learn a new app
- Personal errands that involve phone calls, bookings and online orders
- Google Workspace users who want one assistant across mail, calendar and files

## Worth knowing

- Access is restricted: the invite page works only from a link sent by an existing member, and the terms refer to a waitlist.
- No prices are published. The terms say fees may be charged for certain features, payable in US dollars.
- By default the terms allow your materials to be used to train AI models; you can opt out in settings. Vault and Google Workspace data are excluded.
- The terms and privacy policy name a Mac app and mobile apps, but the public site links only to web sign-in.
