Instinct, the viral AI productivity assistant, has launched dedicated email addresses for its user agent instances, allowing the platform to send, receive, and manage correspondence directly on behalf of users.
By assigning each instance an @instinct.ai address, the startup moves beyond isolated chat interfaces toward autonomous agentic workflows. The feature enables Instinct to execute multi-step tasks—such as negotiating vendor rates, scheduling complex calendar events, and triaging inbound customer queries—via asynchronous email threads. The release highlights a broader industry push to embed AI agents into legacy communication protocols, while re-igniting security discussions around prompt injection risks, automated spam, and identity verification in automated email handling.
