Location sharing on Instinct Starting today, you can share your location with Instinct on iMessage. Instinct can recognize when you arrive somewhere, and answer questions about where you’ve been. Here are some examples of how our early alpha group uses it: - Ordering food to your current location -... Finding a lunch spot a few minutes away based on what you like - Guiding you through a trip itinerary in a new city - Figuring out how to get home, including which train to catch and where to board Instinct can also act when you enter or leave an area. You can ask it to remind you to pick up your package when you get home, or have your boarding pass ready when you arrive at the airport. These location triggers let Instinct follow up when the task becomes relevant. Your location history also gives Instinct context to answer questions like “Where did I park?”, “How long did my bike ride take?”, or “What was that nice coffee shop around here that I went to last month?” If you’re an existing user, you can try it today by asking Instinct to request your location. If not, we’re giving access to 1000 new users who want to try it out: . If you missed it, you can join our waitlist here:show more

I have a stupid sounding request since I’m sure you think they are a competitor, can you connect Instinct to Grokbot? I use Grokbot for deeper work, connecting to my computer, broader task management, if it could connect to Instinct and treat it like another “bot” in its army that is my personal assistant specifically, that would be amazing.

what happens when you’re just passing through somewhere, like stuck in traffic outside a restaurant you don't intend to go to? does it still trigger things?

Amit Mandelbaum6 days ago

This is great. You know what would be better if I can set instince a reminder to remind me something when I get to a specific location and it would automatically recognize when I get to this location and would remind me. Is this possible?

Authenticator support in Instinct Instinct can now securely and seamlessly handle the “enter your 6-digit authenticator code” step for you. It uses the same time-based one-time password (TOTP) standard as Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and other popular authenticator platforms. Once an account’s authenticator is set up in Vault, your agent can generate and enter its verification codes to unblock itself on your task. 37% of users store at least one account password in Vault within their first three weeks. A lot of everyday work happens behind a login. However, even with your password saved, an authenticator prompt can mean stopping the task, opening an app on your phone, and sending over a code before it expires. Instinct can now handle that step and keep working. On supported services, Instinct can complete the enrollment and save the details alongside your login in Vault. You may need to approve the initial sign-in or an existing security check. Where a service allows an additional authenticator, you can keep using the one on your phone. Once setup is complete, Instinct can use its own saved key to generate codes for future sign-ins. Phone approvals and other security checks may still need your input. Authenticator support is another step toward giving Instinct the tools it needs to complete tasks on your behalf in the real world, with fewer interruptions along the way. This is available across all of our users today.

Australian banks have imposed restrictions on customers making cash withdrawals. "How can you go to a bank and not be able to get your own money out?" "People are saying where is [my money]? You have my hard-earned cash, where is it? When the answer that you get is I just don't have it, it really does get you thinking about our whole banking system."

Imagine an AI application that can type anywhere you can and use the full context of what's on your screen. This is the application we all deserve (at least if you have macOS.) Check out Omnipilot. It's an app that works with every other macOS application and uses Claude Sonet 3.5 in the background—it also supports Gemini and GPT-4o. Here is the idea: You can use the tool to ask questions about anything on your screen. Or you can use it to autocomplete the text you are typing. You don't need to copy and paste anymore or waste your time providing context to a model. It sees what you see. It works right where you are. That's pretty cool. Here are a couple of cool examples: • Use it to reply to an email • Use it in the terminal to autocomplete a command • Use it to finish a document • Use to send a message on Slack AI at the system level is bonkers. You can read a ton more on their Product Hunt launch page: Thanks to the Omnipilot team for collaborating with me on this post!

Sorry to break it to you, but if you think AI can automate all your marketing, you’re probably going to be disappointed. Yes, AI can write your posts. It can create images. It can analyze data. It can even help you build campaigns faster. But faster does not always mean better. AI still needs someone to tell it what matters. It needs someone to understand the customer, choose the right message, and decide what is actually worth creating. Because your goal is not to produce more content. Your goal is to become more visible. You need to know where people are discovering your brand. Are you showing up on Google? Are you being mentioned by ChatGPT and other AI platforms? Are your competitors showing up more often than you? That is where AI becomes useful. Not when it replaces your marketing, but when it helps you see what you could not see before. With you can track your share of visibility across search and AI platforms. You can see where your brand appears, where your competitors are winning, and which topics could help you get mentioned more often. So do not use AI to put your marketing on autopilot. Use it to make better decisions, move faster, and become harder to ignore.

"You can either produce excellence or you can avoid criticism. But you cannot do both of those. The reason that you don't have certain excellence that you want is because you are afraid of getting criticized. You are afraid of the judgment that comes with it. You are afraid of standing out. You are afraid of being alone. You are afraid of people looking at you. You are worried about what people think of you. There are 2 categories of things in this world: 1) Things that are up to you 2) Things that are not up to you Which category does your reputation sit in? Your reputation is not up to you. I'm the one who associates your reputation with something, not you. You just do things. What's up to you? How you act. Your decisions. Your actions. That is up to you. Your reputation is not up to you. Here's how I know that: You all have a reputation about me and it's not in my control. I get to say and do whatever I say and do up here. I am in control of saying it. I am in control of doing it. The moment words leave my lips, who has control over what is done with those words? You! You are in control of what you think of me. And there's no way everybody in this room is going to think the exact same thing about me. No way. When it comes to exceptional, what we've got to understand is you can spend your whole life trying to avoid criticism and earn reputation, and it still won't be in your control. We can waste a lot of time missing out on excellence we could have been producing if we were just simply LESS trying to engineer what we wanted other people to think about us."

Bruce Lee: “Honestly expressing yourself is the hardest thing to do” "To me, ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself. Now, it is very difficult to do. I mean, it's easy for me to put on a show and be cocky and be flooded with a cocky feeling and feel pretty cool. Or I can make all kinds of phony things. Or I can show you some really fancy movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, that, my friend, is very hard to do." Bruce explains the balance between instinct and control: "Here is natural instinct, and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony. If you have one to the extreme, you'll be very unscientific. If you have another to the extreme, you become a mechanical man, no longer a human being. So the ideal is unnatural naturalness, or natural unnaturalness." On why he doesn't believe in fixed styles: "If you do not have styles, if you just say, 'Here I am as a human being, how can I express myself totally and completely?' that way, you won't create a style. Because style is a crystallization. That way is a process of continuing growth." He shares the philosophy behind staying in motion: "The idea is: running water never grows stale. So you've got to just keep on flowing." Bruce explains what true training means: "You have to train. You have to keep your reflexes so that when you want it, it's there. When you want to move, you are moving. And when you move, you are determined to move. Not taking one inch less than that. If I want to punch, I'm going to do it, man. And I'm going to do it." He concludes with his most famous philosophy: "Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

An LLM with native access to find and run agents is a huge thing! This large language model (called ASI:One and developed by Fetch.ai) can do this natively when you show it a problem: • Reason about the problem • Identify live agents and tools that can help solve it • Dynamically invoke these agents and tools Honestly, this is pretty nuts! You don't need to set up anything beforehand. You don't need to write any code. Here is the best part: ASI:One has access to any agent published on Agentverse, an open directory of agents! This gives the model access to *millions* of tools it can execute dynamically when solving a task. Here is a simple example (the one in the attached video): • I went to Google Maps • I copied the latitude and longitude of a location • I asked ASI:One about relevant places around that location • ASI:One went to the marketplace • It identified and called the Google Places agent • It returned a list of museums, restaurants, and landmarks near my location Pretty awesome! You can try this now by going to You don't need to pay or register to test it out. If you want to get ideas of what's possible, check Agentverse, the agent marketplace: The model will have access to all of those tools. This is pretty awesome and opens up a whole new world of possibilities! Thanks to the team for partnering with me on this post!

Failure is a teacher. If you have success, you did it right, so there is probably nothing to learn. But if you have failure, there is something to learn. You have to make the most of your failures. Over time, I developed an instinctual reaction to failure. My instinct now is to view failure as a puzzle that will give me gems if I can solve it. The puzzle is simply this: What would I do differently in the future so as not to have that result? When you solve that puzzle, you write the lesson down. That is where principles come from. #RayDalio #Principles #GrowthMindset #ContinuousLearning

If you want to learn how to break ankles, you have to learn how to shift the weight of your defender, and usually, you have to shift it twice! You’re going to have to make your moves at the right distance and use double jabs! If you make your move too close you’ll get jammed, if you make it too far away, your guy will recover. When you jab one way and go, it can work, but most good defenders can recover from one jab. However, when you double jab, defenders bite hard on the second move and can’t recover from their recovery! Learning to jab with your stutters, skips, your head and shoulders, and even your stick will allow you to shift your defender’s weight! Last, change your angle of approach! The hardest way to beat your guy is straight at him, if you angle left or right then attack you’ll get a natural shade advantage that will open up an opportunity!

Jeff Bezos on the importance of intuition when building something new When Jeff Bezos is trying to figure out where his company should spend its energy and resources, he always goes back to his customer’s needs. “That’s the only way I can advise any founder or entrepreneur,” Jeff explains. “Deeply understand what the big ideas are that their customers want.” One way to understand your customers’ needs is to ask them. But Jeff argues that’s not sufficient: “You have to invent on their behalf. For the biggest breakthroughs and most important ideas, customers don’t know to ask for those things. You have to dream. You have to use your intuition, your gut, and your heart.” This doesn’t mean you don’t look at your data, Jeff caveats: “All of the data that gets used in business is essential. If you’re in business and you’re not looking at your data, trust me, your competitors are going to beat you. But if you’re only looking at your data, you also will not win — or at least not win big.” He continues: “The most important decisions that every person makes when they’re building something new is made with intuition. You cannot prove it, but you have an instinct and a hunch. Then you’ll pay attention — if that instinct turns out to be wrong, it won’t be a big deal. You’ll correct.” Video source: Reuters (2025)
