Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy · Monday, September 28, 2026
Noah Shinn explains that his personal assistant, Instinct, operates without a traditional application, functioning through text and calls, and even initiating calls for pressing matters. He emphasizes that the simple interface belies its extensive capabilities, allowing it to perform any task an internet user can.
“So we actually don't even have an application. Like this is not a new app. This is not a new tool. It's a new experience.”
“So it has a phone and a computer, so you can text it. You can call it. It can actually call you too.”
“I don't want to confuse the simple interface with limited ability because the whole nature of it is that there shouldn't be any new application needed to be able to interact with AI.”
