Instinct vs ChatGPT Work: Closing the Autonomy Gap
pitdesi · x · 2026-08-21
The author compares Instinct and ChatGPT Work, highlighting Instinct's ability to fully close the loop on tasks:
- Doctor Appointment: Work suggested doctors and numbers but asked for availability and contact info it already had access to. Instinct pre-filled insurance info and had the clinic call back.
- Flight Booking: Work redirected to Google Flights or the United login page. Instinct scanned emails for United credits and booked the flight via text, bypassing the manual login.
The key difference is Instinct's willingness to take the extra step to "complete" the task rather than just "guide" the user.
