Early user details weeks with Instinct agent: a screenshot and an arrow was the whole brief
thisiskp_ · x · 2026-09-07
An early user shares real-world use of the Instinct agent, where the entire brief for a website change was a screenshot with a red arrow — shipped live minutes later.
Over a few weeks it also:
- Rebuilt and deployed site sections, backing everything up to his own GitHub so it survives the tool
- Found 4 forgotten subscriptions and cancelled them ($300/yr saved), and spotted a "$29 lifetime deal" masquerading as a subscription
- Screened 9 applicants for a household hire, scheduled calls, and sent declines
- Dug a flight confirmation out of his inbox and now monitors schedule changes and check-in windows
- Texts his kid's school lunch menu every night unprompted
- Owned a stats error in an X audit when called out, and fixed the analysis
He argues the difference from chatbots: it operates in real accounts, remembers context across weeks, and messages him proactively instead of waiting for a prompt. Not sponsored.
