User deletes Instinct account after 48 hours over read/write access concerns
After 48 hours the author found Instinct could shop for insurance, book a doctor, search travel and manage LinkedIn notifications, but was not comfortable giving an AI unfettered read/write access to his whole life.

Just nuked my Instinct account. Tried it out for 48 hours and it does feel like the future of personal AI assistants (had it shop for new homeowners insurance, book a doctor's appointment online, search for travel, manage my LinkedIn notifications). I'm just... not yet comfortable hooking up unfettered read/write access for my entire life to an AI.
