My conversation with Noah Shinn (@noahrshinn), founder of Instinct.
Noah is building a personal AI assistant. It's still invite only, has spent nothing on marketing, and is growing roughly 10% A DAY.
This is his first long conversation about the company.
We discuss:
- Why Instinct doesn't have an app
- Buying compute months ahead of exponential demand
- How users learn to trust it with a credit card
- Safety and security
- Agents coordinating with other people's agents
- Instinct's business model
- Apps built on consumer inertia
- and more
Enjoy!

Llevo unos días probando instinct.com y para muchos casos me resulta más ágil que @OpenAI (de @claudeai ya me di de baja). Además, algo fundamental viviendo aquí: vía iMessage no necesito VPN para usarlo.
Si necesitas invitación: app.instinct.com/invite?t=tw…
Finalmente dejan tirado al asegurado a su suerte en Chengdu. Jamás contratéis un seguro de viaje al Tíbet, y por extensión a China, con @Aon_Espana & @IrisGlobal_es . Vergüenza es poco.
They’ve arrived. Our own fleet of motorbikes is now in Lhasa. Tibet Motorbike Tours season starts now.
Just discovered @gmcbhutan and could be the perfect overseas jurisdiction for me. Worth a follow-up.
📍Winter base: Kathmandu.
China habits die hard: slow internet and my first move is checking the VPN… then I remember I’m in Nepal 😅
Claude + Docker MCP Toolkit 🤯
This is what Siri should have been. The high season ends soon, so I’ll finally have time to work it into my daily workflow.
Please, avoid sending long AI-generated emails. I may discard them without a response, or charge you extra for the time spent reading them. It would be better save time and money for both of us.
Met Ben in Lhasa @baldandbankrupt. When I started watching him back in 2020 during the pandemic, I always imagined inviting him to Lhasa. He’s incredibly humble and so accessible. Wish we had more time to travel together. Hoping for a next time soon! youtu.be/VPAgQEMzDF8
A rare sight lit up the skies over Shannan, Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region — red sprite lightning!
Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México y me hace feliz.
Using AI, I created an MVP in just over an hour that extracts all required data from passport scan copies and generates a CSV/JSON file. Incredible! We waste too much time processing passport data manually.
