Viral AI assistant Instinct now has email capabilities, enabling the agent to create accounts, manage communications, and handle support requests on behalf of users.

Instinct's latest feature grants the AI assistant the ability to send and receive emails, expanding its scope beyond conversational tasks. The email functionality allows Instinct to create new email accounts, contact businesses, and manage customer support interactions independently. The addition positions Instinct as a more autonomous agent capable of handling administrative work typically requiring human intervention. Users can delegate email-based tasks to the assistant, which can act as an intermediary between them and businesses or service providers. Instinct has gained significant traction as a viral AI tool, competing in a crowded market of AI assistants. The email integration represents a step toward more practical, real-world applications beyond chat-based interactions. The feature's rollout details and limitations remain unclear, including whether all users have immediate access or if it's being deployed gradually.
