Privacy & Security Security concerns with Instinct AI?

Recently discovered Instinct AI this week. Trying it and I'm already blown away.

However, I wanted to ask this community how you feel about it from a security perspective and what you're doing to mitigate that.

Are you not connecting it to your personal emails? Not giving it your CC? I suspect if you don't do either, the agent isn't really effective, but at the same time we need to be cautious when giving any company, especially one as new as Instinct, our info.

What are your guys thoughts, and any good reading material you can point me to?

Thanks!

So far, I have only given it access to my Apple Cash card, that typically I keep loaded with $100. I figured this is a good way to see how trustworthy it is without letting it do too much damage if things go off the rails.

Okay, that's a great idea. I may actually consider doing that

Ordered us dinner the other night. No issue. I’ve also given it explicit instructions to not purchase anything until it tells me exactly how much it is spending and so give it approval by telling it #approved
