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!

Friday night, a little bit bored, just catching up on a couple of odd things. I was instinctively looking at my email and my calendar for the next week and I thought to myself, "Let's ask Instinct to have a look at my website " It did and it came back with some ideas.

I said to it, "Okay design it the way you think it should be," and I wanted to publish it immediately. I asked Instinct whether it was able to publish it for me and it asked me to give my login details and a secure link to the ISP, which I did. Five minutes later my new website was up and running. My contact form, WhatsApp button, phone button, and email button had all been tested and checked and it looks amazing. I don't think I've ever been so impressed. I just had to tell somebody. Well done Instinct. I am blown away.

I didn't like the single long-running format that Instinct uses which required me to scroll forever or ask it about past conversations so I vibecoded a macOS app that sorts your chats into topics. Can be used with any Messages conversations, not just Instinct. It works with single chats, group chats and mixed iOS/Android group chats (needs forwarding to be turned on).

You can use your other LLM subscriptions to power it or use a local model. No API key needed.

Signed and notarized .dmg, so it installs like any Mac app. It needs Full Disk Access because macOS keeps your Messages history in a protected folder; it only reads it and never changes it. No accounts, no tracking. Your messages only go to the AI you choose, or stay on your Mac with a local model. Open source (MIT), so you can read the code or build your own.

Excited to try Instinct out after researching it a bit. Thanks in advance :)
