Instinct

Instinct and Meta's Muse AI assistants both rolled out phone-calling capabilities on September 16, 2026, letting agents book restaurants, manage service calls, and act as a concierge. Instinct is reportedly in talks to raise $1 billion at a $10 billion valuation.

Instinct, the AI assistant startup valued at $2.5 billion, announced that every user now gets a dedicated Instinct email address, letting the agent create accounts, contact businesses, and handle email-based tasks without cluttering users' inboxes. The feature builds on recent partnerships with 1Password for logins and Stripe for payments.
