Instinct Gives Users AI Email Addresses for Autonomous Account Management at $2.5 Billion Valuation

1 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Sep 9

Instinct is issuing dedicated email addresses to users so its AI assistant can create accounts, contact businesses and manage follow-ups without using customers’ personal inboxes.
The feature is meant to remove a common handoff point in task automation, letting the bot sign up for services or handle requests that require email while checking back only when user input is needed.
Users can also forward order confirmations or add Instinct to group threads, allowing it to process returns, track discussions and surface pending decisions or deadlines from long email chains.
The rollout extends Instinct’s push toward fuller autonomy after recent tie-ups with 1Password for logins and Stripe for payments, plus a location-sharing tool for nearby recommendations and travel planning.
