I asked Instinct to plan 2 trips for me — and it sucked all the joy out of traveling - Business Insider

Haylea Rossi and her family live in an RV full time. The view from Haylea Rossi's bedroom is constantly changing. Sometimes, she can see snowy mountains.

Instinct users flagged unsolicited shopping recommendations, raising questions about how personal AI agents will monetize their platforms. If Instinct has suddenly texted you a shopping list you never asked for, you're not alone. Three early users, among dozens of X users, told Business Insider that the personal AI agent sent them unsolicited product recommendations based on details from earlier conversations. Shruti Gandhi, a general partner and founding engineer at AI-focused venture firm Array Ventures, said Instinct sent her a shopping list despite not requesting one. "I didn't ask for anything," Gandhi told Business Insider, adding that the agent knew she had a trip coming up. Screenshots Gandhi shared on X show Instinct using details about her upcoming conference and keynote to create a five-item list, including a $250.75 carry-on suitcase, sunscreen, and a power bank. The recommendations — reviewed by Business Insider — come as Instinct expanded its shopping tools through a Shopify partnership and began rolling out Instinct Selections, a feature that Shinn says draws on recommendations curated by chefs, designers, architects, and local guides.
