New assistant era 0:00
AI has shifted fast in the last few weeks. The old use case was a chatbot that answered questions. Now there are assistants that sit inside messages, watch your activity, and act on it for you.
Agents doing errands 1:00
An example is Instinct, which works through iMessage and a phone number instead of another app. After you authorize access to Gmail and Google Drive, it can flag missed DocuSign requests, track a prescription, change flights, book hard-to-get restaurant tables, and share plans with other friends' assistants.
Trying the assistants 14:01
Muse is easy to try because it is already high in the app store. ChatGPT on the phone is also available if you pay for it, while Instinct is still invite only. Gro is described as more technical and not yet the best model.
Calling the bot 14:30
A bot can give you a phone number, so you can call it like a person. The example here answers questions about a podcast session, says it can handle follow-up tasks, and does not use up AI credits when you call it.
