Built Between Bedtimes – Episode 43: Two Hole-in-Ones in One Round, AI Can Run Your Business Through a Text, and a $5,400 Property Management Disaster

So I want to hear more about Dylan.

You were mentioning instinct.

Oh yeah.

Um, so yeah, going down to San Francisco, you get to kind of relive the glory days of, I lived in San Francisco for about seven years.

And so, um, I met up with my buddy who's got this cool company, makes a bunch of stuff.

And he taught me, he told me about this app called Instinct.

And so this weekend or maybe last week, Meta dropped their Muse AI.

They dropped new wearable stuff.

They dropped like audio only Ray-Bans and some other cool stuff.

But even before that, at the conference, my buddy told me about Instinct.

And it's this really cool thing where you basically...

It's not an app.

You just text it.

And you can text it whatever you want it to be.

Through

iMessage or WhatsApp?

Through iMessage or WhatsApp.

Okay.

And basically the only thing it can't do... sort of is make calls.

But the first thing I had to do was I had to go into my payroll system, figure out who was getting paid on not quite the right payment terms, tell me who those people were, propose the changes, and then actually make the changes.

And I just did that via like, I don't know, 50 words and it's just like it knew what to do

and like knew what i was doing so it was and you had to give it the login and password

yeah so they send you a link kind of like putting your password into like a one password or like last pass where it's like 256 gig or whatever encrypted and then I've also chatted with it and be like okay what are your security protocols and it's like I spin up a browser I log into the thing when you tell when if you don't need anymore I delete the browser so it all disappears and And I was like, well, okay, what if I want to get out? And it's like, if you said, I don't want to use Instinct anymore, all of your data, all of your passwords, everything would be deleted in an hour.

I was like, okay.

Cause all this sounds entirely freaky.
