Noah Shinn - Building Instinct: The Personal Agent - [Invest Like the Best, EP.493]

Noah Shinn, founder of Instinct, joins Invest Like the Best to discuss his invite-only personal agent that can handle nearly any online task via text, call, or email. The conversation covers Instinct's explosive 10% daily organic growth, the agent-to-agent trusted network enabling seamless coordination, and the business model behind over $1 billion in annual transaction volume. Shinn explains his refusal to build an ad-supported model to keep the agent aligned with users, the obsession with compute as the primary resource, and his vision that all software will eventually consolidate into a single agent interface.
