Instinct Launches AI-Powered Product Recommendations
Instinct debuts Instinct Selections, pushing curated suggestions in dining, travel, and shopping, but some users report unsolicited recommendations.
Instinct has launched a new feature called Instinct Selections that pushes product recommendations to users in areas such as dining, travel, and shopping. Founder Noah Shinn announced the debut on Tuesday.
The company is partnering with local chefs, designers, architects, and travel guides to offer human-curated suggestions. This approach aims to blend AI with human expertise.
However, some users have publicly complained about receiving unsolicited product recommendations, raising questions about user consent and personalization.
In a recent podcast, Shinn said the platform handles nearly a billion dollars in annual transactions, with over 50% travel-related. Instinct recently confirmed a $1 billion Series C funding round at a $10 billion valuation.
