It's interesting how these AI assistants communicate directly via text messages within their specialized areas. In particular, Instinct assigns a separate email address to create accounts and interact on behalf of users, greatly expanding the possibilities for work automation. However, I'm curious about how security and privacy issues arising from such high autonomy will be addressed. It would be helpful if more user experiences regarding the intuitiveness and reliability of the actual messaging interface are made public.
