Instinct AI Assistant Targets $10 Billion Valuation

Spear Street Technology is in talks to secure a $1 billion funding round, which would value the company at an estimated $10 billion, according to a report by The Information on September 15. The startup's AI assistant, Instinct, has already surpassed 100,000 users and offers functions like scheduling and making reservations, similar to other AI tools.

Instinct's CEO, Noah Shinn, stated they do not plan on charging users for the service, suggesting alternative revenue sources like advertising. Early users have utilized the tool for tasks such as planning trips, grocery shopping, and even wedding planning. The company is currently in an invite-only beta program while expanding its computing capabilities.

Research from PYMNTS Intelligence suggests that consumers are increasingly relying on AI for routine daily tasks, indicating a growing trend in the use of AI for personal planning and management.
