To charge nothing, Instinct would either have to sell users' data (non-starter, I would hope) or introduce ads. But the main reason Instinct has such a nice UX is that it's fully native to iMessage/WhatsApp. I struggle to see how/where they'll introduce ads within this medium. 1.4K views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

I think this is correct, and yet, the larger (more important, imo) paradigm shift is that AI makes building runtime software much cheaper.
