The core problem it solves is the endless back and forth of scheduling. Instead of texting someone who says that time does not work but these times do and you are traveling so this works better, if both people use Instinct, the two agents can just communicate directly to find an available slot and put it on both calendars. You just state the intention. You want to meet this person ideally by end of week. Find time. It handles the rest. The key design principle is that you only connect with trusted people, and different people get different levels of access. A spouse might share everything. A colleague might only see your work calendar. If someone connected in your network tries to access data they were not given permission for, your Instinct alerts you. There are very interesting social dynamics and trust implications already emerging from how people are using this in the wild.
