Looking for an Instinct alternative?
Instinct showed that an AI assistant can get real things done for you. ASAKAI takes the same idea and adds what we missed: a calm view of your whole day, your own app in English, German and Japanese, and your yes before anything leaves your phone.
| ASAKAI | Instinct | |
|---|---|---|
| How you use it | An iPhone app to control everything: talk or type | Text or call it: iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS, phone |
| Your day | Clear at a glance: your day as a train line, station by station | A conversation thread |
| Before it acts | Shows you a draft and waits for your yes | Built to finish tasks on its own |
| Payments | Never pays. You pay in your own payment app | Can complete purchases with your connected accounts |
| Your logins | Stay with you. Your iPhone does the work, an AI model only sees the request | Kept on its own cloud computer, so it can act for you |
| Access | Private testing, waitlist open | Private access, waitlist |
What stays the same
Like Instinct, Asa remembers what matters to you, writes messages and mails in your words, and handles tables, hotels and errands. The difference is the order: ASAKAI prepares, you decide.
