Instinct and Muse Now Make Phone Calls for You

Instinct Concierge and Meta Muse added phone-calling features on the same day. The agent calls a restaurant, a doctor's office, or customer support and handles the task without the user's involvement.

Instinct Concierge and Meta Muse added calling features on the same day. The agent calls a company directly and handles the task for the user. Covered scenarios include restaurants with no online booking, a doctor's office waiting list, and canceling a cable subscription. Muse was downloaded 730,000 times in the United States after launch and reached second place in the app store rankings.

Instinct raised $350 million in August at a $2.5 billion valuation and is currently in talks for a round at $10 billion. I have long seen the phone channel as a gap in agent pipelines. Where there is no API or online form, the agent simply could not reach the task before.
