  • account access
  • charge details

Safer workflow

  1. Specify the result you want and any conditions the agent must not change.
  2. Ask Instinct to research or prepare first, then pause before a payment, cancellation, or other consequential action.
  3. Before approving, check the amount, recipient, dates, policy, and sensitive details.
  4. Afterward, confirm the result in the original service or account.

How to verify completion

A verified payment confirmation showing the correct payee, amount, date, and reference.

For payments, bookings, accounts, and messages, use the provider's record rather than the agent's completion message as the final confirmation.

Suggested request

Prepare this bill payment and show me the payee, amount, due date, fees, and funding source. Ask for confirmation immediately before submitting payment.

Expected outcome

A verified payment confirmation showing the correct payee, amount, date, and reference.
