Instinct: a practical decision dossier

Before you start

• Check current account access, plan and task requirements.

When to consider it

Treat it as an exploration candidate while access, controls and pricing remain open questions. Start with a deliberately narrow context set.

Important boundary

Public introductory material is thin. The site’s examples are not proof of completion, availability or memory portability.

Questions before committing

1. Which context sources are optional and revocable?
2. Can retained context be inspected, corrected, deleted and exported?

A useful acceptance task

Give the candidate one read-only task with fixed input, a clear expected output and an explicit stop condition. Save the input, returned evidence, elapsed time and any human intervention. Repeat after a new session; assess observed behavior, not a polished demo.

Evidence and limits
