RuntimeWire reports that Instinct is working on Agent Phone, described by Jane Manchun Wong as giving an agent its own dedicated phone number.
What happenedRyan Merket's report attributes the development to Wong's October 29 post on X. The report says Instinct has not detailed what the number will do, who will get access or when it will ship. It distinguishes the reported dedicated number from the assistant's existing ability to place calls.
Why it mattersA number dedicated to an assistant could change how people or businesses reach it. That is a possibility to watch, not a confirmed new way to contact your Instinct. This story does not establish incoming-call handling, number portability or availability in Malaysia or Singapore.
Evidence limitsThis is a secondary report based on one cited social thread. The primary X post could not be read directly during this pass, and there is no verified product announcement or rollout date. Do not change contact details or expect the feature to be enabled based on this report.
