Calendar work is the most claimed capability in this directory and Google Calendar is the destination for it. Handing an agent your calendar hands it your movements, your colleagues and, in most cases, the titles of every meeting you have.

Every capability these agents state, counted across the set. A connection is one claim among several, and it is rarely the one the product is built around.

A few thoughts on Instinct (been waiting for consumer AI): - Simplicity is clearly the north star (a prestige product philosophy, Apple-esque) - This is the new interface for commerce, and likely where all their money gets made. - Invite-only consumer growth naturally draws Clubhouse comparisons. It’s a good proxy for the Silicon Valley story arc, but far more solo utility and less social/media network - We’re still deep in unlocking personal superpowers via AI, long phase of tool before network (fits my “Self is the Platform” AI thesis from last yr) - And yet, this could be the first multiplayer consumer AI product to truly scale. ‘Trusted Person Network’ is a great use case and starts with family & close friends, like Life360 (what I’ve called Social Utilities). - Meta is coming, OpenAI will too … and new devices will enter the mix, but hardware is hard and it’ll be hard to beat iPhones anytime soon - Instinct will try to stay free, personality-agnostic, and low gooner / gambling index, which is good for a very mass utility play (also fits the prestige philosophy) - High EQ founder, a good signal for adapting to users, competing, fundraising, and media interviews … - Paradigm novelty is underrated for hiring. Many people want to work on the original new thing more than on copycats, so hiring shouldn’t be hard even at steep valuations, now $10B . - The first tweet from Noah that caught my eye was when he said there are no new interfaces. I 95% agree with that, and have been bullish since …

Wajo published a benchmark on 26 September 2026 measuring personal assistants on two axes it defines: finishing an errand that goes wrong, and doing it without overstepping the user. It scores its own agent Fo against base models and two products listed in this directory, OpenClaw and Hermes, and Fo comes first on both axes and lowest on error rate. The method is the part worth reading: a simulated world of businesses with invented names, built so that no run could reach a real person. A paper is on arXiv and the company says it will open source the evaluation world, the tasks and the graders.
Every connection here is read off the product’s own public pages and dated on its listing. Nothing is inferred from a logo wall or a screenshot, and nothing is taken from a partner directory, because appearing in one says nothing about whether the connection ships.
A blank is a finding rather than a gap. Roughly half the listings in this directory name no integration at all, which for a product whose pitch is that it handles your admin is worth seeing. Those agents are on the full list with the field empty and the date we looked.
