How it connects
How Genie connects to Instinct
Instinct reads Genie’s agent instructions at the HTTP assistant guide, checks the advertised endpoints, and starts callback-free pairing. It sends the sign-in link and matching request details in your existing conversation; no local callback or pasted token is needed.
From then on, anything you text or say to Instinct about money goes through Genie, within the rules you set in your Genie account.
Before you start
What to have ready
- A Genie account. Create one if you have not.
- Instinct on your phone, and the number or thread you already text it on.

What happens next
Instinct asks Genie; Genie decides. What Instinct may spend is set in your Genie account under Policies, not in Instinct.
When a payment needs your approval, Genie asks you in your Genie account, never in the Instinct thread.
To disconnect: Text Instinct “Remove the Genie connector”, or choose Disconnect on Instinct under Account → Agents in Genie.
