How Does Instinct Plan a Night and One Uber?
Noah Shinn says six friends on Instinct's Trusted Network share one Uber after Instinct plans the night and the pickup route.
The usual version is a chore. Every Thursday someone invents a Saturday plan, texts the group, and the plan falls apart when one person says no. A friend group instead has Instinct brainstorm a fresh idea every week, then match a time when everyone is free, note what they like or dislike, and pick shows or concerts from music taste in connected Spotify history. In a group of six, one person ordered an Uber. Instinct sent the same car to all six, with one pickup in 10 minutes and another in five minutes, and chose the optimal route. The friends share the ride, which he calls economically friendly.
Trusted Network is the part of Instinct where people invent uses, because calendars, tastes, and rides can move without the back-and-forth that usually kills a plan.
