Crevio vs Instinct: Your errands, or your business

Built to sell, not to run errands.

Instinct is very good at the personal side of life. It calls the dentist, rebooks the flight, and cancels the subscription you forgot about.

Crevio is built for the selling side. It creates your product pages, runs checkout on your own Stripe account, delivers downloads and course access, and follows up with every buyer.

Approvals built around the business.

Instinct acts as your agent, and its Terms authorize it to make transactions on your behalf. Early users reported an email going out without approval and a prompt injection that arrived by email.

You choose which Crevio actions ask first, like spending money, emailing your customers, or issuing a refund. Each bot has its own permissions, and you can roll your site back to any earlier version.

Waiting for your approval

One agent for your life, one for your business.

Plenty of people will use both. Instinct is great at the errands that fill an evening, and it's right there in your messages.

Your business deserves an agent that knows the business. Crevio holds your products, prices, customers, and brand, and runs scheduled work on its own computer.

Every Monday, send me last week's sales and who joined the coaching group.

The short version

Instinct is the fastest-growing personal agent right now, and it's easy to see why. You text it like a person, and it gets the errand done, from a call to the dentist to a cancelled subscription.

Crevio isn't trying to do that. It's an agent for a business. It builds the store, sells through your own Stripe account, sends the marketing, and follows up with customers, asking first before anything that spends money or reaches them.

Which one should you pick?

If you want help with life admin, get an Instinct invite. If you want help making money, meaning selling products, courses, memberships, or your time, pick Crevio.

Questions people ask before choosing
