What the Customer Discovery Agent does
Instinct is built for standing work like this - set it once, then it runs on your word. It turns interview notes into structured evidence themes: quote, theme, contradiction and follow-up question per interview, without inventing validation.
Discovery value leaks between the interview and the write-up. This assistant structures every interview into quotes, themes and contradictions the same day, and keeps the running synthesis honest with the evidence attached. Your next update says what customers said - with the quotes to back it.
