Instinct, an AI assistant, has introduced a dedicated email address feature so it can handle email-based tasks on a user’s behalf. The assistant can create and run its own account without going through a user’s mailbox, and can sign up for services, manage accounts and contact businesses. Users can forward emails such as order confirmations for returns. Instinct can also track long email threads and summarise remaining decisions, schedules and follow-ups.

Tving suffered a hacking incident that leaked information on 39.54 million user accounts, effectively all accounts on the platform, an investigation team said on Wednesday. Attackers stole a developer access key, penetrated the development environment and then accessed production systems to extract personal data. Leaked data included IDs, encrypted passwords and other personal information, while 361 development projects containing source code were also taken. No confirmed misuse has been found so far.
