When AI suggests, timing matters: Instinct's curated picks miss the mark

Instinct is rolling out human-curated product and travel picks, but some users are bristling at suggestions they never requested.

The brands that treat AI discoverability as a measurable discipline will be the ones that keep their competitive edge. Ignoring this now is a risk no dashboard can capture.
