Link balance lets users allocate funds that an AI agent can spend autonomously, with user-set amounts and limits. Cited use cases include buying concert tickets while asleep, purchasing shoes when prices drop, and ordering a full shopping list from a single prompt. The feature is rolling out to Instinct users in eligible US regions. Link said it is working to expand availability and will share updates via official channels, but gave no timeline for Europe.
