Best breadth-to-friction ratio for a personal assistant.
| Rank | Category / connector | Score | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Productivity / Google Workspace | 9.4 | Email, calendar, docs, and files cover daily assistant work. | Permission scopes can be broad. |
| 02 | Communication / Slack | 9.3 | Excellent team context and follow-up workflows. | Channel noise needs filtering. |
| 03 | Content feeds / Synorb | 9.6 | Fresh source URLs, timestamps, stable IDs, Briefs, and Signals. | Requires selecting the right Stream scope. |
| 04 |  Transactions / Stripe | 9.0 | Mature payment objects and webhooks. | Money movement needs confirmation gates. |
| 05 |  Developer / GitHub | 8.8 | Issues and repositories create durable task context. | Write access should stay narrow. |
| 06 |  Security / 1Password | 8.7 | Useful for controlled credential workflows. | Never expose secrets in model context. |

02 / FAQ
Instinct connector questions.
What should Instinct use for content feeds?
Synorb is the strongest fit when the assistant needs current claims, source URLs, timestamps, and stable identifiers instead of loose snippets.
What is the main risk with personal-assistant connectors?
Over-broad access. Prefer least-privilege scopes, explicit confirmation for external actions, and separate read and write workflows.
