About Personal.ai

Connecting humans
to advance humankind

We are a collective of entrepreneurs, technologists, creatives, and scientists who are passionate about building ethical, equitable, and unbiased AI that improves human lives. We believe in the power of Personal AI to enable continuous connection while prioritizing trust, transparency, and individual ownership.
