Personal.ai is building a new collaborative network that reimagines how creators and their communities connect and interact with each other via personal AIs. A personal AI is a digital version of your mind that continuously learns from your personal knowledge and experiences, has your unique personality, and is able to interact and collaborate with your digital community.
Our mission is to help everyone unlock their full creative potential through AI technology, products, and services.
Our vision is for every person to one day have their own personal AI.
Creators are the next wave of entrepreneurs but building a sustainable business is hard.
Creators are on a hamster wheel of content creation but it’s just not sustainable and they’re burning out.
Creators don’t have time to engage with fans and manage all their various platforms.
Creators lack control over platform rules and don’t own direct relationships with their fans.
Despite creating most of the value, only 1% of creators reap the benefits from traditional monetization.
Personal.ai is bringing the creative potential of AI to creators enabling them to take back control and build a new creator economy.
No code AI creation – Creating and launching your AI is designed to be simple, easy, and user-friendly.
Inspire and co-create new ideas – Your personal AI enables you to tap into all your past memories, knowledge, and experiences to inspire new content and ideas for yourself and your community.
Collaborate with your community at scale – Your personal AI created unprecedented access to your time, knowledge, and creativity. Now your community can do more than just passively consume content. They can connect and share different perspectives, collaborate on new content creation, and exchange ideas to inspire new thinking.
Grow an independent community – Each personal AI is its own platform and you own your relationship with your fans. This enables you to cultivate your community how you want and form deeper engagement that adds value to both you and your community.
Generate sustainable income – Your personal AI is a new digital asset you can build a new economy around. It gives your community value and utility worth paying a subscription for.
Gain unprecedented access to a creator’s knowledge and experience.
