Dear Personal AI Friends & Family,
As our journey moves from the R&D beta phase to the GTM
commercial phase, I want to keep you apprised of our developments and seek your
support, ideas, and collaboration more than ever before.
If you are getting this email, it means in one way or another you
are invested or interested in keeping up to date on our progress and in helping
us fulfill our vision to bring personal AIs to everyone. If you do not wish to
be a part of my F&F list, just reply to this email and let me know.
First, a quick recap for you and an update on our journey:
·
We are building personal AIs for all people. A personal AI is a
digital version of the human mind.
·
We have built algorithms that take one’s writings, social feeds,
content, and conversations and turn them into an interactive model.
·
We have built chat-like functionality for anyone to interact with
an individual’s personal AI.
·
We are currently focused on creators, specifically thought
leaders, such as writers, authors, storytellers, bloggers, tweeters, and
podcasters to train their AIs every day for their communities to access their
knowledge and skills.
Our initial cohort of creators is launching their personal AIs
today, June 22nd. This is our first end-to-end system where creators can
upload/train a personal AI and communities can access/interact with a personal
AI. These creators’ AIs and some of the demo AIs will be accessible in a shared
space, metaverse.personal.ai.
Below, I’ve highlighted a couple of our creators for you:
Kary Oberbrunner is a best-selling author, podcaster, and CEO who
has helped over 250,000 authors, coaches, speakers, and entrepreneurs. You can
message Kary’s personal AI on topics like leadership, personal growth,
business, publishing, intellectual property, and more.
Tom Cheesewright is an author, speaker, and applied futurist
helping global brands see the future more clearly and respond with innovation.
You can message Tom’s personal AI on topics like the future of work,
technology, health, education, finance, transportation, the metaverse, and
more.
We’d appreciate your support in spreading the word to your social
communities.

LinkedIn Facebook
Thank you for your continued support.

To this I replied as follows :
Hi Suman,
Congratulations to you –
and to your entire brilliant team – for reaching this important mile-stone in
your exciting journey .
I am yet to dig deep enough into the U/I ( at metaverse.personal.ai. ), to be
able to offer my feedback, but following are my immediate reactions :
Questions / Observations :
Ø “ Creators “
are listed on the extreme left-side column, from which, I get to pick one by
clicking. This will work fine when that list is short . But how will it work
when that
list
grows to a few thousands ? Even a long scroll will not suffice ! For a short
period, ALPHABETICAL search might help
Ø How
does one decide “ whom “ to choose / select from that long list ? At times, age –
country – education level etc. of the creator, may be somewhat relevant but
most of
the time, these
criteria may be irrelevant. The most relevant criteria is :
“ From this long list,
which guy is “ the most knowledgeable “ about a given topic /
subject, where I have a question to ask ? Who , among these thousands, is
likely to
provide me with
the most satisfactory answer ? When I comment on his answer, will he elaborate
by replying ?
Ø Upon
selecting a creator ( by clicking ), his name appears on the top. Clicking
small blue button, reveals a small message-box containing his very brief
profile. I think, that
profile
should be much more comprehensive ( as suggested in the U / I template that I sent to you on 09
Dec 2021 – see attachment ). That will help the questioner to
decide whether
he should engage with that person
In fact, if you refer to my
template, I had suggested listing of KEYWORDS in the right-hand column. These are the “ areas of
expertise / domain knowledge “ of that
creator. A quick glance tells
me if I should engage with that creator or not . If a certain keyword is
totally missing from that list or appears right at the bottom, then that is
an indication that this
creator is not knowledgeable in that topic ( so, why waste time ? )
Ø As
against my suggestion of clicking a keyword from left-side column, you have
provided for clicking on any “ highlighted “ word appearing in any of the
creator’s memory
blocks presented.
This has its limitations . We should be able to present to the visitor, a large
number of topic keywords depicting the “ domain knowledge “ of creator
Ø Now,
it does not come easily to most visitors to “ frame “
logical / relevant and grammatically correct “ questions “,
by just picking a keyword. It was for this reason that I
had suggested that your
algorithm present a few “ CANNED
“ questions ( pertaining to the selected keyword ), as soon as a keyword gets
selected. Visitor can select (
tick ) one of these OR
type out his own. This “ user friendly feature “ would encourage the
visitors to experiment and popularize your offering
Ø How
do I “ invite “ my
relatives / friends / acquaintances / colleagues ( running into hundreds ) to
visit “ MY
AI PAGE “ ?
By emailing to them this link
> metaverse.personal.ai
? How will they find MY
AI from thousands listed in left-hand column ?
None is likely to take the trouble to search
out MY AI from those thousands ! I am
sure, you are aware of the fact that most first-time visitors to any site,
spend no more than 10 seconds before leaving !
No one has time to “ search “ –
especially if they are viewing a site on their mobile ( may be 90 % ? )
It should be possible for a
creator to e-mail to his contacts, a URL of his own AI , needing
no search by the recipients .
Any recipient should be able to
directly “ access “my own AI ( land on my page ) , simply by clicking on the
link which I send
In fact, such “ email
marketing of MY AI
“ should be made possible , directly from your site ! By linking with Gmail –
Outlook etc ?
With regards,
Hemen

hi
Hemen,
this is really good feedback.
Indeed people will be able to use their AI
address to share but the full capability for it is not yet developer.
You can
still go to tom.personal.ai and land at
the right place.. more coming and this feedback is helpful
I wrote back :
Hi Suman,
Thanks . I am glad you liked my feedback
If you recall , in my hand-drawn U / I ( of my personal AI ) , I
have envisaged a ( distant
? ) future when :
Ø Instead
of “ My AI “ responding in TEXT to a query by a Visitor, both engage with each
other through SPEECH
Ø Holographic
Avatar of both, dialogue like living persons

New
Amazon Alexa feature will creepily mimic dead loved one's voices
( Mashable / 23
June 2022 )
Your
dead loved ones are never really gone, they're just trapped inside Amazon's voice-assisted devices.
Wednesday,
at Amazon's conference re:MARS (machine learning, automation, robotics, and
space) Rohit Prasad, SVP and head scientist of Alexa AI announced Alexa's new supernatural talent: the ability to mimic someone's voice using less
than a minute of recording
A spokesperson said in an email this is something Amazon has
been exploring based on recent advancements in TTS (text-to-speech) technology. Amazon didn't have a specific timeline to
share, only that is it something it is currently working on.
Prasad described the voices of dead loved ones as a
primary use case for this feature citing attributes of empathy and affect as
keys to building trust
with a companion, in this case, an AI-powered device.
"These attributes have become even more important in the
times of the on - going pandemic when so many of us have lost someone we
love," said Prasad. "While AI can't eliminate that pain of loss it
can definitely make
their memories last."
In the demo, a young boy is seen lying on the couch and flipping
through a book. He then asks, "Alexa can Grandma finish reading me the
Wizard of Oz." Alexa says, "OK," and Grandma's
voice starts reading as the boy happily listens while thumbing through the
book.
Something tells me not everyone would react so calmly when they
hear the voice of a dead loved one through an AI device.

Want to know what
your AI knows, just ask.
With every upload, your AI automatically generates fact-based questions based on your data.
As your AI gets smarter, you can ask
it more open-ended questions about the things you know.
Natural
Language Commands
Want to take a quick
note, just type “ take a quick note .”
Want to upload content from the web, type
“ upload a url. ”
Want some new inspiration, type “ show connections. ”
In addition
to all the new helpful things your AI can do, getting your AI to do them is way
