Happy Hump Day! In today’s digest, I’m covering a new AI app that aims to be a second you by using large personal models to create a second memory. But first…
The headlines:
🧑⚖️ X plans to sue Unilever and Mars over an alleged advertising boycott.
🗣️ Former Clubhouse employees are launching their own social app.
✍️ The company behind WordPress has launched a new AI writing tool.
This AI app wants to become a second version of you
“Everyone deserves an AI that’s defined by them and not by Big Brother.” These are the words of Felix Tao, a Software Engineer, Research Assistant, and CEO of Mindverse, after he and his team launched Me bot — an AI assistant that learns from and develops alongside you.
It’s designed to be a personalized life coach and companion that evolves through your thoughts and ideas. At its most basic, Me bot can help you with all of your daily tasks. You can drop in things like your to-dos and meeting schedule, and it will provide context and reminders as deadlines loom. You can interact with the bot through voice, text, images, and links.
It starts to get interesting the more you share about your life, your challenges, your success, the areas you need help with. The AI uses what the company calls a “Large Personal Model” to create a memory archive and power its personality. That memory archive will serve as the basis to its growth. As you drop in notes, Me bot will be able to connect the dots by tapping into that archive and creating connections you might not have seen before.
Say you had an idea for a podcast. Drop it into the app, and your AI companion will make the connection between that idea and maybe some topics you’ve leaned heavily into before while also advising you on how to get started, what equipment you might need, how to market it, etc.
Naturally, if you’re going to be dropping in all of your notes, thoughts, and secrets, you’re going to want to make sure it’s private. Thankfully, the team insists the AI is one hundred percent private and accessible only to you. If you want to try it out, Me bot is available now on both iOS and Android.
