Personal AI allows anyone to create a digital twin of themselves using AI.

I recently had a call with the founder, Suman Kanuganti.

What they're building blew my mind: Image
1/ First off, who is Suman Kanuganti @SumanPersonalAI?

He was born in India and got his masters in America.

Previously founded Aira, where he used AI and AR to change lives for blind and low-vision communities.

Now he's on a mission to reinvent messaging with Personal AI: Image
@SumanPersonalAI 2/ What is Personal AI @PersonalAI_?

While ChatGPT (170B parameters) is trained on internet data, Personal AI (120M parameters) is trained on individual user data.

In simple terms: It's like having a digital chatbot twin that is trained on YOUR thoughts and opinions. Image

Regular ChatGPT generated text is generic and unimpressive.

Many people don't know this, but you can train ChatGPT to write exactly like you.

Here's how to do it in six easy steps:
Step 1: Collect some samples of your writing.

You can use emails, documents, essays, or anything else you've written.

The KEY is to use your best writing pieces. ChatGPT will learn it.
Step 2: Open ChatGPT and use this prompt.

This tells ChatGPT that the following prompts will be for learning your writing.

You can copy the entire prompt in the image's ALT text below. I’m going to provide you wi...
