Personal AI Agents

What it is

Personal AI agents are AI systems that work on behalf of an individual, managing tasks like email, scheduling, research, and personal administration. They learn your preferences, access your accounts, and take actions on your behalf.

Why it matters

Personal agents could handle the administrative burden of modern life. But they also require significant trust—access to email, calendar, financial accounts. The personal agent vision is compelling but raises questions about privacy, security, and how much we want AI managing our lives.
