Kwaai is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. We are a volunteer based, open source AI research and development lab focused on democratizing artificial intelligence by building a Personal AI. We center our efforts around the principals of personal control, self-sovereign identity, transparency and openness.

AI’s exponential growth entails significant risk of a dystopian outcome.

• Personal disempowerment

• Monopolization

AI can subjugate us. Not in the manner described in the AI doomer click bait prophecies but weaponized in the arsenal of big business.

Our data has been mined since commerce developed on the Internet. Our digital personas, captured in data silos of large brands, are used to target us for advertising of their products and services. This trillion dollar industry is a dumb waste of resources. Your digital persona extracted by cookies, pixels, and other spyware is inaccurate and out of date. That is why you receive ads for a product eavesdropped from a conversation or offers from a product that you've already purchased. Why can't they simply ask me what I need? Personal AI can help.

In the Kwaai Manifesto, we acknowledge the once in a generation leap forward in AI but question "what could possibly go wrong?"

• Monopolization leads to brittleness and fragility in the economy

• Threat to Employment

• Threat to Competition

• Threat to Climate

What can we do to make a difference?

We need a grass-roots, volunteer, open-source movement to resist the oligopoly that’s concentrating wealth and disempowering individuals.

To democratize Artificial Intelligence through Personal AI. Tagline: AI - Now it's Personal

• Developing Personal AI Operating System that will allow you to OWN YOUR OWN AI.

• Researching Fundamental AI to make models smarter, faster, and greener.

• Drafting Policy  for safer and more humane outcomes.

Vision of Personal AI

Imagine an assistant that you own,

That you can talk to, that knows you,

That can make you a better you.

Amplified rather than Artificial Intelligence.

The problem hinges on Who Owns Your AI?

If corporations continue to mine your private data to train their models to better monetize you,

Or your employer trains a co-pilot on your past work output?

Then you’ll likely end up devalued, poorer, and less employable.

How do we build Personal AI?

Trained on our latest personal experience

Secure, private with revocable entitlements for 3rd party access

That can run locally without a SaaS toll

How do employ AI technology in our favor?

Kwaai is building a Personal AI Operating System that you can

• refine and augment on you own personal data

• maintain your data securely through a self-sovereign trust layer

• run locally on your own machine (with no network connection) or in the cloud

• repatriate (download your personal data from 3rd party services) 

• talk to your data using natural language

• grant and revoke targeted entitlements for 3rd party access to securely query your data

Personal AI (PAI) is a technology that leverages your own data to enhance your daily life and interactions. We give you the tools to refine AI with your own data, resulting in an augmented intelligence, uniquely tailored to you. The Personal AI Operating System (PAI OS) is a comprehensive set of user interfaces, systems, and services on which PAIs run to support your goals.

Kwaai's Personal AI (PAI) stands out as an open-source, individually operated AI assistant, utilizing private data for self-governance. It creates a Personal Knowledge Model to enhance your decision-making and effectiveness. This tool is designed with a focus on your interests and economic empowerment, unlike centralized services that prioritize monetization goals of vendors.
