Individual AI for All!
For years, AI felt like something that lived “out there” — in data centers, in recommendation engines, in mysterious black boxes only big tech really understood. Then generative AI arrived, and suddenly it was in our browsers, our group chats, and our workflows.
Now we’re entering the next shift: from general-purpose AI to Individual AI — systems that are trained on you: your work, your stories, your decisions, your values.
And whether you’re ready or not, the odds are high that you’ll eventually have one.
From one-size-fits-all to “just for me”
In 2024, McKinsey reported that 65% of organizations were already using generative AI regularly, nearly double the share from just ten months earlier. That wave of adoption has mostly been about generic copilots and assistants.
But generic only gets you so far.
Creators, operators, and founders don’t want yet another chatbot that “kind of” understands them. They want intelligence that knows:
- How they structure a deal
- How they talk to their audience
- What “good work” looks like in their world
That’s where Individual AI comes in: an AI built from your own corpus of emails, docs, decks, notes, and content — a model of your life and work rather than the entire internet.
Uare.ai calls this a Human Life Model: an AI that behaves more like a private chief of staff than a random assistant in the corner.
The economic tailwind behind your future AI self
This isn’t just a vibes-based prediction.
- McKinsey estimates that generative AI could add $2.6–$4.4 trillion in economic value annually, largely through productivity gains.
- Their broader projections suggest AI could drive up to $23 trillion in annual economic value by 2040.
You don’t unlock those numbers with a few browser chatbots. You get there when every worker has an intelligent layer that understands their role, their domain, and their style — essentially, an Individual AI embedded in their day-to-day.
As OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has put it, AI systems are already acting like “junior employees,” and you’re unlikely to lose your job to AI itself, but to “someone who uses AI.” The logical endpoint is that everyone has their own AI teammate that grows with them.
“Everyone will have their own AI” isn’t sci-fi anymore
Investors and founders have been saying it out loud for a while: everyone will have their own AI, trained on their preferences and patterns, acting on their behalf across tools and platforms.
The difference now is maturity:
- We have models that can stay in context over long stretches of your life and work.
- We have infrastructure that can keep your data separate, owned by you instead of swallowed by a platform.
- And we have new frameworks, like the Human Life Model, that treat you not as a data point, but as a whole person with history, goals, and values.
The result is an Individual AI that doesn’t just autocomplete your sentences; it helps you extend your judgment and creativity.
What this means for you (the human in the loop)
An Individual AI isn’t about replacing you. It’s about expanding the surface area of what you can do:
- Turning your expertise into something that can work 24/7
- Keeping your voice and values consistent across every channel
- Freeing you from “workslop” so you can spend more time on the weird, interesting, deeply human problems only you can tackle
The story of the next decade won’t be “AI versus humans.” It’ll be humans who choose to build an Individual AI — and those who are still trying to do everything solo.
You already have a brain. Soon, you’ll have an Individual AI that knows it well enough to help you use it at full power.
The real question is: what knowledge will make your AI brilliant?
