There's tons of confusion about what we're all building towards with Personal AI. Are we building Agents? AI Harnesses? To what end?
In this video I lay why I think we're all heading towards a single place that we should start getting ready for now.
I think getting this early will put you 1-3 years ahead of everyone.
