Uare.ai, formerly known as Eternos, has shifted its focus from preserving voices and stories to developing personal AI models based on individual data. The company recently raised $10.3 million in seed funding, with Mayfield and Boldstart Ventures leading the investment.
Robert LoCascio, the founder who previously led LivePerson, envisioned creating a technology that replicates human beings along with their life stories and personalities. This vision led to the development of the Human Life Model (HLM), which captures unique values, life stories, and decision-making traits solely from an individual’s data.
Uare.ai’s pivot towards personal AI creation stemmed from the realization that existing models were utilizing user data to enhance their AI capabilities. By allowing individuals to own, share, and potentially monetize their personal AI models, Uare.ai aims to empower users in a data-driven world.
The company’s approach has gained attention, particularly after assisting terminally ill individuals like Michael Bommer in creating digital replicas of themselves. This new direction signifies a broader application of AI technology beyond legacy services, opening doors for professional and personal uses of personal AI.
