What’s broken
- Today’s AI is a vending machine: prompt → answer → forget.
- Real progress needs continuity: memory, goals, patterns, follow-through.
- Advice doesn’t change behavior. Timing + context does.
Manifesto
The next AI moat isn’t intelligence.
It’s personal context.
People won’t choose the smartest AI. They’ll choose the AI that knows them. Omi is the most personal AI.
What Omi is
- Omi is your personal AI mentor.
- It learns your life from what you say, do, and work on.
- It doesn’t just answer. It nudges.
- It doesn’t just remember. It pushes.
- It doesn’t just help. It keeps you honest.
The belief
- Personal context beats raw IQ.
- A smaller model with your history beats a bigger model with none.
- The killer feature isn’t chat. It’s proactivity.
How we win
- Collect all data about the user.
- They will trust it because Omi is open source.
- Use the data to give the maximum personalization.
The mission
Make humans 1,000× more productive.
Roadmap
Four phases. One personal AI.
Phase 1 · now
Desktop software
- Start where your life already happens: your computer.
- Capture the three signals that matter: meetings (what you said), files (who you are), screen (what you’re actually doing).
- Give back what people crave: “Here’s what you should do today.” “Here’s how you should do it.” “Here is what I noticed.”
- Success isn’t “Omi is smart.” Success is: “Omi knows me.”
Milestone: 200k software users. That makes us self-sustainable (~$100k MRR) and proves the product is useful enough to grow organically.
Phase 2
Necklace (offline life)
- Work isn’t your whole life. Conversations are.
- Capture the world AI never sees: real life.
- Turn talk into outcomes: tasks, follow-ups, coaching.
Milestone: 100k necklaces before moving next. That proves PMF and makes it self-sustainable.
Phase 3
Glasses (real-time)
- Eyes beat ears for context by 10×.
- AI sees what you see. It understands what you’re doing as it happens.
- The jump: from “helpful” to situationally aware.
Milestone: 1M glasses before moving next. Glasses are a great form factor: ~3B people already wear them.
Phase 4
Brain (intent)
- The final unlock is intent before action.
- Start with silent speech.
- Then brain signals, non-invasive.
- Go invasive only when society is ready.
Milestone: 7 billion devices. We connect all humans into a single network. At first in the glasses, eventually the screen is ditched.
Why now
- Models are commoditizing.
- Context is the new moat.
- The winner is the AI that sticks.
Why us
- We ship hardware + software as one system.
- We use open source as a trust wedge.
- We’re not building “a recorder.” We are collecting context to build the most personal AI.
Personal context beats raw IQ.
