Your AI Wasn't in the Room

If your AI doesn't know what happened, how is it supposed to help you? The conversations outside your laptop are the context it's missing.

Draki holds open a cobalt-blue door and extends a welcoming paw against a pale mint-green background.

One of the biggest problems for people who have a lot of meetings is remembering things. Sometimes very specific things: what someone asked for, what you agreed on, why they said no. And then getting that information into your AI. That is the part I find interesting.

Because if AI doesn't know what happened, how is it supposed to help you? How can it tell you there is another possibility, another person you could speak to, another thing you could try? Maybe the answer was in a conversation you had yesterday. Maybe someone already told you exactly what you need. But you forgot, and your AI never heard it.

We are connecting our agents to emails, Slack, calendars and all the tools we use. And we can see how much better they work when they have the context. But recording your meetings on Google Meet is not enough. What about everything that happens after you close the laptop? What about lunch with your colleagues, dinner with a client, the person you meet who tells you something that becomes useful a month later?

We need something that can help us remember our whole day. From when we wake up to when we go to bed. The conversations, the interactions, the ideas we talk through with other people. You don't always know what will matter while it's happening. Sometimes you only understand why a conversation was important weeks later.

Imagine your AI having access to that context, with you deciding what gets recorded and shared. You could ask it about something you forgot, but you could also ask what you could do differently. Who could help you. What you haven't considered. And it could connect things from your actual life, including conversations you would never have thought to put in the same prompt.

That is when personal AI becomes really interesting to me. An assistant that knows enough about your life to help you see possibilities you couldn't see on your own. I want that. I want to use it every day.

That is why I am building a new wearable called DRAKI.
