Eventually, your Sidekik will start communicating with millions of other AI’s in order to make decisions and achieve your goals. Imagine clicking a LinkedIn’s “Find me a new job” button and your Sidekik goes on thousands of job interviews to find the best match for you by communicating with companies own AI’s.

There are 7 billion people in the world, but on average a person only meets 80 000 in his lifetime. What if instead of 80 000 you could now meet a million? How much more richer would your life be? Your Sidekik can do that. It may be going on millions of dates to find you the perfect date or have a thousand conversations to see how great friends you would be with someone. Google gives you a selection of information, your Sidekik gives you a selection of decisions.

The Inevitable

Do you know what has been Microsoft’s most successful product in the last 5 years by new users?

It’s XiaoIce, an AI friend in China who has over half a billion users and 20 million of whom have said: “I love you.” Today, an Australia size population already loves an AI friend.

Movie Her where the protagonist falls in love with an AI

A lot of people will have an AI friend but all of us will have an AI version of ourselves who will make decisions, simplify our lives and in the future even work for us. This is inevitable.

Once we understand this, then arises the question of who will own our AI’s? We believe it has to be the individuals themselves, not a big technology company whose sole purpose is making money. Otherwise, imagine being able to communicate with your AI for only half of the time, because for the other half Google forces it to watch ads.

How does it work?

Your Sidekik uses neural networks, the same technology that powers everything from Siri to self-driving cars. This gives it ability to talk with you, understand you well enough and be personal to you. Secondly, your Sidekik uses predictive analytics to help you make those daily decisions.

Only you will have access to your personal data if you choose to create your Sidekik through on-device computing. Similarly works Apple’s Face ID — your personal data isn’t sent to a cloud but is only inside your mobile phone. We believe this the only way we can truly own our AI’s.
