Monetizing Your Consciousness with Personal.ai

Suman Kanuganti, CEO and Founder of Personal.ai, shares how his team is building a decentralized, privacy-first AI platform that enables individuals to own and interact with a digital version of their own memory and thought process. The platform allows users to sync data from texts, emails, chats, and voice recordings—creating a personalized AI trained entirely on their unique experiences. With blockchain integration for secure data ownership and encryption, users maintain full control over their digital memory stack, ensuring that their AI remains private, authentic, and self-sovereign.

The discussion highlights how Personal.ai goes beyond content generation by unlocking new forms of human-AI collaboration. From enabling contextual conversations with thought leaders to creating monetizable “creator coins” for each AI model, the project reimagines how individuals interact with their data and share knowledge. As more users onboard, Personal.ai envisions a future where everyone has a personal AI in their pocket—one that helps them create, communicate, and remember on their own terms. The technology presents not just a new tool, but a transformative shift in how memory, identity, and intelligence are experienced in the Web3 era.
