# Personal AI

> Personal AI (legally Human AI Labs, Inc.) builds an identity-based memory layer and Personal Language Models (PLMs) - compact, individually trained AI models that capture a person's or organization's knowledge, voice, and decision-making. Instead of a single generic chatbot, the platform lets people and enterprises create AI personas trained on their own data, keeping ownership and privacy with the user. Founded in 2020 and based in San Francisco, the company positions its smaller, memory-grounded models as a more accurate, lower-cost, privacy-first alternative to centralized cloud LLMs for sales, healthcare, legal, HR and knowledge work.

## Products & services

- **Personal Language Model (PLM)** — A compact (~120M parameter) AI model trained on an individual's or organization's own data, generating responses grounded in that data rather than a generic corpus.
- **Memory Stack** — An automatically built digital memory library created from everyday communications - text, images, audio, video, slide decks and spreadsheets - that grounds the model's answers.
