From common folks to world leaders, we are experiencing an untenable double-bind; our tech dehumanizes us, but we are hopelessly dependent on it. Tech led surveillance capitalism is rapidly accelerating to hijack our attention, agency and autonomy. Our digital homes are full of unwelcome guests, and our data is used as the new oil to fuel the global AI engine. These trends will only get worse since centralized AI’s growth demands more of our data and further violation of our privacy. This is not just a bad idea, it’s a very, very, very, very, very, very bad design (each very is a different kind of bad).

We envision a new era of personal tech to course correct above and hyper accelerate human productivity, self-knowledge and well-being. It starts with the realization that personal data is akin to sunshine - abundantly renewable and unique. Tech can safely and privately enable one to gather and utilize their own bio-psycho-sociometric context - instead of it being stolen and used against them – these are patterns inferred from voice, vision, vitals, haptics, movements, environment, digital and social activity, and more.

AGNi is a consent-driven, privacy-first, paradigm shifting technology to safely gather human context locally. AGNi brings affordable AI super-computing home and makes devices and wearables intimately aware of the user. AGNi opens a radically new and yet incredibly safe way to build personal AI agency that stream services on a contiguous interface, tailored especially for those with minimal tech-literacy.

Autonomously Generative Non-invasive interface (AGNi) turns devices into trustworthy, consent-driven and ubiquitous systems that learn you, to serve you. Its computing architecture breaks the double bind of privacy & safety vs. necessity & dependency. AGNi offers an unprecedented opportunity to repurpose tech & AI, to advance human flourishing. We are building a new ecosystem where your personal data is not usable against you, to manipulate you, where decentralized personal AI agents and services are shaped exclusively with your own data and context. The AGNi-verse is made of:

• Sol Garden, an AI super-computer and a data-factory in your home, to empower your productivity, privacy, self-knowledge, well-being, health, education and entertainment.

• Orchard, your safe and reliable AGNi-verse of devices that help reduce harms inflicted by tech (home-speaker, laptop, mobile phone), wearables (watch, ring, glasses) and robots.

• Toolshed, a new privacy by design app-store that enables AI developers to build trustworthy AI services.

New frontiers now become possible:

• Know Thyself. Get insights about yourself, make and measure self-improvement, expand memory.

• Private Mental & Behavioral Health Monitoring & Counselling. No internet or cloud required.

• Personal AI Chief of Staff/Advisor/Guide. for work, assistance, education, nutrition, fitness and well-being.

• Proof of Humanity Devices. to enable Zero Knowledge Transactions. Privacy with convenience.

• A Safe Human Internet for Life. for companionship, employment, community and reflection.

Let’s unlock humanity’s future potential by restoring and empowering human attention, agency and autonomy. Let’s domesticate tech to aid human flourishing. Let’s go back to the future we all want.

We propose that it is necessary, and now possible, to make technology virtuous.
