A new AI app called Sentience can read your emails, messages, and social media to create a chatbot that sounds exactly like you. The company launches publicly on March 26 after raising $6.5 million from investors.
The AI doesn’t just copy how you write—it learns your opinions, memories, and personality quirks to become your digital twin. One reporter tested it and said the bot could predict her thoughts on news stories and even write articles from her perspective.
Your AI Assistant Knows Everything About You
Sentience was built by Sam Kececi, a former Amazon engineer who wanted to create “the digital version of you, but with perfect memory.” The app scans through your digital life—Apple Notes, Slack messages, social posts—to understand how you think and communicate.
The goal is ambitious: an AI that can eventually act on your behalf, handling tasks while sounding exactly like you would. Right now it works on phones, computers, and inside Slack, but Kececi wants it everywhere you chat—WhatsApp, iMessage, Microsoft Teams.
Unlike ChatGPT or other general AI assistants, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all bot. It’s trained specifically on your data to become a personalized version of you that never forgets anything.
What Happens When AI Becomes You
The app launches free but will add paid features soon. Early testers say it’s “uncannily” accurate at mimicking their writing style and predicting their opinions on topics they’ve never discussed with the AI before.
This represents a big shift from generic AI assistants to deeply personal ones that know everything about your digital life—raising questions about privacy and what happens when an AI knows you better than you know yourself.
