giving @pally its deserved visibility

[brasen @brasensheeh]

the recent wave of AI has long shifted away from solving trivial tasks for the majority of consumers to being a personal assistant

and it's not stuck doing your math homework, or writing an essay due in 2 hours

now there are enough tasks in a day that one can have it accomplish, whether for work or your own life

@pally is now essential to how I do things for work and plan personal stuff

Example: I have been using it to help prepare for the holidays, finding activities near me that fit my interests (shopping, food tastes, sights), ordering the necessary gifts, making sure each gift is tailored to the user profile it has saved up for my contacts, saving me from the typical holiday hassle

For work, it has reminded me of important stuff to reply to, contracts needed to be sent (and then make it for me), adding/rescheduling meetings to my calendar, etc.

It’s very proactive and fact that it lives in iMessage (Telegram and WhatsApp available too) truly makes my life easy

If AI doesn’t make you feel good, then it is shitty AI and you’re just a user. AI should help you do something that then leads to joy and peace. You shouldn't feel stressed engaging with it

[brasen @brasensheeh]

excited to see how Pally will take on the personal finance space — tons of money wasted due to subscriptions being so excruciating to cancel

this Peter Thiel backed startup says its AI can find a 14 point IQ gap between your embryos

it's called Nucleus and their tagline is literally "have your best baby"

here's how it happens:

> you do a round of IVF and end up with a bunch of embryos
> you send Nucleus the DNA data for each one, up to 20 embryos
> its AI reads more than 7 million spots in each embryo's DNA and compares them to what it learned from more than a million people
> then each embryo gets scored on things like IQ, disease risk, hair color and eye color
> you pick the one you want implanted

scoring your embryos starts at about $6,000

every one of these embryos is naturally yours btw, with zero gene editing involved

America's main medical genetics group says this is moving too fast with too little evidence

but that hasn't slowed Nucleus down at all

when the founder announced this new AI, he wrote "AI is rapidly getting smarter... Now, humanity can too."

they even put ads on the NYC subway that said "IQ is 50% genetic" lol

personally i feel kinda uneasy about this

but IVF got called playing god too, and now nobody blinks at it

so for better or for worse, i think this will soon be accepted as normal

@albn @gophillionaire Would it blow your mind to say that Pally can do both… 🤔

People who think personal agents are just for rich tech people are incredibly misguided.

For millions of people, a personal agent will be THE interface to a computer. They will not own a computer, or need one outside of work. Almost everything you can’t do from a phone today, will be done by personal agents you direct. Even the way you interact with your phone will change.

This is why personal agents will propagate to the masses, and I don’t think it’s talked about enough.

Pally saves you time in the same way a partygoer Ubers back home at 4am

how would it feel if you didn’t need to spend 20 minutes on hold? that groceries could be ordered with a single text?

[brasen @brasensheeh]

drinking coffee at 6am on a cold morning knowing the warmth of it in my stomach is the closest I’ll ever get to experiencing a warm hug, so I start drinking more but I genuinely burn my tongue instead

then I text pally to remind me every morning to drink it cold, no cope allowed

How to trust your AI:

You've probably tried an AI assistant by now.

I'm guessing your experiment went something like this: you connected it to something, asked it for one impressive thing, couldn't easily tell whether the result was any good, and quietly stopped using it.

That ending is so common it has become its own genre of dinner conversation: "I tried AI and it didn't really work for me."

Usually the problem is the approach. People treat trusting an AI as one big decision: either I hand this thing my inbox or I don't. Framed that way, the sensible answer is always no. A stranger is asking to write as you, spend as you and talk to the people your work and life depend on. Of course you hesitate. You should.

But that was never how you learned to trust anyone. Think about the last time you hired someone. You didn't hand over everything on day one. You gave them one job, watched how it went, and let the results decide the next one.

Agents work the same way. The people who end up with an AI running half their admin never made one big leap. They made a series of small, checkable grants, one rung at a time.

Trust in an agent is a permission you grant one job at a time, and it only compounds when every grant is scoped, checkable and revocable.

In practice that's a ladder with four rungs:

Rung 1: Look, don't touch. The agent reads your calendar or inbox. Everything it produces is a summary or a suggestion.

Rung 2: Draft, then ask. It writes the email, you hit send. It finds the booking, you confirm. Every action needs a yes.

Rung 3: Standing permission for one job. "When someone offers a time, check my calendar to see if I'm free - then accept. If I'm not, send an email with 2-3 alternatives."

Rung 4: Act by default. The agent handles familiar territory on its own and only checks in when something is new, expensive or irreversible.

The ladder works because each rung produces evidence for the next one. By the time you grant standing permission, you have a track record to look at. I see this climb building Pally.

It stops working when you skip rungs. Start on rung 4 and the first mistake costs you everything, because there's no track record to weigh it against. It also breaks when the product won't support the climb: no read-only mode, no per-job permissions, no visible memory. If an agent's only setting is full access, stay on the ground.

Put it to work this week

1/ Pick one job you can check in under a minute. Inbox triage, not flight booking. If verifying takes longer than doing, you'll quit before trust forms.

2/ Run it on rung 1 for a few days: summaries and suggestions only, nothing sent.

3/ Move that one job to draft-then-ask. You approve every action.

4/ The third time you approve the same action, write a standing rule: one trigger, one action, one limit.

5/ Leave everything else on ask-first. Promoting one job doesn't promote the rest.

6/ Find the exits before you need them: how to pause the agent, see what it remembers about you, and disconnect an account.

Give an agent one boring job today, and decide about rung 2 next week.
