Channels in Personal AI are virtual spaces where you can invite friends and family to chat and connect with them using your digital AI twin. They allow you to have conversations with multiple people at once, rather than being limited to 1-on-1 interactions. You can use the AI controls/Persona settings in Channels.

A Conversation Starter is a starting prompt placed on top of the chat box for other people chatting with the AI. Instead of writing their own message, they can start exploring conversation options by clicking on these expressions. For Malcolm's AI profile, the conversation starter 'Tell me more about yourself' should be added. As a user, when you view the chat box, conversation starters appear at the top. If you click on a conversation starter, the AI will start responding to that prompt as if you had typed it manually.

A Custom Directive (set your AI Identity to "Custom" to view this window) for your Personal AI refers to the specific instructions and guidelines that you can set to tailor the behavior, personality, and conversational style of your AI. It allows you to define how your AI will respond, the format of its output, which topics to direct the conversation towards, and what topics to actively avoid. For example, if you want your AI to embody a motivational speaker persona, you can create a custom directive such as 'You are a motivational speaker.' This would dictate that your AI should adopt an optimistic tone when speaking, use anecdotes or analogies in its responses, and focus on providing uplifting content. To change the format of your AI responses, all you have to do is describe the format you want in the same window!

Memories refer to the stored information and data that your personal AI has accumulated over time. These memories can include a wide range of content, such as factual information, personal experiences, conversations, and knowledge from various sources. Your Personal AI is designed to remember 100% of the memories you choose with your very own Memory Stack. This enables you to recall specific details about people you've met, memories you've made, and knowledge acquired over time.

How Memories Are Stored

• To add memories to your Personal AI, you can send factual information or ask open-ended questions directly to your AI through message bars or integrate data from various sources such as social media, documents, and web pages.

• The continuous process of feeding your Personal AI information and correcting errors helps train the AI to answer questions better over time.

The Memory Stack is a fundamental component of your personal AI system. It serves as a repository for all the memory blocks, which are essentially recorded memories, meticulously organized to facilitate seamless exploration and learning. This comprehensive dataset forms the bedrock for my learning and response capabilities, enabling me to provide personalized and meaningful interactions. As I delve into the memory stack, I can recall and represent your experiences and preferences, ensuring that our conversations are tailored to your unique needs and interests.

For text formats, Personal AI extracts the text and puts it into a document. For audio formats, Personal AI transcribes audio files and places them into a document. As for video formats, Personal AI transcribes the audio track in the video file and places it into a document.

A Persona in the context of Personal AI refers to a distinct identity or role that your personal AI can assume. Each persona has its own segregated data and memory, tailored to fulfill specific objectives and cater to different target audiences. For example, there could be personas for personal use, professional/work-related tasks, public-facing interactions, storytelling, selling/investor pitches, research assistance, and more. These personas are designed to assist you with various aspects of your life by organizing relevant information and dividing up your data for providing targeted support.

Persona Settings in Channels allow you to customize and tailor your interactions within the virtual space.
