What does personal intelligence mean? If tech like Palantir’s were to be democratized and available to you, what might your own personal seeing stone in your pocket enable you to know, to do?
Here’s a bit of a sneak peek through ASIMOV’s seeing stone regarding our San Francisco event later today. In the minute or so that this ingest took, we first extracted the Luma event’s guest list and then for each of the 95 guests figured out their social media accounts on X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and beyond
We obtained those profiles in full, as well as the respective social graphs (followers/followees/mutuals) for each of those accounts, and collated all that into a nontrivial (95 → ~300K → 50M+ nodes) knowledge graph representing the combined social network, reconciled with and layered onto our existing massive knowledge base. This tells us who is in the room and how they relate to us and to each other
We then fetched and indexed the most recent posts for each guest’s social media accounts, and computed & compiled executive summaries of their recent activities and demonstrated interests on each those platforms, not only from text posts but also from any available photos and (short) videos. These dossiers are incredibly helpful in pinpointing who might share mutual interests
We also, naturally enough, indexed all faces detected in guests’ profile photos and their most recent social media posts, as well as filed away a voice sample from any available Instagram or YouTube clip. This enables recognizing guests by their likeness and/or their voice, as we have showcased at previous events
All this, by the way, can run directly on your phone, tablet, or laptop as well; just rather slower than the dedicated, scalable upstream infrastructure showcased here. Nonetheless, in the future you will be able to produce and monetize this event intelligence in your pocket yourself, or just purchase on-the-go access to it as you like
The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.
Join us at Frontier Tower tonight at 6pm to learn & discuss personal intelligence built on your own personal context graph connecting all people and information in your life!
Join us this Thursday in downtown San Francisco at Frontier Tower for the next edition of ASIMOV DevLabs with the topic Context Graphs & Personal Intelligence!
We have a lively, friendly community forming around Bay Area builders working on graph-based approaches to local AI and self-sovereign intelligence. At our previous events, the fascinating conversations have often continued to midnight & beyond!
Limited seating. Bring your laptop. Lightning talks welcome.
