I want to do nothing.
I am serious. I am lazy, and I want to build a world where AI does everything for me: at work, with my family, in my business, even my ops and running the company. One system that runs my whole life. My life OS.
Last week I tried every personal AI agent out there to book one flight from SF to LA. I ended up booking it myself. On the way back, I handed the same task to my wife and went to sleep.
That gap is what this is about.
What I see is a new world.
1. The Vision: Autonomous Living and Operations
The vision is a world where individuals, families, businesses, and enterprises run on autopilot.
1.1 What I Want
- To do nothing!
- To jump on a call with my workers, discuss strategy, and let them execute.
- To show up for meetings and let autonomous workers take it from there.
- To have workers looped in after physical meetings, knowing every promise made to customers, team members, investors, or partners, and pursuing every one of them to completion.
The future I see is one where my only job is to say what I want, and everything else gets done.
1.2 Where AI Is Today
Today I live in insecurity and fear with AI: fear that it doesn't have enough context, fear that it will make mistakes. So I end up micromanaging and literally babysitting the AI.
As AI gets more capable, I should be spending more time on strategic growth, not supervising it. Instead, sometimes I just end up taking over and doing the work myself. If a human employee made me feel that way, I would fire them immediately.
I can't just give a job description, have a huddle, or jump on a phone call with the team and have everyone get to work: humans and AI colleagues working together as one team to grow my business.
The future I see is AI that earns my trust the way my best people do, so I never have to babysit it again.
2. The North Star
It is always about growth: personal growth, family growth, or business growth.
The future I see is AI that is as obsessed with my growth as I am.
2.1 Personal Life, Work Life and Family Life
Personal agents still haven't solved the trust problem.
Last Friday we used all the agents, Muse, Instinct and the others, to book a simple flight from SF to LA. While it was working, something inside me kept worrying about what could go wrong, not what could go right. I thought to myself: surely, how hard can it be? It's just booking a flight. Every personal agent demo has been focused on this one use case, so I should be able to have the agent book a flight with my eyes closed, with just a phone call, without having to do anything else.
But it wasn't so. My eyes were glued to the screen and the browser, watching the agent do the work, and at some point I just went directly to Southwest Airlines and booked the flight myself.
I trust myself. The problem is: can I trust an AI worker like I trust myself?
You may say this is coming from insecurity, but I have had humans book flights for me with one phone call, and my partners have done it for me. So the question is: how do we engineer a high-trust AI partner experience that lets people hand off work and go to sleep?
The goal is to hand off work without fear: hand it off, go to sleep or do other things, and never think for a second about what could go wrong.
It's 7:41 PM as I write this, and we are booking our flight from LAX to SFO. And no, we are not using Muse, Instinct, or any of the others. I tried earlier this afternoon, compared rates across 3 agents, and for some reason it felt like work. So I went to sleep, literally. I gave my wife the task, and I didn't care or worry. I am here writing this to you because I know it's sorted or going to be sorted. She just asked if she should go ahead and pay. Now she's paid.
Can we recreate this experience with AI? If yes, how? And what is the right interface and experience for it?
The future I see is a worker that is always present, but ambient. I want to talk or type depending on the moment. I want to be on the phone or Zoom, not supervising, just talking like partners, and I know it knows what to do. I want it to know and understand our constraints, our budget and our finances, and always work with me to make the right decisions.
The right model for personal workers is deep knowledge and awareness of the individual. For example, while we were booking this trip, my wife got 70% off at LaserAway, because the phone and our devices carry the context and life of the individual.
Personal agents should sit on the phone. The agent needs the whole phone and the whole context, deep awareness of the individual, because the phone is the central operating system of human lives. But it must also be aware of the human. When we were booking the trip to LA, we were already at SFO about to fly, and Instinct and Muse were still recommending options. They weren't aware of what was at stake: the business mission, that it was late, that we needed a place booked immediately. They didn't know our bank account, our budget, or that we are always budget-sensitive. All this context was already captured in my phone, in my meetings, and in the mission of what I was going to do in LA. Somehow we kept feeding it the what and the where and having it figure out the best place to stay. We kept having it compare prices of the stay, but it missed that we needed the whole cost: Uber or Lyft and everything else, plus the cost of inconvenience. It didn't know how to count the cost, because the context it needed was right there in the phone, unused.
Personal agents should be able to use my phone and the sessions and apps on it. We ended up splitting the work. My wife used all the Instincts and Muses, and I just used Airbnb directly and Maps. I drilled down to 2 hosts, messaged them, kept engaging them to know which one was the best fit, checked the distance from Santa Monica and my event, calculated the trip, the itinerary and the Uber cost, and booked the house on Airbnb myself. But after I booked, I kept wondering if I made the right choice on budget, location and everything else.
I wanted the agent to have done this for me, with no stress on my end.
Personal agents should be the operating system of my personal life. Every day we had to go to Santa Monica and take an Uber back. It would have been great to have all of that booked, and while riding home, have DoorDash ordered so the food arrives the same time I get home.
In fact, when we landed and booked an Uber ourselves, we ordered food on DoorDash from a Jamaican restaurant. The restaurant kept trying to reach me by phone and on the app, but couldn't, so we got chicken instead of goat meat.
I would have loved my agent to do all this for me. I want an agent that becomes the operating system for my personal life: I tell it the vision or mission in the morning, and it runs the day for me.
2.1.1 Vision for Personal Agent (My Life on Auto-Mode)
The ideal experience: I am at home in Sunnyvale, and my wife or I get a call from my agent that the Uber is downstairs at exactly the time we need to leave, because it has been watching traffic and calculating security check-in time. We get in, and on the ride to the airport it knows I am riding with my wife. It gives me a heads-up by text, or calls my wife directly since I may be on a call (it knows not to disturb), and tells us the gate, that it has checked us in, and that the bags are confirmed, so I am not stressed.
While we are at the gate, it has engaged, confirmed, texted and called all the potential hosts, and already booked my Uber for when we land, factoring in bag pickup time and telling us where to go to get the ride. It tracks the flight, sees delays, and adjusts the plans, or cancels and reschedules the Uber. While we are in the air, it orders the food, factoring in cook and delivery time, calls the host to ask for 2 extra towels, and even hustles to get us discounts on flights, rides and food, because it knows we are on a budget.
Every morning it already knows all my meetings and schedules, confirmed them while I was asleep, and organized my calendar. It knows I have a wife and helps organize our family plans too, so I have work, life, family and business in balance. It wakes me up for devotion and moves things around so I make my morning run, and while I am running, it engages with the people I am meeting, books the ride, and even finds the right place to meet. It handles all of that.
When we meet in person, it can call me afterwards to get a breakdown. Now the agent switches roles from personal worker to work and business, from personal mode to work mode. It picks out the key action points and gets to work on them without waiting for me, so I keep moving while everything else gets handled: my life on autopilot. Better still, my life on autonomous mode.
Agents should keep me on the go, not glued to logistics.
The future I see is one where I tell my agent the mission in the morning, and my day just happens: the ride, the flight, the food, the meetings, the family plans, all handled before I even think to ask.
2.2 Professional Growth
The agent should know my intrinsic goal is to grow. I don't need to tell it all that, because the context lives across all my devices.
It should not even prompt me. It should just be scheduling meetings and signing me up for the best events and communities that will help me grow.
My frustrations with growth can't always be clearly expressed, but over time, across all my devices, it can know my goals, my ambition, the struggles I have yet to put into words, and my current bottleneck to getting there. And it should be working round the clock to remove those bottlenecks and roadblocks.
Whether I need a new job, a career pivot, a new friend, a new idea or something else, it should be AI ME. It should deeply know me, and every human today can be deeply known by their activities and struggles. Our lives, past, present and future, are painted by our struggles, and those struggles are captured in our interactions with the world around us (people, friends and content), our habits, and even where we repeatedly go and what we do. When we make major pivots in life or career, it's usually because of a life event or turning point, and all of that is captured in our activities. The context lives with us, on the devices we already own.
The future I see is an AI that knows my ambition better than my resume does, and quietly clears the path to it while I sleep.
2.3 Business Growth
Whether it is starting a new business, scaling a struggling one, pivoting, or finding new ways to grow, the context for a business lives in the apps we already use and in data we don't even monitor today.
We want agents that know us deeply and find founder-problem fit opportunities: agents that go and schedule meetings with people who share the same struggles or opportunities, so we can meet, talk, partner or work together, literally 24/7.
The agent should know our financial situation and the state of the business, and even move into panic mode when it knows what is at stake. If we can't pay rent or make the next payroll, it should work overtime and book that next meeting or next flight with the strategic partners or customers that help us win.
The agents should feel like they are on the same team: if we win, we win together; and if we fail, we die.
Today, agents don't know what's at stake. Even when we try to tell them, they can't comprehend catastrophic failure: the death of a company, or reputational damage that is hard or impossible to come back from. They are also not self-aware enough to know the impact a hallucination, or even a possible hallucination, could have on a business.
Business growth is critical and sensitive, and its context is spread across work, personal, social, physical and informal settings. Capturing all of it is hard; there will always be a context gap. But if we layer personal workers on professional workers (that even know when I changed jobs, because maybe they helped me get the job) and on business workers, we can bridge that gap and have agents operate in the real, messy world, where most context is face-to-face and has to be provided, just like today we fill in our spouse on events we go to in person. There must be a way to close those gaps so agents can work with whole-organization context.
The future I see is agents with skin in the game: they know what's at stake, they feel the payroll date coming, and they fight for the company like a founder would.
3. The Autonomous Organization
Once we can capture enough context of each individual's personal life, family life, work and business, happening across multiple devices, environments, applications and agents, we get a world where agents collaborate with other agents directly, as versions of ourselves. They run the business or do the work for us while we sleep, with colleagues in other time zones, or while we travel. No more OOO: the agent is working in the cloud with partners and colleagues, keeping value creation going. Once this happens, we reach a world where agents run a company fully autonomously, working with other agents, and with their humans as physical data-context collectors.
The future I see is fully autonomous organizations driven by agent-to-agent collaboration, creating value continuously, 24/7, while humans focus purely on visionary steering.
3.1 Remote Worker, not Co-Worker
What we want is a colleague that is a remote worker, not the AI version of a coworker that sits on my computer working on my tasks with me. That kind of coworker is an enhancer, not an addition. In a business, I want an independent colleague that actually takes work off my plate and works directly with other human or AI colleagues without coming back to me. Its own entity, one that makes me whole.
The future I see is a colleague that works like a remote worker 3 miles from me. This worker sits in the cloud, and I can trust that this remote colleague has my back and has agency. I don't need to micromanage it or see what it's doing, and when I close my laptop, it takes 100% of my work and keeps going. Bone of my work bone, flesh of my work flesh: a real sidekick and clone, filling all the gaps I have so I can do great work and be effective.
3.2 The Blindfold Test
No interface.
I don't look over my employees' shoulders, so why do I need to do that for agents? I end up watching my agent work on the screen, and sometimes I wish I had just taken over and done it myself. We need agents that can work without me feeling insecure or needing to see what they're doing, just like a remote worker.
The test is simple: can I hand it off blindfolded?
The future I see is one where I never need to look. I close my eyes, hand it off, and open them to finished work.
3.3 Digital Humanoid
I should be able to call it, jump on Zoom, ask it to share its screen, and have a worker working 24/7 like my colleague in the next city or country.
The future I see is a digital humanoid on my team: it has a name, picks up when I call, shares its screen when I ask, and keeps working long after I log off.
The Future I See
The future I see is one life OS, built around one person: you.
- For me: I wake up, say the mission for the day, and it runs. The rides, the flights, the food, the calendar, the follow-ups, all handled before I think to ask.
- For my family: it knows I have a wife and a life outside work. It protects devotion, the morning run and family plans, and keeps work, life, family and business in balance.
- At work: it knows my ambition better than my resume does, and clears the path to it every day.
- In my business: it has skin in the game. It knows what's at stake, it feels the payroll date coming, and it fights for the company like a founder would.
- For the organization: my workers talk to your workers. Agents collaborate with agents, 24/7, across every time zone, and the company keeps creating value while we sleep.
No babysitting. No watching the screen. No OOO. You hand it off blindfolded, go to sleep, and wake up to finished work.
That is the difference between AI that helps and AI that does the work.
Hand It Off and Go to Sleep
So here is my ask.
Tonight, before you go to sleep, think of the one thing you are tired of babysitting. The thing you keep checking, keep doing yourself, keep worrying about.
Reply and tell me what it is. I will read every one, because that list is what we are building.
At GrupaAI, we are building the workers you hand it off to: workers that know your life, your family, your work and your business, and finish the job while you sleep.
If you are a builder who sees what I see, come build it with us. If you are a founder drowning in work, be one of the first to hand it off. If you are an investor who has been waiting for this, let's talk.
Our mission is to liberate humanity from labor, and elevate humanity.
Hand it off. Go to sleep. The future I see starts tonight.
