About iamai-core
Personal AI, Simply Yours
iamai-core is a revolutionary approach to artificial intelligence: a personal AI system that learns continuously from its user, operates entirely locally, and can serve as both a companion and a legacy. Our technology is designed to be scalable while remaining accessible to users with varying levels of computing resources.
Our Story
In the world of local AI, there is a stark divide: powerful tools for developers that require technical expertise, or simple website apps for everyone else that lack real capability. iamai-core bridges this gap by being both a straightforward personal AI application and a set of easy-to-use developer plugins.
What makes iamai-core different is its approach. It runs entirely on your own device, learning from your daily interactions while keeping everything private. No cloud services, no data sharing, no complex setup - just download and start. For regular users, it's as easy as installing any other program. For developers, it's a powerful framework that integrates smoothly into existing projects.
Think of it like having a digital companion that evolves alongside you. It learns from each interaction, becoming more personalized over time. It's your AI, running on your hardware, adapting to your preferences, completely private.
We believe personal AI should be accessible to everyone - powerful for developers, simple for everyone else. That's why we're building iamai-core as an open-source project, creating a foundation for truly personal artificial intelligence that anyone can use and build upon.
Core Architecture
Our technology consists of three main components:
Core neural network ("brain")
- The central AI model that powers understanding and generation
Data modality I/O systems ("senses")
- Interfaces for text, audio, and visual interaction
Traditional programming interfaces ("tools")
- Extensions for practical functionality
All of this runs locally with no cloud dependencies, preserving your privacy and ownership of your data.
About the Founder
Wil Bown is the founder and lead architect of iamai-core, bringing over 35 years of innovative development experience to the project. As a specialist in AI architectures (Transformer, RL, GAN, LSTM, etc) with expertise in llama.cpp, PyTorch, and TensorFlow, Wil has consistently pioneered at the intersection of emerging technologies. His background includes creating one of the first viable Blockchain + AI projects (Neureal), implementing reinforcement learning AI agents, and building open-source frameworks for AI experimentation.
Wil's technical vision is complemented by his community leadership, having founded and grown Utah's largest Bitcoin and VR meetup communities. His passion for "making machines that give us the power to be more human" drives iamai-core's mission of creating AI that truly belongs to its users — technology that runs locally, preserves privacy, and learns continually from personal interaction rather than corporate data collection.
With award-winning projects in AI, blockchain, and VR, Wil bridges cutting-edge technological capabilities with practical applications that respect user agency and ownership.
