Personal AI agents aggregate attention and intent, potentially a multi-trillion dollar category
signulll · x · 2026-10-03
- Personal AI agents are exciting because they aggregate attention like Facebook and intent like Google — effectively combining both giants into one product, the ultimate aggregator.
- Crucially, they generate ambient context: a continuously updating model of you built from messages, calendar, location, purchases, health, relationships, habits and work. This context used to be implicit; now people hand it over explicitly.
- Hence the category could be worth multiple trillions, if not more.
