O que Egoist Machines faz

Egoist Machines is building infrastructure for a world where your personal context belongs to you, rather than to the apps and AI companies you use. Today, every assistant and consumer app builds its own version of you. We think that architecture is backwards. Your context should live with you, persist across products, and be available to any model, app or agent you choose. AI Passport is the first layer of that infrastructure. It brings the context you generate across AI assistants and everyday apps into one portable profile you control. Tell ChatGPT something and Claude can already know it, for example. Switch to a new product and it can understand you from the first interaction, without the new company needing to own the underlying data. Apps integrate through Sign in with AI Passport, requesting only the context they need for a specific purpose and duration. Users can see what is being accessed and revoke that access later. Underneath, we have built our own memory infrastructure for fast, compact per-user retrieval and permissioned access. We are distributing AI Passport directly to consumers through first-party products, while integrating it into consumer applications with existing distribution. Every new product that uses Passport gives users another reason to maintain their context there, and every additional Passport holder makes the context layer more useful to developers. The next step is to build a true Egoist Machine: an intelligent system whose memory, incentives and actions are governed by the individual it represents. We call it Digital Domovoy, the hardware extension of AI Passport. Instead of your most personal context ultimately living on somebody else's servers, it lives and is processed locally on hardware you control. AI Passport becomes the permission layer between that private local context and the cloud models and internet services you choose to use. Our North Star is the Egoist Machine: an intelligent system whose memory, incentives and actions are governed by the individual it represents.

Portable, user-owned personal context for AI apps.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building ego.ist - the infrastructure to make your personal context securely portable across every AI app. Our product is AI Passport: a user-controlled profile that stores the context you build across assistants and apps, so you own your data and can authorize any app or AI model to access exactly what you want. Products integrate via Sign in with AI Passport, and users always see, control, and revoke access. The next step is Digital Domovoy - hardware that keeps your most personal data local and makes your context accessible to AI models through a permission layer you control.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

San Francisco, CA, USA. The company would remain based in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're already based in San Francisco, which is where the early users, developer community, and ecosystem for consumer AI products are concentrated. This is also where many partners and testers are.
