Building the AI-Powered, Truly Personal Internet

To make Stacks the AI layer for a hyper-personalized internet, here's a breakdown into core building blocks:

---

1. Data Ownership & Personalization (User’s Digital Footprint)

🔹 Users own their data → Unlike Google/Facebook, Stacks must let users control their preferences, history, and insights privately.
🔹 AI learns from user behavior, but privately → Instead of harvesting data, Stacks should act as a “vault” for user intelligence that AI references but doesn’t exploit.
🔹 Portability → Users should be able to take their "AI profile" anywhere online.

🔑 MVP Features:
✅ User-owned knowledge graph (notes, bookmarks, interactions, insights)
✅ AI learns from individual habits/preferences (not mass surveillance)
✅ Personal API or browser extension to capture user context seamlessly

---

2. Hyper-Personalized AI Interface (Your AI, Your Internet)

🔹 Instead of generic AI, Stacks should mold itself to each user.
🔹 Think of this like Jarvis → an AI that understands you deeply and helps you navigate content, communities, and decisions.
🔹 Should be adaptive → learning from user inputs and evolving without being creepy.

🔑 MVP Features:
✅ Conversational AI assistant with personal context
✅ AI-powered “feed” that surfaces what actually matters to the user
✅ A “discovery mode” where AI helps explore new interests, communities, and content

---

3. The Interaction Layer (Making the Web Feel Personal)

🔹 Right now, the internet is impersonal—you go to websites, log in separately, and get algorithm-fed content.
🔹 Stacks should bridge the gap between users and apps/sites:

• Auto-fill preferences, history, and context
• Remove ads & noise, surface what’s actually valuable
• Provide AI-powered “context switching” across different sites

🔑 MVP Features:
✅ AI-powered overlays for websites ( browser extension + SDK)
✅ Smart summaries and filters to remove internet noise
✅ Unified login but privacy-first (not a tracking system, but a “passport”)

---

4. Community & Social Layer (Beyond Content, Toward Meaningful Interaction)

🔹 Gen Z doesn’t just want passive consumption—they want to engage meaningfully.
🔹 Stacks should connect users to like-minded communities without algorithmic manipulation.

🔑 MVP Features:
✅ AI-curated social circles & community discovery
✅ Real-time collaboration & conversation spaces
✅ Personal AI for summarizing & engaging in online discussions

How Do We Build This? (Tech Stack & Roadmap)

We can’t do all of this at once, so we need to prioritize & sequence the build.

🔷 Phase 1: Foundation (3-6 Months)

✅ User Data Vault (store personal AI insights, recall data, preferences)
✅ Personal AI Chat Interface (simple chatbot that learns from user inputs)
✅ Browser Extension for Capturing & Surfacing Context
✅ First Version of AI-Powered Recall & Resurfacing

🔧 Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js + Supabase/Postgres (for private user data)
• Frontend: React + Tailwind + T3 stack (for AI UI layer)
• AI: OpenAI API (fine-tuned) + LangChain + Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Extension: Manifest v3 Chrome/Firefox extension

---

🔷 Phase 2: Making AI Personal (6-12 Months)

✅ Context-Aware AI that Personalizes Responses
✅ AI-Powered Web Overlay (browser assistant to filter, summarize, enhance web content)
✅ Community & Social Layer (AI-enhanced engagement, personalized discovery)

---

🔷 Phase 3: The Personal Internet Layer (12-24 Months)

✅ Seamless AI-driven Web Personalization (a personal "OS" for the internet)
✅ Interoperability with Websites & Apps (so AI can auto-adapt content for users)
✅ Full Ownership & Monetization for Users (data portability, decentralized ID, incentives?)

Final Thoughts:

This isn’t just a SaaS tool—this is reshaping how people interact with the internet.

Stacks is not “just AI-powered recall”—it’s about making the internet hyper-personalized, privacy-first, and AI-enhanced.

We believe it’s a massive opportunity. But the first step is building something people actually use. We start with the AI-powered personal data vault + browser extension.
