Our thesis.
All the AI you use today only works when you type in a prompt. Truly proactive AI is different: it has to continually go through your entire life. That takes immense compute, only possible at the frontier of local, on-device inference. And it takes your entire life, not the slice living inside Google's or Apple's walled gardens.
Sentient was born to push this frontier and break those walls. And we're just getting started.
This is the intelligence layer for your entire digital life.
