Steve Lourdessamy: a no-code platform that helps you create and grow your personal AI

Spheria is a no-code platform that helps you create and grow your personal AI. Your Spheria is always available to give answers on your behalf, share your recommendations, and give your unique opinions. It’s the only AI you can trust to speak for you.

Unlike other Artificial General Intelligence like ChatGPT, Bard, or Claude, your personal AI only learns from you, your experiences, skills, and life stories.

Spheria is the only personal AI that celebrates you for who you are and grows along your side every day.

It’s always on, it’s always you.

Tell us about yourself?

 As a seasoned marketer with 10+ years of experience, I’ve built and scaled various B2C and B2B businesses that were in hyper-growth phases. I do believe that what makes branding unique is the radicality and authenticity of the stories behind the success and failures (on top of the infamous Product-Market Fit). At first, these stories intrigued me, but now they fascinate me. That’s why I decided to pursue my career in marketing: to craft, share and amplify the stories and life experiences of unique humans. The true magic behind marketing is that it sheds light on incredible stories of everyday people.

If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?

 Accept that there are things you can’t change about you and that you have to live with them and adapt. The same goes with people around you whether it’s family, friends, partners, or customers.

What problem does your business solve?

 With the plethora of productivity apps, it’s become a true pain to collect, access, and retrieve knowledge, especially for individuals. AI has made these tasks exceptionally more user-friendly and efficient. When prompted, an Artificial General Intelligence like ChatGPT will draw from trillion of generic data points to provide users with an impersonal answer. With Personal AIs, they can search Personal Knowledge Bases to get unique recommendations, insights, and stories. That’s what Spheria does: equipping humans with their own Personal AI so they can make their Personal Knowledge Base searchable by everyone at all times.

What is the inspiration behind your business?

 Most searches end up in Google. The top 1% of content creators rank their blogs, websites, and platforms there. But the most valuable answers come from people from your close circles: think of friends, colleagues, connections, or business partners. What if you could enter their minds at all times to access the knowledge you need? This is the question we’ve asked ourselves before launching our product. And that’s why Spheria came to life.

What is your magic sauce?

 Unlike Artificial General Intelligence which draws from generic data points or other Personal AI companies that are focusing on solving specific use cases (messaging, archiving, or finding information), Spheria, is the only AI you can train with your data to officially speak for you.

What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?

 AI is already transforming our lives, giving us the power to get time back, work better and faster, and improve our workflows.

We all know it’s only the beginning.

Tomorrow:

– AI will act on behalf of humans, they will speak for them but also make decisions,
– AI will autonomously read research papers, write books, and build companies,
– AI will talk to other AI, sometimes on behalf of humans, sometimes on their own terms,

Some people think that AI will replace humans.
Some people prophesize the end of human-generated content.

At Spheria, we believe humans will work with AI to better create, nurture and inspire.

By giving life to their Personal AI, they will give exclusive access to what makes them unique: their life stories, skills, and experiences. We are preparing for a future where humans browse other humans’ minds with the help of AI.

That’s why we are building Spheria.

What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?

 Doing B2C marketing in a world where people crave B2B use cases is rather difficult. But we’re starting to see some positive traction nonetheless which is reassuring. In the beginning, most of our users were wondering: “Why would I need a Personal AI?”
Now, they are the ones offering us their relevant use cases.

How do people get involved/buy into your vision?

 We’d love to see entrepreneurs, product makers and creators create their own AI with Spheria and provide us with feedback. We are in early access and are welcoming any feedback that would help us fulfilling our vision. Many thanks!
