Personal AI Could Replace Platform Algorithms

Riley Brown argues that a personal AI could sit between users and social platforms, curating videos, posts, and information around their goals rather than maximizing engagement. The concept reframes AI as an intentional information-diet manager.

// ANALYSIS

The compelling opportunity is not another content feed, but a user-controlled layer that negotiates with every existing feed.

–Explicit goals could outweigh passive engagement signals
–Cross-platform curation could reduce dependence on siloed recommendation systems
–The system would need strong controls against reinforcing personal blind spots
–Privacy and platform API access are major barriers to execution
–The winning product may be an agent that filters attention, not generates more content
