"Generative AI advances inspired his next project, which he calls "the highest bar" for the technology: replicating human beings with their life stories and personality. In 2024, he founded and self-funded, Eternos, a legacy service that allows people to preserve their voice and stories for loved ones after they pass away. Now, it's got a new name and modified mission."
"Eternos developed the Human Life Model (HLM) - a framework that uses only an individual's data, rather than general LLM data, to capture their unique values, life story, and decision-making traits. LoCascio saw an opportunity to use this technology to help individuals create personal AIs for professional and personal use. The company announced Tuesday it has rebranded as Uare.ai and raised $10.3 million in seed funding led by Mayfield and Boldstart Ventures."
Robert LoCascio left LivePerson in 2023 and in 2024 founded Eternos, later rebranded Uare.ai, to create personal AI replicas that preserve individuals' voices, stories, values and decision-making traits. The company developed the Human Life Model (HLM) to train models using only an individual's data rather than broad LLM datasets. Early interest included a terminally ill client who spent 25 hours sharing life details to create a digital replica. Demand extended beyond end-of-life use. Uare.ai raised $10.3 million in seed funding to build a platform that lets personal AIs generate content, handle interactions, execute projects, and be owned or monetized by their creators.
