The Purpose of AI: Amplifying Every Individual’s Potential
TL;DR: Benten is creating an open-source AI ecosystem with personalized Avatars and community Symbionts to amplify human potential, not replace it. This system aims to redefine AI as a partner in personal growth and collective problem-solving, fostering symbiotic development between humans and AI.
