We want to hear how you're using personal AI agents

Personal AI agents are the latest hype in Silicon Valley. Business Insider wants to hear from you about how you're using the tools.

Personal AI agents are becoming increasingly popular despite the potential risks they pose. According to Business Insider, AI experts warn that these powerful tools could have catastrophic consequences for humanity. Despite these concerns, users can easily download and utilize these agents, providing them with access to personal data such as emails, texts, calendars, and bank accounts.

One such example is Meta's Muse, which quickly became the top-ranked AI agent in Apple's App Store following its recent launch. Another notable personal AI agent is Instinct, an independent startup that gained significant traction in Silicon Valley during August. While some users express concerns about the level of autonomy and control granted to these agents, many embrace the convenience they offer.

Business Insider invites readers to share their experiences and opinions on the use of these innovative yet potentially risky tools through a survey.
