Inflection AI has launched Inflection AI Labs, an initiative focused on personal intelligence experimentation and research. The lab's first experiment is Pi Journeys, which helps users navigate different life phases by adapting to their relationships and priorities. Pi Journeys uses new approaches to memory and fine-tuning based on AI usage pattern research. It personalises experiences around users' life stages, whether they're becoming parents, changing careers, or managing households. Inflection AI Labs will publish ongoing research on personal intelligence. Its first State of Consumer AI Research Report found that average AI consumers use roughly two different AI tools daily and three weekly. Respondents wanted AI to function as coaches, chefs, or DJs rather than just productivity tools, prioritising personalisation, emotional understanding, and context awareness.

Inflection AI is shaping the future of Personal Intelligence. Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence PALO ALTO, Calif., July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Inflection AI announced today the launch of Inflection AI Labs, an initiative dedicated to shaping the future of personal intelligence. The first Inflection AI Labs experiment is Pi Journeys, a new experience that helps people navigate through different life phases. Inflection AI pioneered the category of personal intelligence, and today marks the company's next chapter in defining what that category can become. Time & Calendars Inflection AI Labs serves as the company's engine for public experimentation and research. Among the first experiments from Inflection AI Labs is Pi Journeys, which was built with new approaches to memory and fine tuning based on insights developed from research into AI usage patterns. Pi Journeys is designed to meet people where they are in life. It helps them stay connected to the people and priorities that matter most with AI-supported tools that take their contacts and relationships into account. Unlike generalized AI assistants, Pi Journeys shapes itself and personalizes the experience around a person's needs and life stage. Whether someone is becoming a parent, a caregiver, making a career change, embracing aging, managing a household, or navigating everyday life, Pi Journeys serves as a genuine partner that grows with them. In addition to incubating new experimental technologies and products, Inflection AI Labs will publish ongoing research and technical papers on what personal intelligence looks like in practice. The first report is the State of Consumer AI Research Report, which includes new findings on how consumers use AI, and what they want from it: * The average AI consumer reports using roughly 2 different AI tools every day, and 3 per week. * When asked what future AI capabilities would be most valuable, people said they want more than a productivity tool. A few of the ways people said they want AI to help them include as a coach or mentor to motivate, a chef to suggest recipes, or a DJ to curate a playlist. * People reported choosing to use an AI based on values including: personalization, style and tone, context awareness, and emotional understanding. The findings show that consumers are looking for multiple AI tools to help them in different parts of their lives, and that AI should be a relational tool, not just a transactional one. These insights are directly shaping how Inflection AI builds emotionally intelligent AI. "We're focused on building human-centered AI that understands you, knows what matters to you, makes you more capable, brings you closer to the people in your life, and helps you navigate your everyday life," said Sean White, CEO of Inflection AI. "Our approach brings together state of the art AI capabilities combined with emotional, agentic and relational intelligence to shape AI to be more relational than transactional. Three years ago, we pioneered personal intelligence with one of the first foundation models and an adaptive conversational interface designed to meet you where you are, with text or voice, that learns and adapts with you through every interaction - not the other way around. We're continuing to build AI that benefits humanity and gives people more agency." Engineering & Technology "Humans should be amplified by AI, not replaced. That's the principle Pi was built on," said Reid Hoffman, Co-Founder of Inflection AI. "Every general-purpose technology in history, from the printing press to the automobile, gave people new superpowers. Personal intelligence is the next one, and this time everyone gets it. When that kind of agency is available to everyone, you get superagency. Pi helps you cultivate your better self, and that's something no replacement technology can do." Alongside Inflection AI Labs and Pi Journeys, Pi, the world's first personal intelligence, has an updated product experience with improvements to voice, conversation, and memory, plus new tools for reminders, to-do lists, and shopping. All of it runs on the Inflection AI stack orchestrated across custom fine-tuned models. The result is the same Pi people have come to rely on, personal intelligence that adapts to them, now more capable. About Inflection AI Inflection AI is a Public Benefit Corporation with the mission to harness the power of AI to improve human well-being and productivity. Inflection AI is empowering people and brands with human-centered, emotionally intelligent AI that transforms interactions from transactional to relational.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer talks AI at LTW 2026. 8 June 2026 At London Tech Week (LTW) 2026, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer pledged an AI-powered future for all of Britain. Addressing attendees during his keynote, Starmer set out the ambitious future for a tech-focused UK, because, he said, "it is coming". During his address, it was clear that artificial intelligence is and must be more than an economic opportunity. It must be a political choice. One that the prime minister says his government intends to make in favour of working people across the whole country. Ensuring longevity and safety of the tech and the people on the receiving end of it. Britain's tech standing. Britain is the third-largest technology economy in the world, with its startups raising nearly half of all European tech investment this year. A "profound achievement" that belongs to the entrepreneurs and innovators, many of whom were in the room. This growth is deliberate. Companies such as Inflection AI, which is expanding its operations in Britain and creating 1,000 jobs over the next three years, and AMD, which announced it is investing £2 billion in the UK over the next five years, are just two examples, Starmer said, of the global confidence being placed in British talent. The government isn't blindly grabbing for a tech future UK for headlines' sake, it is actively simplifying regulation, attracting global talent through a new taskforce, unlocking pension and insurance capital, and opening trade routes worldwide. There is only one path for the future of technology. There are, said Starmer, three possible responses to the AI revolution. Britain could ignore it entirely, an option he dismissed immediately. Or, it could strip away all guardrails and let the market run unchecked, risking concentrated wealth, community displacement, and an unsafe online environment for children. Or, thirdly, he said, it could pursue what he called the "Labour approach", which is backing British businesses to create the jobs and technologies of the future, while ensuring the rewards are felt in communities across the country, not just in a handful of boardrooms or postcodes. And it is this path that requires an active industrial strategy. Where government is not just a regulator, but a partner. A major new investment in AI infrastructure. Sovereign computing capability is key to the UK's future. This includes a commitment to purchase specialist AI chips worth approximately £400 million, to provide a generational opportunity for Britain's most promising AI startups. Alongside this, the government announced it will scale up its existing AI computing systems into a national capability, feeding into a broader multi-billion-pound infrastructure programme. This way, Starmer argues, the future implementation of technology capability is deliberate and not left to chance, enabling the UK to build the foundations. Skills, jobs, and communities. Addressing the workers and communities anxious about what AI means for their futures, Starmer said to progress against a target set at last year's Tech Week, which was to equip 7.5 million workers with AI training by 2030. He reported that 1.7 million people have already received that training within the year. He also announced a new AI Job Coach tool designed to help unemployed people find work, update their CVs, and re-enter the workforce by way of a practical illustration of his argument that AI must be made to serve ordinary people. Starmer argued that the real prize of this technological revolution is community renewal: new investment, new skilled jobs, and new hope in areas that have felt left behind. His message, ultimately, was that Britain's task is to take the reins and lead on its future. Keep up to date with the most important news.
