TinyCloud Vision

  • Decentralized Data Control: TinyCloud’s mission is to enable individuals to control their data across the web. The company is developing decentralized infrastructure to give users ownership of their data, allowing them to permit access on a case-by-case basis.

  • AI Wearables and SaaS Tooling: Samuel identifies significant market potential in AI wearables and AI SaaS tooling, estimating a combined market value nearing a trillion dollars. TinyCloud aims to develop a protocol for interoperability of AI wearable data.

Product Development

  • Private AI Personal Knowledge Base: The initial product is a private, AI-enabled personal knowledge base that integrates data from sources like AI pendants, emails, and meeting notes. This system allows users to manage their data privately and securely.

  • Autograph Software: TinyCloud uses a tool called “autograph” to transform unstructured data into a knowledge graph, enhancing data interoperability and composability.

Data Privacy and Security

  • TinyCloud emphasizes data privacy by allowing users to control data access via cryptographic permissions. Users sign messages to grant permissions, with a security framework supported by cryptographic protocols and MPC (Multi-Party Computation) networks.

Personal Vision

  • Samuel Gbafa is enthusiastic about applying crypto values to AI, prioritizing privacy and data ownership. He sees TinyCloud as an extension of oneself, focusing on secure data management.

Collaborations and Exploration

  • Samuel Gbafa indicates ongoing discussions and potential collaborations with hardware partners to develop AI wearables.

  • He is exploring partnerships with Delphi and other ventures to further develop and fund TinyCloud.
