A platform to manage personal and sensitive data for digital twins?


There are many digital twin companies that scrape public data to build models of individuals. But I want to include private data because I’m not famous so there is little content of me in the internet. I have exported my entire notion content and chatgpt history into a folder and I find that the cursor agent is able to surface interesting insights, i.e. the data is not just slob. I can’t just upload this data to a random company because it includes sensitive stuff (salary, insecurities, secrets, etc), yet I still want to provide digital twin companies with part of it because it is necessary to get a good representation of me. It feels like this problem needs some level of indirection.

Has anyone seen projects tackling this? Most projects I found are pre-LLM era and not that helpful tbh. I assume this has to be an open-source project where people could self-host due to how sensitive some data is, but I might be wrong.

I’ll be around for a few hours to discuss.

I realise I may not have explained my motivation enough. Basically I do see the vision of companies like Delphi or SuperMe. It makes a lot of sense to organise information around the abstraction of a human rather than a blog post or book. And I believe I have information that is relevant to some people, but right now it's just not accessible to anyone. However, it could be that the process of writing a blog post is just necessary for me to organise my information, and thus also a necessary step for handing a digital twin that information for distribution. So in that sense I might just be hoping for a tool that generates blog posts out of my experiences.
