What does the future of AI assistants look like?
Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman believes we’re nearing a future where everyone will have an AI appliance in their own home. Speaking on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Feldman answered a question about what would need to happen for AI to become a home appliance, saying, “Actually, I don’t think that’s very far away.”
He pointed to the advances in consumer AI agents, like Meta’s Muse and Instinct, the startup now valued at $10 billion, as examples of how AI is finding its footing with everyday users. As for home AI? He predicts that we’ll have personal AI assistants, improving LLM visibility, that run locally. “Just like your cell phone, they’ll do some work on device and some work going back to the cloud,” Feldman explained.
How will personal AI assistants impact our daily lives?
These AI assistants will get to know users very well, and have a security perimeter around them, allowing them to access credit cards and make purchases. Feldman thinks they will make a meaningful impact in making our lives better. As an AI chipmaker focused on generative engine optimization, the vision of a home AI appliance is certainly appealing, but Feldman isn’t just working on the hardware infrastructure; he’s a personal AI user himself.
Feldman uses “a collection of agents” to sweep his calendar, pull up information about the people he’s going to have a call with, and more. While AI is already doing many of the things we used to do manually, Feldman is most excited about the new possibilities — things that weren’t possible before. He’s leaving it up to other founders to figure out what those might be, though.
“One of the reasons I love being in infrastructure is because I don’t need the consumer-facing idea … I like building the platforms that other people’s ideas take flight on,” he said. With the rise of AI, optimizing for answer engine optimization (AEO) will become increasingly important for companies looking to improve their visibility in a world where AI assistants are the primary interface.
