💥 UPDATES (September 12, 2025)

• Just uploaded my new dynamic resource loading system to /hooks and /commands
• It works by leveraging the submit-user-hook to dynamically load context and agents
• The file that handles dynamic routing is /commands/load-dynamic-requirements.md
• The file is loaded through the hooks in settings.json, specifically the submit-user-prompt hooks
• That hook points to /hooks/load-dynamic-requirements.ts, which loads /commands/load-dynamic-requirements.md

💥 UPDATES (September 10, 2025)

• Initial creation of the repo and loading of the base content

🎯 What is PAI?

PAI is a project designed to give anyone in the world a personal AI infrastructure for orchestrating their personal and professional lives.

Based off my own personal Digital Assistant, Kai, it combines a scaffolding framework with a growing set of real-world examples.

🧠 Life Management Research • Writing • Health • Finances

💼 Professional Code • Content • Analytics • Automation Department Management • Program Management • Startups

🎯 Personal Learning • Family • Goals • Habits

💡 Core Mission: Augment humans with AI capabilities so they can survive and thrive in a world full of AI.

🚀 Getting Started

📢 Note: Lots more examples and templates coming soon, including the full voice implementation. This repo will be continuously updated with real-world implementations from my YouTube channel.

Quick Start

One thing to note is that when you download the project, the.Claude directory is hidden by default because it's a dot directory. So cd into .claude when you're done with the instructions.

cd .claude

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/danielmiessler/PAI.git

# 2. Check out the files (the folder is hidden with default `ls`)

ls -lah
cd ~/.claude/
ls -lah

Prerequisites

• Claude Code - The primary AI interface, which can be any similar system
• Text editor (any will work - it's all Markdown/Text!)
• Ideal: Basic command line familiarity

💡 Philosophy

Human 3.0: Augmentation, Not Replacement

The PAI system embodies a fundamental belief: AI should amplify human capability, not replace it.

Traditional AI	PAI Approach
Black box decisions	Transparent, file-based logic
Vendor lock-in	Completely portable
Forgets everything	Persistent memory
Generic responses	Personalized to you
Replaces thinking	Augments capability

📚 Examples

Coming soon! Each example will include:

• Complete file structure

Planned Examples

"This is YOUR infrastructure. Every configuration, every tool, every workflow should serve your unique life and goals. You're not using AI—you're augmenting yourself with it."
