What if LLMs could learn your habits and preferences well enough (across any context!) to anticipate your needs?. In a new paper, we present the General User Model (GUM): a model of you built from just your everyday computer use. 🧵

🚨 70 million US workers are about to face their biggest workplace transmission due to AI agents. But nobody asks them what they want. While AI races to automate everything, we took a different approach: auditing what workers want vs. what AI can do across the US workforce.🧵

I’m excited about a ton of future directions:. - powering a new class of interactive apps.- helping collect prefs for LLMs.- managing / unifying context for human-computer grounding.- privacy privacy privacy esp. with closed models. If you're interested in these, reach out!.
