## The Purpose of This Project

**PAI exists to solve what I believe is the [P0 problem](https://danielmiessler.com/telos) in the world:**

### Only a tiny fraction of humanity's creative potential is activated on Earth.

Most people don't believe they have valuable contributions to make. They think there are "special" people—and they aren't one of them. They've never asked who they are, what they're about, and have never articulated or written it down. This makes them catastrophically vulnerable to AI displacement. Without activation, there is no high-agency.

So our goal with PAI is to activate people.

**PAI's mission is twofold:**

1. **Activate as many people as possible** — Help people identify, articulate, and pursue their own purpose in life through AI-augmented self-discovery
2. **Make the best AI available in the world accessible to everyone** — Ensure this quality of AI infrastructure isn't reserved for just the rich or technical elite.

That's why this is an open-source project instead of private.
