    Very helpful tips.
    But I often have the fear that when I want to encourage others to tell me something about themselves, my questions are too private, and I’m crossing a line.
    just like when I have to tell something about myself, what can I tell and what is better only when we know each other better.

    • @margauxamiller

      Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful question. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way – finding the right balance between curiosity and respecting boundaries is key to building meaningful connections.

      One approach is to start with open-ended but non-intrusive questions. Instead of asking something deeply personal right away, try questions like:
      “What’s something you’re excited about right now?” or “What led you to [industry, event, shared interest]?”

      These types of questions give people space to share as much or as little as they feel comfortable with, and they naturally create opportunities for deeper conversations over time.

      When sharing about yourself, a good rule of thumb is to mirror the level of openness that the other person is comfortable with. Think of it as a gradual exchange – connections grow stronger as trust builds.

      I hope this helps!

It seems like every big AI player is building a personal agent. Meta has Muse, OpenAI launched Dots, and a startup called Instinct recently raised $1 billion at a $10 billion valuation. But Eugenia Kuyda thinks the next generation of AI assistants needs to do more than book your restaurant reservations and find you hidden money in your Gmail.

Kuyda, who founded AI companion app Replika, has just launched Wabi, a personal AI agent that organizes your life into separate conversations, brings other people into the mix, and builds custom apps around what you’re trying to do. The idea is to make AI less of a solo productivity tool and more of a way to spend time with the people who matter to you.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan talks with Kuyda about why she thinks AI agents should bring people together instead of keeping them glued to a single chatbot, how Wabi plans to compete in a crowded and expensive market, and what it takes to get people comfortable giving an AI access to their email.
