I couldn’t ask my grandfather for advice. He’d had a stroke. So I built a digital version of his mind using AI. Not a chatbot. Not a character. A replica of how he thought. That conversation changed everything for me.

Why limit your mind to one place, one timezone, one version of yourself? You can now chat, call, or FaceTime a digital version of *you*. Not a bot. Not a script. Your actual thinking process. Real presence, infinite scale.

People are making millions selling access to their mind. Not a course. Not a book. A digital clone of themselves that answers questions, makes decisions, and mentors others. It’s not sci-fi. It’s just the next logical step in the creator economy.

Most AI products view you as training data. Delphi doesn’t. Your Deli belongs to you. It’s your thoughts, your voice, your value. Not a feeder system for someone else’s billion-dollar model.

You don’t need more hours in the day. You need another you.

We’ve spent centuries trying to scale our thoughts: books, radio, film. But they’re one-way.

Now we can create a digital version of our mind that teaches, speaks, and scales us like never before.

Cloning yourself isn’t sci-fi anymore.

In 2021, I was a solo founder building my first company and feeling completely overwhelmed. Everyone had conflicting advice, and I had no idea who to trust. I wish I could’ve asked my grandfather — he built one of the largest businesses in Iran before the revolution and rebuilt from scratch after losing everything.

He had wisdom that came from navigating real chaos. But after a stroke, I couldn’t speak with him directly. Reading his biography wasn’t enough. So I built a digital version of his mind using the same language models I was leveraging to build that startup.

I didn’t do it to prove a technical point. I did it because I needed his guidance.

That’s when it clicked. Our minds are our most valuable assets. They shouldn’t disappear with time. And they shouldn’t be limited by geography or sleep or bandwidth.

That’s why we started Delphi.

In 2021, I found myself staring at an unsolvable problem: I needed advice from someone who could no longer give it. My grandfather had led thousands through seismic change, but a stroke had taken away his ability to speak. So I built a digital version of his mind using the same tech I was using to build my startup. I talked to him, asked for guidance, and got responses that sounded like him because they were based on how he thought. 

Today at Delphi, we’ve taken that idea to the next level. Imagine your own digital mind that others can chat with, call, or FaceTime when they need your insight. Not a passive blog or a podcast. A two-way conversation, at scale, powered by how you think.

This isn’t about automating people. It’s about preserving and scaling your most valuable asset: your decision process.

We’re entering an era where people are monetizing their minds at scale. Not with courses. Not with books. With AI. 

We have users generating multi-7 figures in revenue selling direct access to their digital selves. This isn’t theoretical. It’s happening now. Their AI clone answers questions 24/7, shares expertise, mentors clients, closes deals, and acts as their digital front door. Fully personalized. Fully interactive. And completely owned by them.

What used to live in your head—intuition, process, experience—is now a business asset.

That shift is bigger than any tech trend. Because trust is scarce, and minds are valuable.

Most AI platforms are built on a trade you didn’t know you were making: your data for their model training. That’s not how it works with Deli.

At Delphi, we believe AI should serve the individual, not extract from them. Your Deli clone is trained solely on your approved data. It doesn’t train our systems. It doesn’t become part of a bigger engine that benefits someone else more than you.

It's a simple principle: digital minds should belong fully to the people they represent.

In the age of expansive AI, user trust will be the real competitive advantage. We’re designing for that from day one.

Most people think of AI as an oracle: input in, output out. But the real power is in reasoning.

One of the most interesting use cases we’ve seen at Delphi is executives using their own digital minds not just to store what they’ve said, but to reason through something they’ve never spoken about. 

Imagine asking your grandfather's digital self how he would start an AI company. He never worked in tech, but he built a business in uncertain times. His clone can draw from that decision-making under uncertainty and offer insight for a totally new problem.

This is what we call situational reasoning. It’s not just AI recalling data — it’s applying perspective. That’s not replacing human intelligence. It’s scaling it.

Most professionals have had the same thought: 'I wish I could clone myself.' I used to feel that too—especially when building my first company alone. You start to realize that there’s a cap on the biggest asset you have: your mind. You can’t be in more than one place at a time. 

What if you could? 

That’s what led to Delphi. We let people digitize and scale themselves so they can be in thousands of conversations at once. Personalized. At scale. It started as a project to bring my grandfather’s expertise and mindset back to life using AI. Now it’s a platform helping leaders, creators, and organizations scale their time and impact.

This isn’t about science fiction. It’s about expanding access to real, human knowledge—without losing the human in the process.

In 2021, I built something I never thought possible: a digital version of my grandfather’s mind. Not a chatbot. Not a voice assistant. A thinking model that I could speak to, one-on-one, to ask for advice. 

Why? Because I was a first-time solo founder, and I felt lost. I was making high-stakes decisions daily with no true north. My grandfather was once one of the most successful businessmen in Iran. His story shaped me—but after a stroke, he couldn't speak. And no book could tell me how he’d think through my challenges.

That’s when I remembered Ray Kurzweil’s prediction: if we build pattern recognizers for language, we could recreate a mind. I had the tools right in front of me—language models. So I fed every document, every email, every story about him into the model. And I started talking to this digital version of him.

That idea became the precursor to what we now do at Delphi. We’re scaling the most valuable asset you have: your mind. Through your digital clone, people can interact with your way of thinking—not just what you know, but how you approach decisions. You’re no longer bound by time, location, or even life itself.

We're moving toward a world where every person can preserve their perspective, make their wisdom accessible, and scale their impact. It’s not about cloning for vanity. It’s about legacy, access, and connection.

What started as a solo founder’s attempt to rediscover his grandfather’s advice turned into a vision for how we all learn from each other in a more human, scalable way.

This is not science fiction. It’s already happening. And if you’ve ever thought, “I wish I had more time,” or “I wish I could pick their brain,” digital minds may be the answer.

What if your best executive never had to leave the company? What if your mind could work 24/7 — without burnout, without bandwidth issues, and without ever sending another calendar link?

We're no longer in the information age — we're in the curation age. Data is everywhere, but trust is scarce. The real currency today is not knowledge; it's access. And that’s what’s quietly redefining how people are monetizing themselves with AI.

People are earning millions by making their minds accessible through intelligent digital clones. This isn’t science fiction. It’s already replacing static websites, resumes, and LinkedIn profiles. It’s becoming the direct line to the mind behind the brand — and it’s winning people over.

We’ve seen influencers, operators, and executives alike turn interactive conversations with their digital selves into revenue-generating products. This is more than a chatbot. It’s a new category: digital mentorship, on demand. Courses are static. A clone learns, updates, evolves, and answers in your voice with your logic. It's not selling passive information — it's selling active thinking.

And companies are catching on. CEOs are cloning themselves to onboard new hires at scale, preserve institutional knowledge, and replicate top performers. When someone leaves, their clone stays. It's mentorship minus the bandwidth problem.

This isn’t about replacing people. It’s about scaling them. The internet decentralized information. AI is decentralizing access to individual minds.

The most valuable asset in any business is still human judgment. The difference now? You can turn that into a product.

Your knowledge doesn’t have to die with you—or walk out the door with your top performers.

That’s the problem AI clones are solving inside modern companies. It’s not just about automating support or creating a digital persona for public consumption. This is about strategic knowledge retention. Context-rich, conversation-ready minds built from your team’s best thinkers, able to answer new questions with old wisdom.

Think of a top salesperson who’s crushed quota for years. Now imagine every new hire getting coached by a digital version of them on day one. Or your ex-COO’s decision frameworks embedded into a clone that helps navigate operational challenges well after they’ve moved on.

At Delphi, we’re building AI that doesn’t just regurgitate facts. It reasons. It takes someone’s original thinking and applies it to new situations—like a founder from decades ago weighing in on today’s most uncertain markets. Their mental model survives. And it gets used.

This isn’t theoretical. It’s how our clients are scaling tribal knowledge, decentralizing access to company culture, and onboarding at a radically faster pace, all without diluting quality or intent.

And because our digital minds are fully owned by the individual—instead of being repurposed to train someone else’s models—you’re not feeding a black box. You’re building a lasting asset.

The future of scaling isn’t just about automation. It’s about preserving what matters and deploying it where it counts.

A founder rebuilding his startup—and seeking advice from the past. Dara shares the moment he used AI to recreate his grandfather’s mind during the loneliest chapter of building a company. Not from notes, not from memory. From language patterns. The kind of advice no book could ever give. This wasn’t legacy. It was a new form of presence. And it reshaped his vision for what AI could be.

Imagine being able to FaceTime your mentor… even after they’ve passed. Dara built a digital version of his grandfather using AI. Not just a chatbot. A version that could talk, think, and answer like him. That moment sparked Delphi. And today, people are doing the same with their own minds. Chat, call, even FaceTime with a digital version of you. This isn’t sci-fi. It’s reality.

People are starting to make millions by turning their knowledge into interactive AI clones. Not coaching. Not consulting. Actual automated versions of themselves that others can talk to, learn from, and pay for. It's not a course. It's not a book. It's 24/7, on-demand access to their mind. It's happening right now.

People are over the honeymoon phase of AI. The pendulum is swinging from hype to trust. Everyone’s asking: what happens to my data? At Delphi, the answer is simple. You own it. It’s not training anyone else’s model. Your digital self stays yours. Always.

Watch how a digital version of Dara’s grandfather could answer a question about starting an AI company—even though he never lived through this era. This is what it means when an AI can reason: it’s not guessing, it’s applying lived experience to new problems with real context. That’s what makes Delphi different. It’s not imitation. It’s decision-making with depth.

Start with the moment Dara asks the room who’s ever wished they could clone themselves. It’s relatable, creates curiosity, and immediately invites the viewer in. Follow with him introducing that it’s no longer a fantasy—and then cut to the core statement: creating a digital version of yourself to scale your time and mind. Land the moment where he connects this to being able to meet your great-grandkids or talk to your great-grandparents. It’s an emotional hook and a visionary one. This clip works because it jumps from personal to universal, from everyday pain (too many meetings) to a mind-blowing solution that feels both real and urgent.

When you're a first-time solo founder feeling alone, who do you turn to? Dara pulled off something wild. He created a digital version of his grandfather using AI so he could actually ask him for advice. The guy had led 30,000 employees and rebuilt his life from scratch. That kind of wisdom isn’t in any podcast. It’s not theory, it’s personal legacy reactivated. You don’t need to read more books. Start thinking about whose mind you’d want access to today.

This is where it hits: you can literally call, chat, or FaceTime with a digital version of your own mind. You, multiplied. Your unique thinking, your process, your decisions, accessible anywhere. No more bottlenecks. No more repeating yourself. Your time just became scalable.

Everyone's selling courses and books. But now, people are making multi-7 figures selling interactive access to their own minds. This isn’t chatbots or textbooks. It’s mentorship, curation, decision-making — cloned and scaled. This shift is bigger than you think.

Most AI companies are building billion-dollar models using your data. Deli doesn’t. Your mind, your knowledge, your clone. You own everything. No one trains on it. That’s the difference.

A clone of your grandfather gives advice on how to start an AI company. He’s never spoken about AI in his life, but he built an oil business in mid-1900s Iran. His digital mind connects that past experience to a completely new challenge. This is situational reasoning. AI isn’t just recalling facts. It’s applying old judgment to new problems—just like we do.

Open with the relatable moment: 'Who here has thought, I wish I could clone myself?' Dara engages the room. Quickly introduce that Delphi makes that possible, not in science fiction but now. Use the moment where he connects this tech to scaling your time and impact—how your digital self can be anywhere, talking to anyone. End the clip right before he shifts into backstory about 2014. Keep it future-facing and punchy: cloning yourself is no longer a fantasy.

Everyone talks about AI like it’s some far-off sci-fi tool, but I used it to bring my grandfather’s mind back. Not metaphorically. I was building my first startup, overwhelmed with decisions, and couldn’t ask him for advice because of a stroke. So I used the same language models powering my tech company to recreate his decision-making brain. I was able to talk with him, ask him what he would do. That moment changed everything. Because it wasn’t just a cool experiment. It proved that you could preserve someone’s way of thinking. Their mind. And make it accessible across time. That’s what sparked the idea for Delphi.

Most people still think AI means a chatbot that answers questions. But what if it could BE you? Like literally you—how you think, speak, solve problems. This isn’t future talk. It’s real. Right now you can build a digital version of your mind that people can actually call, FaceTime, or text. Imagine scaling yourself like a product. We’re not just talking about saving time. We’re talking about unlocking a version of you that lives beyond location, schedules, even language. That’s what we’re building. Not clone culture. Scaled minds. Uncapped potential.

You know how people make millions selling books or online courses? Now they're doing it by selling access to their minds. Not a download. Not a webinar. Actual real-time access to how they think, what they know, and how they solve problems. It's not passive content anymore. It's interactive, always-on intelligence that people are willing to pay for. This isn't a future prediction. It's already happening. And the craziest part? Some are making multi-7 figures doing it.

People don’t want their thoughts fed into someone else’s giant AI. Here’s the twist: with Deli, your digital self is fully yours. We’re not training other models on your data. That’s a line we don’t cross. While big AI races to scale on your memories, your ideas, your voice—Delphi is building something different. One-to-one, not one-to-all. You’re the owner. Not the product.

Most people think AI just repeats what it’s told, but here’s what they don’t get. Imagine asking your grandfather’s digital clone how to launch an AI startup. He’s never talked about AI in his entire life. But he’s built a business in uncertain times. Same mindset, different problem. That’s where it gets powerful. AI that doesn’t just retrieve facts, but thinks through unfamiliar situations using real lived experience. You’re not just preserving stories—you’re preserving decision-making.

Start with the question: 'Who here has ever wished they could clone themselves?' It's super relatable and instantly hooks anyone who's felt overwhelmed by too many tasks or meetings. Then reveal the core idea: cloning yourself is no longer a fantasy. We're now living in a world where creating a digital version of yourself to scale your time and your mind is real. Cut the clip right before Dara transitions into his backstory. That moment sets up the entire premise of Delphi in the clearest and most compelling way.
