As artificial intelligence becomes more embedded in daily life, two University of Miami College of Arts and Sciences seniors think the technology is heading in the wrong direction, getting bigger, more centralized, and further from the people who actually use it. Their startup, Textile, is built on a different idea.
Founded by Alexandr Kim and Ethan Tieu, Textile is building an on-device AI system that helps people organize, search, and make sense of sensitive personal documents, without ever sending that information to an outside server. Everything runs locally on the user's laptop. No Wi-Fi is required after the user downloads Textile.
