Software Engineer (Early Career)

Role Summary

Uare.ai, founded by Robert LoCascio (former CEO of LivePerson for 28 years), is an AI startup launched in May 2024 with a mission to empower people to do more with their memories. Uare.ai creates AI-driven personal digital twins, enabling users to preserve, share, and interact with their knowledge and stories in groundbreaking ways.

At its core is the proprietary Human Life Model (HLM), designed to process unstructured conversations and story data sets without training client data into traditional LLMs. Instead, Uare.ai leverages 3rd-party LLMs for conversations, with HLM providing structure and reasoning.

While initially focused on personal legacy and AI immortality, Uare.ai’ platform has broad B2C and B2B applications. The company has gained significant traction, featured in over 30 outlets including NBC, NPR, The New York Post, and CNET.
