📝 Abstract
A personal AI system needs a model of the user's goals, constraints, and ongoing commitments to plan and act on their behalf, and the quality of that model is bounded by what the system can observe. Broader observation does not by itself improve assistance because a bounded system must select and compress information for the task at hand. We argue that this observation bottleneck has a cooperative structure: the system builds a partial model of the user's changing life, the user evaluates its actions, and the user's consent and control shape what it can observe next. Useful and inspectable behavior can give users a reason to maintain or expand the observation channel, while failures can lead them to correct, narrow, revoke, or abandon it. We use the term cooperative observation for this feedback loop among usefulness, trust, and future access, and propose it as a framework for personal intelligence. We report a preliminary single-subject account from Organizm, a prototype used over six months, and outline evaluation directions for measuring how observation quality shapes personal AI.
