Cerebras CEO says we’re nearing a future where everyone has a personal AI assistant at home

Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman said at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 that a future where everyone has a personal AI assistant at home is not far off. He pointed to consumer AI agents like Meta’s Muse and the startup Instinct as signs that AI is gaining traction with everyday users. Feldman predicted these home assistants will run locally, doing some work on-device and some in the cloud, while getting to know their users well, operating within a security perimeter, and being able to access credit cards to make purchases. He said such assistants will meaningfully improve lives. Feldman noted that he personally uses a collection of AI agents to manage his calendar and research people he will speak with, and that he is most excited about new possibilities AI enables that were not possible before. However, he said he prefers building infrastructure platforms that others can build consumer ideas on, leaving the consumer-facing concepts to other founders.
