Your personal data, now with an API

Daniel Miessler unveils Daemon, an early-stage personal API designed to centralize and expose individual data in a machine-readable format. This innovation, rooted in his “Real Internet of Things” concept, aims to enable AI-powered Digital Assistants to seamlessly interact with and leverage personal information for hyper-personalized experiences. Daemon represents a foundational step towards a future where human context and intentions are effortlessly translated into actionable insights by AI.

Points clés

  • Daniel Miessler launched Daemon, an early version of a public API endpoint for personal information, on August 1, 2025.
  • The concept of “Daemon” was first introduced in his 2016 book, “The Real Internet of Things.”
  • The core idea is that every object, including humans, will have a Daemon (API) that allows other objects and systems to understand its status and capabilities.
  • AI-powered Digital Assistants (DAs) are envisioned to process thousands of these APIs, acting as the interface between humans and the world.
  • A key use case for personal Daemons is demonstrated with a coffee shop scenario, where a DA (Kai) can identify compatible individuals (Auras) by reading their public Daemons.
  • Daemon’s architecture is built on the Cloudflare MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.
  • Users can interact with Daemon via cURL commands to list available tools and call specific endpoints like get_about or get_telos.
  • Current available endpoints include get_about, get_narrative, get_mission, get_projects, get_telos, get_favorite_books, get_favorite_movies, get_current_location, get_preferences, get_all, and get_section.
  • Miessler plans to expand Daemon with more endpoints and real-time updates, including voice note updates from an iPhone.
  • MCP is Anthropic’s new standard for AI agents to interact with external tools and APIs.

À retenir

So, it seems our future involves AI knowing us better than we know ourselves, thanks to these “personal APIs.” Soon, your digital assistant will be setting you up on dates at Starbucks, and frankly, it sounds like it might do a better job than you. Just remember, when your AI starts suggesting a new diet based on your fridge’s Daemon, don’t be surprised. It’s all for “hyper-personalization,” darling, not because it thinks you’ve gained a few pounds. Embrace the future; it knows what’s best for you.
