Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman believes personal AI assistants could become a common household staple within a few years.

Speaking at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Feldman said, "Actually, I don’t think that’s very far away." He pointed to consumer AI agents like Meta’s Muse and Instinct, now valued at $10 billion, as evidence of AI’s growing integration into daily life.

Feldman predicted that future home AI assistants will operate both locally and in the cloud, similar to how smartphones function today. "Just like your cell phone, they’ll do some work on device and some work going back to the cloud," he explained.

These assistants would gain deep user knowledge and have access to sensitive data like credit card information, enabling them to perform tasks like purchasing items.

The CEO emphasized that AI is already handling many tasks that were once manual, but he is most excited about the new possibilities this technology enables. "I think they will make a meaningful impact in making our lives better," Feldman said.

He added that while he is focused on building the infrastructure for AI, other founders will determine how these tools are used in everyday life.

Feldman’s vision aligns with Cerebras’ focus on AI chip development, which supports the computational needs of advanced AI models. The company is not just working on hardware but also using AI in its own operations, as Feldman said he relies on "a collection of agents" to manage his schedule and information.

The announcement follows Cerebras’ ongoing efforts to advance AI infrastructure, which Feldman sees as essential for enabling widespread consumer adoption of agentic technology. He left the specifics of future applications to other founders, stating, "One of the reasons I love being in infrastructure is because I don’t need the consumer-facing idea."

Cerebras did not specify how soon these home AI assistants will be available, and Feldman acknowledged that the exact applications remain to be determined. "I like building the platforms that other people’s ideas take flight on," he concluded.
