In this episode of An Hour of Innovation podcast, host Vit Lyoshin sits down with Rob LoCascio, founder of LivePerson and creator of Uare.ai (Formerly Eternos), to explore how artificial intelligence can be used not to replace us, but to remember us.

Rob shares the fascinating story behind his company building AI avatars that capture your voice, knowledge, and decision-making patterns to create a deeply personal digital version of you. They discuss the emotional first test case of a terminally ill man who spoke with his AI self, the future of human-centered AI, and what it means to leave a lasting digital legacy. The conversation also dives into Rob’s journey from inventing web chat in 1997 to pioneering conversational AI, his lessons from decades as an entrepreneur, and his vision for ethical, purpose-driven innovation.

After nearly three decades leading innovation in customer experience and AI, he launched Uare.ai (Formerly Eternos), an AI platform focused on preserving human stories and memories through personalized AI models.
