Build Your Company Brain Workshop
Two hours, live, building a company brain from scratch with Austin Distel.
Your AI does not have a capability problem. It has a context problem. A company brain is plain files in a folder your team already owns, read by an AI that knows how to route a question to the right one.
The folder we handed out and the prompt that runs the setup are both on the same page here: https://os.agenticsociety.com/company-brain

For those who want join the online Agentic Society membership to join our next 90 day sprint, details and links to pricing and how to join can be found here: https://agenticsociety.com/pricing
