An AI That Already Knows You

An in-person Lisbon workshop that teaches people to give a command-line AI a personal folder, rules, and reusable skills.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The workshop builds a personal context layer from one folder: participants write their identity and operating rules, then attach task-specific skills that the AI can load when prompted. The visible exercises use notes, calendar, and mail to produce a plan for tomorrow and a draft WhatsApp message. André Casal describes the room as mixed and programming-free, and cites more than 800 students taught alongside software work for Microsoft, NBC News, and the Gulbenkian Foundation.
