Hoje estive à conversa com a @TSFRadio, no Negócios em Português.

Falámos dos 8 anos da LayerX e do que vem a seguir.

A pergunta que interessa já não é se a IA vai mudar as empresas. É quanto tempo cada uma vai esperar para começar.

O @hypermarioal esteve hoje à conversa com a @TSFRadio, no Negócios em Português.

Falou do caminho que a LayerX fez até aqui e do que vem a seguir. E deixou o convite: esta semana estamos na @WebSummit e na
@PT_TechWeek, por isso, se andarem por lá, venham ter connosco.

79 companies. 218 people. Two days in Braga.

At the @SpaceXSI Digital Transformation Lab, hosted on TAIKAI, a footwear manufacturer, a cork supplier, a textile mill and a paint factory each brought one real problem from work. They left with working AI prototypes.

For SpaceXSI, into SMEs with no AI team of their own.

Our new case study shows how it was built.

Back in March, our team submitted a formal proposal for #Devcon9 to be hosted in Portugal's capital, Lisbon.

Since then we've been lobbying for this to happen around the clock.

Live from Mumbai, we're so happy to share the official announcement:

Devcon 2027 will be in Lisbon!
The Lisbon Devcon push is real. We're taking the lobby work to Cannes during @EthCC.

Me, @pcbo, @onunoreis, @huvoliveira, @rmdmac and the @onchainlisbon team are hosting a casual get-together to move this forward. First round is on @ScopeLift.

Engineers still read datasheet PDFs one by one, sometimes measuring graphs with a ruler.

@MAKEIT_product built a fix in 48 hours at the @SpaceXSI Digital Transformation Lab on TAIKAI, supported by @IAPMEI, @StartupPortugal, and InvestBraga. 253 datasheets processed, 1st place out of 62 projects.

The best detail of any event is the people you build it with.

Thank you @SpaceXSI, @StartupPortugal,@IAPMEI and InvestBraga. We worked like a Swiss watch.

Congrats to all the SME teams who spent 2 days building with AI 🫡
That’s a wrap on the SpaceXAI Digital Transformation Lab! 🏆

215 people, 79 teams and two days of building at Fórum Braga.

Congrats to MAKE IT product R&D (1st), Erakulis (2nd), and ByTheLaw (3rd), and to every team that took on a real business challenge. Congrats @SpaceXSI, @Staand InvestBraga for bringing this to life. Onto the next one!

“Não somos uma empresa tecnológica.”

É a frase que mais ouço quando falo de hackathons com empresários.

É precisamente por isso que são para vocês. O empresário traz o problema, quem sabe construir traz a IA.

Escrevi sobre isto no The Next Big Idea. Link no comentário.

O meu primeiro ano na PwC foi a reconciliar folhas de cálculo e a formatar slides.

Hoje a IA faz isso melhor do que um júnior.

Só que era ali que se aprendia o ofício.

Se a IA ocupa o lugar do júnior, onde vão aprender os líderes de daqui a 10 anos?

Escrevi sobre isto na l. 👇

Entry-level work was never really about the work. It was where people learned the job.

So what happens when AI does it instead? @hypermarioal shares his view in his latest @HR_Portugal article.

Been using @instinct a lot and love it.
Biggest lesson: no need to use a huge AI Lab agent for it to be effective.
Five AI assistants launched in five months, but only two work in Portugal.

Google, Meta, OpenAI, xAI and Instinct (a startup growing fast) all shipped an assistant that does the work instead of describing it. Most of them haven’t reached Europe yet.

That gives companies here a at to delegate, and under whose rules.

We didn't win HackLayer 6, our internal hackathon at @LayerXlab.

But @ritafsim and myself shipped something we'll actually use: AI Mirror.

20 questions. 8 dimensions. Your AI archetype, closest peers and a 90-day plan.

Where does your company really stand on AI?

Halfway there. 💪

Teams are formed, ideas are taking shape and a few pivots have already happened.

Quick recharge, then back to building. Who's shipping what? We'll find out soon.
