I was taught that my life trajectory would include learning about the world until a certain age, and then apply those learnings to become a useful member of society throughout the rest of my life.
At no point was there a conversation about how to keep learning about learning and the importance of changing my abilities to keep pace with the world around me.
AI shatters this concept and creates space for unlimited upskilling in areas of my life I never considered possible. In the past year, that has meant becoming a full-time software developer. No longer limited by my impatience for writing software line by line, instead I build complexity by endlessly iterating and improving tools for myself and others.
The most exciting of these apps has been Signals, our generative approach for scanning signals of change.
Integrated with Envisioning and our incredible data visualization tools, our platform takes you from a few inputs to a complete overview of signals affecting the future of your organization in minutes.
Data is collected from multiple AI models, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Google, DeepSeek and Perplexity, and taken through an enrichment and validation process to help you see everything that is out there and prioritize on where to act.
This Thursday (April 24) I’m hosting a quick Webinar to showcase the platform.
At 10 CET in English and 14 BRT in Portuguese.
Next session is May 8 at 19 CET.
Between Lu.ma and LinkedIn, we have over 150 registrations this Thursday, and would love to see you there!
The tool is interesting mainly for futurist and innovation researchers who want to leverage AI in their work. We’re still developing the business model, and are looking for a handful of agencies and consultancies to partner with in testing the platform. LMK if that’s you.
Everyone joining the Webinars will receive access to a customized generative Radar.
We want to get facilitators and practitioners from the community involved early in the design process to make sure this approach serves us all.
Until next week,
MZ

AI + XR (16 min)
Presentation by Google's Shahram Izadi about their efforts in XR+AI. Exciting! I'm incredibly impressed. Had seen clips from this on X during the week, but this demo is amazing. Helpful AI + Lightweight XR = Augmented Intelligence.
Google undercutting everyone
