Last Sunday we hosted a coding + matcha workshop with Sundai and it turned out even better than we expected. We brought together a room full of women who were curious about building, some just starting, some already technical, all willing to try. Instead of overcomplicating things, we focused on actually building: using AI tools, experimenting with ideas, and showing how quickly you can go from nothing to something real. What stood out wasn’t just what people built, but how fast the energy in the room shifted. A lot of people walk into these spaces thinking “I’m not technical enough” and leave realizing that’s no longer a real barrier. Also, matcha helped :) Huge thank you to the Sundai team, Gabriela Torres V., Maria Gorskikh for co-hosting and to everyone who showed up, built, asked questions, and supported each other. And Maritime team for giving out OpenClaw agents! We’re going to keep doing more of these. If you’ve been thinking about getting into AI, coding, or building something of your own, this is your sign. Check out the app we built with one cursor prompt: https://lnkd.in/eHrkmKQ7

Sundai and Womenx Innovators are hosting a relaxed, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to build your first AI agent. Instead of lectures, we’ll build together using new AI tools that allow anyone to prototype intelligent agents. What you’ll do: ✔️ Understand what an AI agent actually is ✔️ Build a simple AI agent step by step ✔️ Learn how non-coders can start creating with AI ✔️ Do it all while enjoying matcha with the community Learn fast, build fast, and explore new tools together. If you’ve been AI-curious but didn’t know where to start, this is the perfect entry point. 🔗 RSVP:https://lnkd.in/eiigDJHW Come build with us. #AI #AIAgents #WomenInnovators #SundAI

It was great having John Werner on our second anniversary. Full of energy and lots of stories that make us feel proud of driving innovation from Massachusetts! Thanks John!
I was proud to be one of the keynote speakers at Sundai's two-year anniversary hacker meetup, alongside Rich Miner & Manolis Kellis. Congrats to Serge Didenko Vasylechko, Artem Lukoianov, Gabriela Torres V., Fridolin Haugg for creating Sundai ... Maria Gorskikh. Fittingly, the gathering took place high above the city in Boston University Center for Computing & Data Sciences—often called the BU “Jenga” building—home to Boston University Department of Computer Science. From one of the highest vantage points around Boston, you can see the entire innovation ecosystem spread out below: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, the Harvard Bridge, the Longfellow Bridge, and even Fenway Park. Looking out from there—and capturing photos of those landmarks—it felt like the perfect setting to talk about the future of building in Boston. In my remarks, I spoke about bridging communities, the history of MIT’s hacker culture, and the origin story behind the name Sundai. The founders chose the name partly because Sunday was the day the group could meet, and partly because of ice cream—a reminder that hacking should be joyful and playful. If people are going to spend their Sundays building things, it should feel fun. That spirit—learning through experimentation while enjoying the process—became one of the cultural pillars of Sundai. I also reflected on the early history of artificial intelligence. In the 1955 proposal for the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy wrote about discovering “how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, and solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans.” At the time, Claude Shannon preferred the term “Automata Studies,” while Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon, who built the first AI programs, described their work as “Complex Information Processing.” The field eventually settled on the term Artificial Intelligence, but the spirit behind it remains the same: ambitious experimentation. That spirit is very much alive at Sundai. Sunday, in this community, is about trying the things you think are too ambitious. The future will be built by people who treat AI as a new medium, not just a tool. Builder communities matter—people experimenting, breaking things, fixing them, and sharing what works. Increasingly, the internet is no longer just humans browsing websites; it’s agents interacting with systems and with each other. PS. I wore my lobster tie

Just had the incredible opportunity to moderate a panel on "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀" at Sundai’s 2nd Anniversary! 🚀🎂 Over the past year, AI foundation models have gotten dramatically smarter, making it easier than ever to build and deploy agents. We explored the massive opportunities ahead as we transition from human-driven businesses to entirely autonomous, zero-person companies. I was joined by an absolute powerhouse lineup of builders and thinkers: 🔹 Paul Cheek (MIT) shared his fascinating work building platforms that spin up fully autonomous, zero-person companies. Rather than just automating product development or go-to-market, these AI agents are running entire businesses end-to-end. These autonomous companies can act as high-speed "speedboats" alongside traditional enterprises, effectively removing organizational latency. Ultimately, this automation will free up human capital to tackle massive societal challenges like climate change and life sciences. (Keep an eye out for his upcoming book, No One Works Here!) 🔹 Ramesh Raskar (MIT) challenged us to stop chasing simple productivity gains and instead build companies that are only possible because of agentic workflows. He described a future web split into three layers: the human internet, the human-agent internet, and a purely agent-to-agent internet. For builders, the real opportunities lie in thinking from first principles to create agent-native ecosystems: like agentic stock markets, group-purchasing networks, and open platforms like Project Nanda to prevent big tech monopolies. He warned that we only have 18 months before these monopolies lock down the ecosystem, so builders must secure their own data moats today. 🔹 Jordan Tian (ZeroClaw) dove into the infrastructure layer, highlighting the massive opportunity in building the "pickaxes for the AI gold rush". He shared how open-source projects like ZeroClaw are building the proactive, containerized AI harnesses needed for agents to efficiently connect via APIs and interact with the real world. 🔹 Kris Mondlane (Agentic Highway) reminded us that as we rapidly scale these agentic ecosystems, the underlying architecture must be deployed securely. 𝗠𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆? We are currently in the "improvement" phase of this technology, but "transformation" and "disruption" are right around the corner. The builders who win the next decade won't be the ones retrofitting AI to shave a few hours off human administrative tasks; they will be the ones creating the foundational plumbing and entirely new agent-to-agent architectures. By fully automating standard business building, we are opening the door for humans to focus our energy on the world's most important problems. A huge thank you to the brilliant panelists, the engaged audience, and the entire Sundai community. Here's to build the agent-native future from first principles! 🥂 Gabriela Fridolin Argenis Artem Emre Brandon Maria Nate Yan Vitaly

What can happen in 12 hours with the right idea and the right people? On Sunday, while I was in Boston, I decided to spend my day building at Sundai’s 2nd anniversary event at Boston University. Although the event had workshops and a traditional conference setup, I made the bold decision to focus purely on building. At the time, I wasn’t even sure what I was going to build for the next 12 hours. So a few of us builders started sharing ideas. That’s when I met Ruifeng R., a master’s student at MIT. He had a brilliant idea: create a tool that helps small businesses appropriately price a new or existing product using various sources of data, such as internal sales data, location, and other market factors. We decided to name it Kanos (from the Greek word kanon), meaning “standard.” The goal is simple: help small businesses whose pricing strategies might be all over the place get a clear, practical answer for how to price their products to a standard without needing a team of consultants, which can be expensive. Kanos is currently accessible for free to anyone on the web at kanos.biz. Unlike many hackathon projects that stay as localhost demos, we built it as a full-stack web application so any small business owner can start using it immediately. If you know a small business owner who might benefit, please share it with them! They can simply visit kanos.biz in their browser to get started. Here is our Sundai project card: https://lnkd.in/gnV_jMCG Here is a video of our pitch: https://lnkd.in/gDZZa-N9 A huge thanks to Fridolin Haugg, Ernest Choi, Ryan Nie, Matteo Sanchez-Dahl Gonzalez, and many more for all your support. I hope to return for another Sundai hack soon!
