we announced something

On the train from Boston yesterday I was compelled to write about what agency means in our increasingly datafied world, and some of our perspectives at koodos labs💥. “Agency is not inherent, it is permitted" blog.koodos.com/p/agency-in-a-…

Working here be like: serious engineering meeting talking about DB scaling at the same time as filming skits in costume for our brand account

Our pre-publication paper is out! The Next Phase of the Data Economy: Economic & Technological Perspectives co-authored with some amazing people: Scott Kominers, Leora Kornfeld, John Deighton, scott belsky, apuchitnis, Kinjal Shah, Reid Williams, Doc Searls, k chmielinski, Carolina Rossini, LLM, MBA, JD, David Eliot

Data is shifting from centralised silos to individual control The future data economy hinges on user-centric ownership, interoperability, and liquid data flows ✊ Super excited to release our paper on this big shift in tech & excited to hear feedback! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

maybe we should fix this?

Worth a listen (but we're biased!)

Y'all are too interested in our discussion night on MCPs, please don't sign up any more: lu.ma/k1kegiwm?tk=7v…

It’s a war to capture your context (and more of it) faster than everyone else... ...and then to give it back to individuals

First ever Board meeting, so here's the koodos board as babies:

yup!

just dropped "Context is All You Need" with Sean X, Tina He, Yondon Fu the insight: AI systems that understand you deeply enough to anticipate needs and take autonomous action will fundamentally reshape how we interact with technology. But who controls that understanding?

find your shelf

Why did we hire the Managing Editor of Nylon Magazine? Because infrastructure without culture is just plumbing. We're building Shelf to be your personal context companion—and that only works if we're embedded in culture, not observing from the outside. New post👇

Love this move from Anthropic – books & “thinking caps” make AI feel cultural, not just technical. At koodos we believe the same: infrastructure only matters when it becomes part of how people live, talk, and create.

Personal Context Infrastructure is the most important evolution in personal technology since social media.

Join apuchitnis, John P Dickerson (of mozilla.ai) and I for our session at Mozilla Festival on the collective land grab for user context reshaping the internet. Join the discussion if you'll be there: schedule.mozillafestival.org/session/230 Mozilla x koodos labs💥
