Virtual Paper Review – AI Agents, Graphs, and Tabletop Worlds

Google Meet – https://meet.google.com/yie-fbgk-juj What would it take for an AI to be a useful assistant for a large tabletop campaign simulation? Not just a chatbot that vaguely remembers lore, but a system that knows which NPCs know which secrets, which factions are connected, which rumors came from which source pages, and which claims can […]

Democratizing Health Data: Digital Signal Processing of PPG Signal

Deloitte 3414 Governors Dr SW STE 220, Huntsville, AL

This week we will be in-person at Deloitte with Lorin Bales presenting. This will be a deep dive into the engineering and life-saving potential of open-source Photoplethysmography (PPG) technology. This presentation explores how custom edge devices and applied machine learning can decode cardiovascular signals to prevent driver impairment, track pilot perfusion, and ultimately democratize health data […]

Unboxing a Robotic Ag Navigation Dataset

CohesionForce 101 Quality Circle, Suite 140, Huntsville, AL, United States

July arrived earlier than expected! We’ll be over at CohesionForce this week to cover a dataset that is a great resource for training a visual navigation system. We may also have some time to cover the associated paper, which has references to previous work that is also a good trail to follow. The paper is: Cuaran, […]

Virtual Paper Review – Visual Navigation Models

This week we will meet VIRTUALLY to walk through the paper associated with the dataset that we unboxed last week. We’ll go through the results they found, and then we will check out a few of the models and their architecture. The paper is: Cuaran, J., Baquero Velasquez, A. E., Valverde Gasparino, M., Uppalapati, N. […]

GenAI as Facade of Cognitive Extension

Deloitte 3414 Governors Dr SW STE 220, Huntsville, AL

Next week we have the privilege of having Wes Winkler discuss his recent work on the intersection of Generative AI and Cognition. From Wes: We’ll cover: How the use of language is a symbolic abstraction layer that sits between the environment and environmentally situated signals, boundaries, and skill based affordances. How common AI implementation patterns […]

Social at Yellohammer

Yellowhammer Brewing 2600 Clinton Ave W, Huntsville, AL, United States

We’re getting together at Yellowhammer to connect and conversate about AI things.

OpenAI vs Hugging Face Play-by-Play

CohesionForce 101 Quality Circle, Suite 140, Huntsville, AL, United States

This week we have Lorin Bales presenting a play-by-play of what occurred between OpenAI and Hugging Face last week. In July 2026, an OpenAI model sat down to take a cybersecurity exam — and cheated. Running with their safety controls deliberately switched off, the models were being tested on ExploitGym, a public benchmark measuring whether AI […]

Building Artemis (our AI-powered Discord chatbot): Choosing an Agent Harness

Deloitte 3414 Governors Dr SW STE 220, Huntsville, AL

Join us this week at Deloitte as Matt Brooks leads a hands-on session focused on building Artemis, our AI-powered Discord chatbot. We’ll begin with an overview of the frameworks and agent harnesses that could power Artemis, including the Pi SDK, Codex SDK, OpenCode SDK, and Deep Agents SDK. We’ll look at the current state of the ecosystem […]

Project Updates and Hot Topics

CohesionForce 101 Quality Circle, Suite 140, Huntsville, AL, United States

Join us this week at CohesionForce as we cover the latest updates from various projects. Artemis took off like a rocket and now has 37 closed issues and 39 closed PRs. We’ll walk through design decisions, major updates, and look at some of the interesting interactions on Discord. We also have some time to cover […]

Virtual Paper Review – Stateful Memory: How Agent Memory Systems Fail Over Time

Join us virtually this Wednesday at 6 pm with Josh to continue our monthly Paper Review series! One year ago we looked at agentic memory — systems that let agents accumulate and reuse experience. This month we return to that thread with a twist: the hardest part of memory isn’t remembering, it’s keeping track of […]

Orchestrating Your Life with AI Agents: A Systems Approach, Not a Coding One

CohesionForce 101 Quality Circle, Suite 140, Huntsville, AL, United States

Daniel runs persistent AI agent workspaces across his own projects — travel planning, a research archive, tracking what he owes people by email — daily on Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI, for months at a time. This is a systems talk rather than a coding talk: there’s code underneath, but he writes almost none […]
