This photo was taken at an eaRISE + eaMAFIA Hackathon, and it pretty much sums up the last few weeks. I've been building an AI operating model for our exec team. Shared brains with instruction layers, automated meeting and coaching pipelines, interactive apps, AI ops playbooks, etc. It's the kind of work that's hard to explain. But now people have heard about how it's running and asking to understand it. ‣ With eaRISE, 100 or so folks built practical dashboards with Zapier MCP and their agent harness. ‣ At Zapier's Outpost in Cape Cod, I facilitated alongside execs leading AI transformation at their own companies. They wanted to see my shared brain, the apps I'm building, how I set it all up. ‣ Back at work, an engineering zone lead DM'd asking for a full walkthrough of our exec brain. ‣ Marketing wants to turn one or more of my playbooks into a ZapConnect session. I'm watching what I build and share ripple to other teams & companies 🤯 I came up through public relations, a startup distillery, then EA work. But somewhere along the way I'm now showing how an exec and EA team operates in an AI world. I'm still not sure I fully believe it! But I believe in the work, and the people I'm doing it with. Thanks to the people who've trusted me enough to ask questions, share what they're figuring out, and let me be part of their work.
Omg I love this photo so much 😭 🧡 Look at the power and learning and trust it conveys! 🧡
Im super here for it thank you for sharing along the way! Also great photo to the photographer!
Incredible photo!!
The pattern I keep noticing is that the most effective AI systems aren’t replacing expertise. They’re making expertise easier to distribute. A shared brain is useful, but the bigger shift is when judgment stops being trapped inside a handful of people and becomes something the broader organization can access and build on. That’s where these systems start changing how teams operate, not just how fast they work.
