Introduction:

We’re living in a unique moment in human history. AI has arrived; an unprecedented technology that will forever change society and the nature of human work. This moment is both thrilling and frightening as we grapple with uncertainty in the face of the coming transformation. We hope to offer a vision for those who are more inspired than intimidated. Those who wish to pursue optimism and harness AI to create a better future.


The Kairos Project:

We’re building a platform for communities to assemble around ideas and participate in their creation, evolution, and scale. The platform will include tools for planning and progress-tracking, group communication, task management, access to no-code solutions, and decentralized team management tools. Integrated AI assistants will help with project management and, over time, play a large role in making group collaboration and innovation seamless. Kairos will provide a shared workspace for strategizing, building, fundraising, and scaling. Anyone can join and participate, including traditional roles like product managers, engineers, marketers, designers, and operators, but also a broader community of contributors who can provide input and help with promotion. Each community will be structured as a decentralized organization, and all contributions will be rewarded with an economic stake in the outcome. See more at www.buildkairos.com
