Final call for Portuguese SMEs. ⏳ Applications for the SpaceXAI Digital Transformation Lab are about to close. If your company has a real challenge and wants to see what AI can do about it, this is the moment, with hands-on support from @spacexai, backed by @IAPMEI, @StartupPortugal, and InvestBraga, hosted on TAIKAI.

Yesterday in Porto, we spent an evening arguing about AI models. 👀 The Collider brought builders and engineering leaders together around one question: how do you choose the model that actually fits? Our CTO @heldervasc, had a clear answer: stop chasing benchmarks and start planning for capacity. Thanks to everyone who joined!

Five AI assistants launched in five months, but only two work in Portugal. Google, Meta, OpenAI, xAI and Instinct (a startup growing fast) all shipped an assistant that does the work instead of describing it. Most of them haven’t reached Europe yet. That gives companies here a head start to decide what to delegate, and under whose rules.

Two AI launches in three weeks. Is either one AGI? Depends who you ask. Our CTO @heldervasc explains why, and proposes a simpler test: stop saying "good, for an AI." By that test, maths and code are already there, science is close, and the physical world still has a way to go. Find more. 👇

Aaaaand we’re back for yet another internal hackathon! There’s no better excuse to gather the team than a one-day competition to see who can build the most useful project. We’ve done dozens of internal hackathons over the years, and it’s still as exciting as the first one. Time to build!

"Where exactly is the venue?" "What should I wear?" "How do I book investor 1:1s?" Every attendee at SIM Conference 2026 (@StartupPortugal) had a different question, usually at the worst possible time to go digging through a PDF. So we built Ask SIM: an assistant trained on the official program that answers in seconds, with the source attached. No searching, no guessing. This is what it looks like. 👇

👉 @taikainetwork provides the platform, @spacexai brings the expertise, and Portuguese SMEs bring a real challenge from their business. That's the SpaceXAI Digital Transformation Lab, powered by @IAPMEI, @StartupPortugal, and Invest Braga, happening on 26-27 October in Braga: 48 hours to turn a problem into an AI solution worth implementing. Applications close 16 October. If you run an SME, this is worth your time. 👇
A real business challenge and 48 hours: that's all it takes to start building something new for your SME. 🙌 The SpaceXAI Digital Transformation Lab is now live on our platform, an initiative by @spacexai, @IAPMEI, @StartupPortugal, and Invest Braga , built to bring AI and hands-on problem-solving to Portuguese SMEs.

Last week, @hypermarioal, @heldervasc and @ickasdev led the "AI for Industry & Logistics" masterclass at ANJE's Nexo Conference 2026. An afternoon of sharp questions and real use cases on how AI is reshaping the factory floor and the supply chain. Thank you to ANJE for having us and to everyone who joined. The conversations are just getting started. 🙌

Who answers support tickets when nobody's job is to answer support tickets? For a while, the answer was all of us. @hypermarioal explains what changed. 👇

Amanhã estou na NEXO Conference da ANJE, em Matosinhos, a dar a masterclass "AI for Industry & Logistics" com o @hypermarioal e o @heldervasc, pela @LayerXlab. Às 15:10 falo das fundações: modelos, tools e MCP, o protocolo que liga um modelo aos sistemas que as empresas já usam (ERP, WMS, email, documentos). A partir das 16:35 construímos um agente ao vivo para um caso de logística, do início ao fim, como uma cotação ou o seguimento de uma encomenda, com demos pelo meio. Se estiverem pelo Porto amanhã à tarde, apareçam 👋

🚀 AI Hacker House by @LayerXlab took over DeHouse on Friday. From 10:30 to 4pm, builders worked with mentors to turn ideas into working prototypes, then pitched them for a public vote. Congratulations to the three winning teams and to all the builders who showed up! 🏆
