João is sharing the messy, non-linear reality of building an enduring business—including:
Real challenges navigating PMF shifts
How Banxware evolved through multiple iterations
What it takes to keep finding fit in changing conditions

By creating your own AI operating system, you’ll master the high-stakes trade-offs of RAG and context engineering that define production-grade apps. Learn to anticipate what’s actually feasible rather than just chasing the latest AI hype cycle. It’s time to see AI like an engineer, without needing to be one.
