Magic Island AI Week: AI, DAOs & Cacao Circle with TrueSight DAO and Blockful
What does it mean to build with AI when the organization is a community, the decisions are shared, and the work touches real people and real land?
Join us for a morning with Gary Teh from TrueSight DAO and Agroverse, and Zeugh from Blockful, exploring how AI is being used to build, coordinate, and govern decentralized organizations.
No slideware. No distant predictions. Just builders sharing what they are working on, what they have learned, and where the hard questions begin.
Gary will speak about AI, coordination, and building communities around shared missions. Zeugh will share Blockful’s experiments with AI agents and DAO governance, including the AI Delegate project and the challenge of giving software a role in collective decision-making.
Then we will open the conversation with a Q&A and close with cacao from Agroverse — a DAO you can actually taste.
