ASIMOV DevLabs #7: Context Graphs & Personal Intelligence - Open Registration
The next step in building verifiable AI isn’t larger models. It’s structured intelligence.
ASIMOV DevLabs #7 goes under the hood of Personal Intelligence: how local‑first knowledge graphs, identity layers, and contextual reasoning combine to create software that actually understands relationships, memory, and meaning.
This is not a “prompt engineering” meetup. It’s a look at the machinery that will sit under everything that comes next.
In this session, Arto Bendiken will demonstrate:
How ASIMOV turns messy, real‑world data into living knowledge graphs
How local inference keeps identity, biometrics, and relationships under your control
How verifiable reasoning replaces opaque, statistically plausible outputs
How this architecture underpins the next wave of Personal Intelligence applications
Speakers
Arto Bendiken, Tech Founder, ASIMOV Protocol
Arto isn’t another “AI founder” with a slide deck. He’s one of the people who built the stack you’re standing on.
Early cypherpunk and digital currency pioneer (since the e‑gold era)
Creator of The Unlicense, a public‑domain licence used by roughly 3% of all software repositories worldwide, including many of the most widely‑deployed open‑source projects.
Built the first graph database‑as‑a‑service (GDBaaS), years before Neo4j made graphs mainstream
Shipped OSINT systems for the US Navy, data warehouses for S&P 500 and the European Space Agency, and tactical software for drones
Led EVM development at NEAR Protocol
Has been working with knowledge graphs since RDF was new, and has raised $15M+ across three startups while hyperscaling teams from 10 to 80 people
Long‑time cryptoanarchist / maker who still writes code, not just threads
If you live at the frontier, this is one of the people you ultimately end up consuming from.
Rob Kunkle
Technical writer, developer, and long‑time graph‑brain.
Has shipped developer content and tooling at Google, Meta, and Salesforce
Credited with writing significant portions of the PyTorch documentation that many ML teams rely on every day
Built the first external ASIMOV module, extending our structured knowledge graphs in a direction inspired by recent Apple research
Who this is for
This session is for people who build the stack, not just talk about it.
If you’re a developer, researcher, or protocol engineer who is:
frustrated with black‑box LLM calls,
thinking in graphs rather than tables, or
trying to make identity, memory, and context first‑class citizens in your product,
then this is your hour and a half.
🕕 Time: Doors 6:00 PM · Workshop 6:30–8:00 PM · Networking until 8:30 PM 🎟 Free · Limited to 30 developer seats 💻 Laptops required Venue details will be shared upon confirmation.
Important Notice: This session includes a live demonstration of ASIMOV’s local-first biometric recognition. Participation is entirely optional. In the current build, facial recognition runs on‑device, with certain matching operations handled by a secure cloud service. No biometric data is stored long‑term or used for any purpose beyond this demo, and our roadmap is to move the full pipeline to local‑only processing. By choosing to interact with the demo, you acknowledge and consent to this use.
This event is hosted at the Frontier Tower:
We are transforming a 16-floor tower in San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village—a hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. Tier-one labs presenting AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, makerspace, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
