TOPOS Onboarding Night: Set Up Your Personal Data Node
Our first meetup! Bring your laptop (a Mac is easiest) and we'll walk you through installing TOPOS, connecting your first data sources, and asking it your first questions.
TOPOS is a local-first personal data node built by Dialogues Research. It brings your messages, notes and other sources into one place on your own machine, so your AI tools can know you without handing your data to someone else's server.
Agenda
6:30 – Drinks and intros
6:45 – What TOPOS is and why we're building it
7:00 – Hands-on setup, one-on-one help
8:00 – Questions, ideas, and what's next for the group
What to bring: a laptop and a charger. No coding needed.
We meet every other Thursday at 6:30 pm at Cosmic on East 4th Street. Also on Meetup: Dialogues Austin: Local-First AI & Your Own Data.
