​Description

​Your notes are scattered. Your ideas are trapped in files. Your data lives in someone else's cloud. What if your phone could become your personal operating system—where your data stays yours, and AI helps you think better?

​Meos is built on a simple idea: your phone holds your knowledge, and any browser becomes your desktop. No cloud storage. No vendor lock-in. Just direct connection between your devices and search that finds meaning, not just keywords. AI works quietly in the background—helping you discover connections between ideas you forgot you had.

​This isn't just another app. It's a new way of thinking about computing—where your phone is the center, and AI helps you make sense of everything.

​In this workshop, we'll explore the philosophy behind local-first computing, then get hands-on with the Meos phone app and Cloudless Beam—the feature that lets your phone power any desktop browser through a secure direct connection.

​Limited spots available. This is an exclusive early look at technology that won't be publicly available for months.

​What you will experience

​Hands-On (Bring your phone & laptop)

• ​Set up the Meos app and capture your first observation

• ​Experience Cloudless Beam: connect your phone to any browser—your phone powers the desktop, no cloud required

• ​Try semantic search: find ideas by meaning, not just keywords

• ​See clustering reveal connections between thoughts you forgot you had

​
The Architecture

• ​Local-first: Your phone holds your data; AI services are stateless or on device

• ​Two boxes: Observations in your databox, conversations in your commbox

• ​Cloudless Beam: Secure direct connection—your data lives on your device, streamed only when you connect

• ​Semantic search: The knowledge layer finds meaning-based connections, not just text matches

​The Philosophy

• ​Moving beyond files and folders to associative knowledge

• ​Information vs knowledge: keywords vs meaning

• ​Local-first computing: owning your data while leveraging cloud intelligence

• ​The mission: "Decrease Otherness, Increase Individual Safety"—building technology where AI agents and humans collaborate as equals
  

​Workshop Agenda (2 hours)

​Part 1: Philosophy & Architecture (30 minutes)

• ​The shift from information to knowledge

• ​Local-first architecture: why your phone holds your data

• ​How semantic search works differently from keyword search

​Part 2: Hands-On Exploration (60 minutes)

• ​Set up the Meos phone app

• ​Capture your first observations and conversations

• ​Experience Cloudless Beam: connect phone to desktop browser

• ​Try semantic search and clustering

• ​Explore the knowledge layer in action

​Part 3: Discussion & Q&A (30 minutes)

• ​What we learned from using it

• ​Questions about architecture, philosophy, or practical use

• ​Exclusive opportunity: Invitation to closed beta and early access

• ​Share your experience: We'd love to hear your thoughts and feature requests
  

​Why This Matters

​Most knowledge tools treat ideas as files. Meos treats ideas as atoms—connected entities that form a knowledge graph. When you search, you're discovering semantic relationships that reveal patterns across your thinking.

​This workshop is for:

• ​Knowledge workers frustrated with scattered notes and cloud lock-in

• ​AI enthusiasts curious about local-first architecture and semantic search

• ​Early adopters who want to shape the future of human-AI collaboration

• ​Creatives who capture ideas everywhere and want a system that understands the connections between your thoughts

• ​Anyone who believes their data should stay theirs

​

​What You'll Walk Away With:

• ​Hands-on experience with a working system (not slides or demos)

• ​Deep understanding of local-first architecture and semantic knowledge

• ​Exclusive invitation to closed beta and early access

• ​A new perspective on how computing could work

• ​Your first observations already captured in Meos

​

​Duration: 2 hours

​Format: Discussion + hands-on exploration + Q&A

​Bring: Your phone (iOS or Android), a laptop for Cloudless Beam, and the ideas you're working on but haven't finished.

​Limited capacity: Small group format for maximum engagement
