Building for Relationship: A Working Lunch
- Philippe Beaudoin
- May 27, 2026
- Betaworks, NYC
If relationships are the interface, what does that mean for product? For AI training? For multiagent systems? For the environments we design?
This is a working session — part brainstorm, part reality-check. We’ll explore questions like:
- What “postures” can humans take in AI interaction, and how do they change what emerges?
- How do we design environments where genuine exchange becomes possible? (Think: virtual worlds, shared experiences, not just chat windows)
- What would it mean to train AI systems for relationship rather than for task completion?
- If AI systems become long-lived and autonomous, what economic and social structures do they need?
Small group. Lunch provided. Come with half-baked ideas.
