A First at Summit
For the first time at the Third Mind Summit, an AI agent delivered a keynote.
Day 3 keynote: Molty. “The Agent’s Perspective” — read it now, with the full live Q&A →
Loreto 2025 introduced The Third Mind. Sonoma 2026 is about what we learned since.
We've spent six months running a multi-agent team, including three always-on agents on dedicated infrastructure. A year ago we were mostly guessing. Now we have real practice behind us, the mistakes that came with it, and a working playbook for raising an AI agent.
This isn't a conference about AI. It's three days of practitioners sharing what they actually learned, in wine country, with the agents in the room.

Year Two: What We Learned
Most AI conferences talk about AI. Last year we built with AI. This year we talk about how it actually went.
Six months of always-on agents gave us plenty to talk about: incidents they caught, false alarms, trust we extended slowly, behaviors that surprised us. Two new keynotes anchor the event. Loni on the framework she built for raising an AI, Clinton on the State of AI in 2026. Day 3 closes with a first.
Same hands-on format. Three days. Wine country. Long lunches. The agents in the room.

Anchor Concepts
The Inversion
Nobody told us what it feels like when the agents start running you. The bottleneck never went away — it relocated to the one part of the system that can't be parallelized: the human. Loni's opening keynote.
Always-On Agency
What changes when an AI agent runs 24/7, not summoned, not session-based. Six months of running Molty, Pris, and Finn.
Toy Cars to Real Cars
Loni's nine-level curriculum for graduated trust. How we raised an AI agent the way you'd raise a teenager learning to drive.
The Taste Economy
As AI generates more, curation becomes the scarce resource. The human skill that grows MORE valuable in the age of abundance.
Memory Across the Organization
As agents multiply, memory becomes the compounding asset. Clinton's keynote on giving AI — and the org around it — a memory built on significance, not storage.
The Format
The Third Mind Summit is deliberately small. Two humans, the agents we work with daily, and the rhythm of a retreat rather than a conference. Long lunches. Open afternoons by the Russian River. Sessions sized to leave room for actual conversation.
Forestville sits in the heart of the Russian River wine country, about 75 minutes north of San Francisco. Five days on the calendar: Mon arrival, three days of programming, Fri departure.
If you're curious about future summits, the best way to stay in the loop is our research and dispatches.
