What's on the desk.

A monthly snapshot — what I'm working on, reading, listening to, and where I am. In the spirit of Derek Sivers' /now page. Updated on the first of the month.

May 2026 Updated May 2 · New York

A month of building.

On the desk

Day job at Yuma AI — a subnet inside the Bittensor network. Nights and weekends: Drako DevOS's orchestration layer — the part that decides which agent runs which task, where state lives, and how every silo's pipelines plug together. The hard problem isn't building one good agent; it's getting twenty of them to operate as one system.

Chala AI opens July 1 at Gym NYC — two-sided: trainers and clients, all locations. DrakoAI is in beta with 32 datasets backfilled. Gym.AI is live with staff across all Gym NYC locations.

// What's coming

The seasons ahead.

Mapped, not promised — but every arc here is on the desk this week.

  1. Summer 2026 DrakoAI + Chala AI · public beta

    DrakoAI and Chala AI open.

    DrakoAI's public beta lands with the first wave of NYC contractors — 32 datasets backfilled, pilots already lined up, a chat UI on top of permits, ownership, and building history. Same season, Chala AI's first beta runs at Gym NYC — two-sided from day one, trainers using it with clients, clients without trainers using it solo. Native iOS for both.

  2. Fall 2026 DevOS open-source · Gym.AI consumer

    Two big drops.

    Drako DevOS open-sources — the orchestration layer everything else runs on. Same season, Gym.AI's consumer app launches alongside the SMB dashboard already running across every Gym NYC location.

  3. Winter 2026 Cadence · daily + weekly

    Pipelines keep running.

    Drako Finance and Drako News keep their daily and weekly cadence on top of DevOS. Stocks with real thesis. News filtered through a future-of-society lens. Free to read. AI interaction unlocks at sign-in.

  4. 2027 and beyond Drako iOS · resumes

    When the stack is ready.

    Drako iOS picks back up when local AI is mature enough to run 60–80% of personal-OS tasks on-device — or to send prompts to the cloud while keeping data secure. Until that's real, the website is the OS.
