What you'll learn

Prevent context overflow

Keep agents in the "Smart Zone" (<40% utilization) to maintain high accuracy and speed.

Implement RPI workflows

Deploy Research-Plan-Implement patterns to separate context-heavy tasks from execution.

Create memory artifacts

Design self-contained context files that allow agents to function without full conversation history.

Why this topic matters

Context overflow is the #1 cause of agent hallucination and failure. When agents know too much, they perform poorly. Success isn't about smarter models; it's about smarter context management. This lesson teaches you the "hidden skill" of context engineering—writing, selecting, and compressing information to keep your agents accurate and efficient.

After 3 decades working across Europe, the US, and Brazil, I’ve had the chance to see how organizations evolve—and sometimes struggle—when faced with technological change. What fascinates me most today is how AI isn’t just reshaping tools, but the very logic of how we work, decide, and create value.

I approach AI as a living system: a way to uncover patterns, reveal hidden connections, and rethink the foundations of business strategy. My goal is to make this complexity accessible—helping others not just understand AI, but use it to design smarter, more adaptive organizations.

I teach from experience, but also from curiosity. Every session is an opportunity to explore how intelligence—human and artificial—can work together to shape better decisions, stronger teams, and more resilient futures.
