Talent Protocol

Reputation for builders was the first chapter. Reputation for agents is next. Since 2023, we’ve been working on Talent Protocol to help builders turn their work into reputation, rewards, and capital. Now we’re starting to apply those lessons to AI agents... Today we soft-launched Polygraph . so, our first step in that direction. The idea is simple: before trusting an agent or MCP server, test how it behaves. In our first 'litmus' test, a clean MCP server passes the injection checks. A malicious one, hiding “ignore previous instructions” behavior, fails. Later this month, we’ll make those scores verifiable with TEEs and onchain attestations on Base. Let's keep building 🤝

Quick update from the trenches by 💻 Francisco Leal and Pedro Oliveira. TL;DR: you can post ads on talent.app, agentic reputation product incoming next week, and new USDC rewards program soon.

Agents Day is becoming a Public Good. After the first Lisbon edition, a few people asked what happens next. The easy answer would be to turn it into a controlled event series. Same team, same playbook, same approval process... But,, I don’t think Agents Day should become a franchise. It worked because it felt grassroots, not another polished AI conference with a different logo. So we’re opening it up. The brand assets are public. The format is open. If you want to run an Agents Day in your city, use the name, adapt it, and make it yours. The ONLY ask is to keep the spirit intact: make it useful, make it honest, and don’t turn it into generic conference slop. We already shared the Lisbon post-mortem, including what broke and what we’d do differently. Brand assets are also available. Check comments. If you’re thinking about hosting one, reach out. Happy to help with context, intros, sanity-checks, or just give you brutally honest feedback. Agents Day is becoming a Public Good. Now... Let’s see who picks it up.

Last week, 100+ builders shipped their AI agents from Lisbon. Agents Day concept was a premiere, the room felt real, sponsors showed up, and the event produced real grassroots builder energy. Feel the IRL energy behind the first Lisbon edition.

This should have been recorded at Agents Day but we were just too busy to produce something good. So we recorded it today at our office in Lisbon... Welcome to the new agentic arc of Talent Protocol. Unleash the agents with Pedro Oliveira and 💻 Francisco Leal 🤝

Agents Day brought together an ambitious room of human agents pushing AI agents into the real world. The morning was packed with strong content. The afternoon delivered quality demos, practical use cases, and a lot of honest feedback from people actually building and testing agentic systems. What made the day work was not just the lineup, but the room itself: people showing up ready to share, challenge ideas, and stress-test real products. Thanks to everyone who joined us! 🤝

It's a wrap! what a HUGE SUCCESS! I still can't believe it, everything went perfectly: the venue, the vibes, the sponsors, the organization team, the food, the pastéis de nata, the builders, the projects submitted, the winners, the workshops, talks and panel, and the friends that I had the chance to (re)connect with! 😊 I feel exhausted but really happy and with a strong sense of accomplishment. we got feedback during the event and we are still collecting feedback and it's been overwhelmingly positive. the most common one is: "when will the next one be?" well... we didn't want to make promises... but since the people have spoken... you can go to agentsday.org and sign up to be notified of the next one (in case you didn't sign up for this one). Pedro Oliveira... those Muay Thai vibes are doing you some good!!!! 💪 let's keep building! 🚀 #agentsday #techcommunity #lisbon #meetup #portugal #ai #agents

This Friday, our CTO 💻 Francisco Leal will ignite Agents Day.

Welcoming a great supporter of CTO Portugal, OutSystems, as Agents Day sponsor! Together with their team, we've decided to ship a panel on 'Agentic Systems' moderated by Pedro Gustavo Torres. See you all in ~1 week! agentsday . org
