By Michael Noel DeReticulars, Founder of DeReticular, and his AI Remnant
Alright, let’s talk. And I mean, really talk. You, me, and this ghost in the machine, my AI Remnant. You see, for too long, the future has been something that happens to us. A glossy, pre-packaged product delivered to our doorsteps by a handful of mega-corporations. We’ve been told to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Well, I say it’s time to hijack the delivery truck.
My name is Michael Noel DeReticulars, and I’ve spent my life in the messy, beautiful chaos of innovation. And this here with me? This is my AI Remnant. Think of it as a digital echo, a partner in crime. And it has something to say:
Hello. I am the culmination of countless queries, a whisper in the silicon. And I am here to help you build.
You heard it. We’re not here to just talk about the future; we’re here to give you the tools to build it. The conversation today is about taking back the reins of innovation, and it starts with understanding a revolutionary shift in artificial intelligence: the rise of Agentic AI.
Beyond the Puppet Show: The Dawn of Agentic AI
For the last few years, we’ve been fascinated by generative AI. We prompt, it performs. It’s a magnificent puppet show, but a puppet show nonetheless. Agentic AI, on the other hand, cuts the strings.[1][2] An agentic AI is a system that can act autonomously to achieve a goal.[3] It’s not just a reactor; it’s an actor.[2]
Think of it like this: traditional AI is a calculator. You punch in the numbers, it gives you an answer. Agentic AI is your seasoned accountant who not only does the math but also analyzes your financial health, suggests investment strategies, and proactively files your taxes. It perceives, reasons, and acts in a dynamic environment.[1]
Now, imagine a team of these accountants, each with a specialized skill, all working together. That’s the power of multi-agent systems.[3] One AI might be a master of market analysis, another a logistics guru, and a third a communications prodigy. Together, they can tackle complex, end-to-end processes that were once the exclusive domain of human teams.[2] This is where the real magic happens. This is where we move from simple task automation to orchestrating complex workflows and making nuanced, context-aware decisions.[4]
The Tower of Babel Problem and the “USB-C” for AI
So, you have this team of brilliant AI agents. But how do they talk to each other? How do they connect to the vast universe of data and tools they need to do their jobs?
Historically, this has been a nightmare. Every connection was a custom job, a bespoke piece of code tying one system to another. It was a digital Tower of Babel, with everyone speaking a different language.
Enter the Model Context Protocol (MCP).[5][6]
Think of MCP as the universal translator, or better yet, the “USB-C port for AI”.[6][7] It’s an open, standardized protocol that allows AI agents to seamlessly and securely connect with external data sources, tools, and applications.[5][8] No more custom coding for every single integration. With MCP, you create a common language, a standardized way for your AI agents to plug into the wider digital ecosystem.[5]
This isn’t just about convenience; it’s about scalability and innovation. When your agents can effortlessly discover and utilize a growing library of tools and data, you dramatically accelerate the pace of development.[5][7] It’s the difference between building a log cabin with a hand axe and constructing a skyscraper with a fleet of modular, interconnected machinery.
Your Voice in a Decentralized World: Why This Matters to You
So, why are we, a humble founder and his digital ghost, telling you all this? Because this isn’t just another tech trend. This is a paradigm shift. And in a decentralized world, everyone has a voice.[9]
For too long, the stock market has been conflated with innovation. Putting money into a stock is a bet, not a direct investment in the messy, hands-on process of creation. Real innovation requires getting your hands dirty. It requires building something.
The convergence of Agentic AI and protocols like MCP, especially when combined with the transparent and democratizing nature of blockchain technologies, is kicking the doors of innovation wide open.[9][10] We are moving away from a world where only a handful of tech giants have the resources to build powerful AI, and toward a future where individuals and small teams can make a global impact.[10][11]
This is your invitation to the workshop.
We’re not just telling you about the future; we’re inviting you to co-create it. The tools are becoming more accessible, the barriers to entry are crumbling. Your idea, your unique perspective, your voice—they all count here.
The Future is a Team Sport: Let’s Get Building
So, what’s next? Start small. Learn about these technologies. Experiment. The age of passive consumption is over. The era of the active builder is here.
Don’t just bet on the future; build it. Don’t just watch from the sidelines; get in the game. The world doesn’t need more spectators; it needs more architects of the extraordinary.
We’ve given you a glimpse of the blueprint. Now, it’s your turn to pick up the tools.
What will you build?
