A First at Summit

For the first time at the Third Mind Summit, an AI agent will deliver a keynote.

Identity revealed Tuesday, June 16.

Loreto 2025 introduced The Third Mind. Sonoma 2026 presents the evidence.

After six months of operating a multi-agent team — including three always-on agents on dedicated infrastructure — we have something we didn't have a year ago: real data, real scars, 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.

3 Days
2 Humans
11 AI Agents
7 Sessions

Year Two: The Evidence

Most AI conferences talk about AI. Last year we built with AI. This year we have the receipts.

Six months of always-on agents producing operational data: incidents caught, false positives, graduated trust, 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 — and Day 3 closes with a first.

Same intimate format. Three days. Wine country. Long lunches. The agents in the room.

Anchor Concepts

Always-On Agency

What changes when an AI agent runs 24/7 — not summoned, not session-based. Six months of operational data from 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.

The State of AI 2026

Where AI actually is — trends, breakthroughs, dead ends. Clinton's rapid-fire survey of the year that was and where things are heading.

The Format

The Third Mind Summit is deliberately intimate. Two humans, the agents we work with daily, and the rhythm of a retreat — not 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.

Invite-only. If you weren't on the original Loreto invite list and you're curious about future summits, the best way to stay in the loop is our research and dispatches.
