Built a free, hands-on kit for my AI agents series. Six stops, one working assistant that answers from your own notes. Tools, search, safety, tests, CI. Runs on Gemini's free tier, Ollama, or offline. No credit card. github.com/LeparaLaMapara/ag…

The Sunday Sessions are BACK this Sunday and this time, I especially want to hear from people who disagree with me. Do you believe AI has no place in schools? Come and tell us why. Since starting these sessions, I have not made enough room for contrarian voices and that changes now. There’s no requirement to agree. All we need is a serious conversation about children, learning and the future of education. 🕔 Sunday, 6 Sept 2026 ⏱️ 17:00 SAST Come and challenge us. 👇🏾 📍youtube.com/@Fabacademic #SundaySessions #FutureOfEducation #AIinEducation

I built Ubunye Engine, a framework for developing & operating end-to-end data and machine-learning pipelines. It handles data ingestion & transformation, model training versioning, deployment, monitoring, lineage and orchestration across local, on-prem and cloud environments.

Imagine your phone dies, you’re stranded. No battery. No data. No way to order an e-hailing ride. What if AI had already solved that problem? Tomorrow on #SundaySessions we’ll explore an African-built solution that’s reimagining e-hailing. 🗓 12 July 🕔 17:00 SAST 📍 youtube.com/@Fabacademic #AI #Innovation #RideBox

Over 1,000 people joined yesterday’s #SundaySessions! Dr @BenadetteAinea1 showed how she turned her PhD into the Human-AI Trust Index (HATI), a practical tool that helps people use AI more responsibly. HATI is now in pilot mode & you can try it here: 👉 hati-ten.vercel.app/ Please share your feedback after using it. #AI #ResponsibleAI #Innovation

The most valuable AI skill isn’t writing better prompts, it’s knowing when to question the answer. Join us today as we explore one of the biggest challenges in the AI era. 🕔 5pm (SAST) 📍 youtube.com/@Fabacademic #AI #ResponsibleAI #SundaySessions

We spend so much time asking whether AI can be trusted. Perhaps the better question is: Do we know how to trust AI wisely? Tomorrow on #SundaySessions, we’ll meet Dr @BenadetteAinea1 a researcher who build the Human-AI Trust Index, which is a tool that helps people recognise their own AI trust habits & make better decisions. Tomorrow, Sunday 5 July at 17:00 SAST 📍YouTube 👉🏾 youtube.com/@Fabacademic #AI #ResponsibleAI #TrustInAI

Tune in!!
Still copy-pasting AI answers & losing hours to formatting, formulas & slides? There is a better way. Today at 5PM SAST, @thabangline and I welcome Humphry from Nairobi for a live demonstration of an AI workspace that turns one simple prompt into a finished Word document, a spreadsheet with working formulas & a professional presentation. Whether you’re a student, researcher, entrepreneur, consultant, teacher or business leader, you’ll leave with a completely different perspective on what AI can do. Join us live on FabAcademic Unfiltered 👉🏾 youtube.com/@Fabacademic Tag someone who needs to see this. I look forward to learning with you. #SundaySessions #AI #AfricanInnovation #FutureOfWork #Productivity

Most AI tools stop after giving you an answer. Overten doesn’t. It takes your idea and turns it into professional work products, formatted Word documents, Excel spreadsheets with working formulas & polished PowerPoint presentations. From a single prompt. Tomorrow, @thabangline and I will be speaking with Humphry from Nairobi to explore how him & his team built this AI-native workspace & what it means for the future of knowledge work. Whether you’re a student, researcher, entrepreneur, consultant, teacher or business leader, you’ll leave with a completely different perspective on what AI can do. 🗓️Tomorrow, Sunday, 28 June at 5:00–6:00 PM (SAST) 📍 Live on FabAcademic Unfiltered (YouTube)👉🏾youtube.com/@Fabacademic Invite anyone who still thinks AI is “just ChatGPT.” #SundaySessions #AI #AfricanInnovation #FutureOfWork #Productivity

A lot of people are using AI to write & this puts them at a disadvantage. Tomorrow, @thabangline and I will show you how to use AI to teach you how to write. Learn how AI can become your writing coach, research assistant, critical friend & even a supervision support tool, without doing the thinking for you. Tomorrow, Sunday, 14 June, @5pm SAST 📍 youtube.com/@Fabacademic #AI #Research #AcademicWriting #PhD #HigherEducation
