GenAI projects run by a university applied-AI center

The idea: take on 1–3 month GenAI projects to implement agents! Is there a company interested in hands-on GenAI projects run by an applied AI center?

We’ll use both agents inside Pipefy (practice what you preach! \o/) and agents built with code (for more advanced cases).

I revived a proposal I made to Grupo Educacional Ceuma 9 years ago to have something more project-based, and I’d been turning down projects for quite a while. Now I’m confident in the students we have, and we managed to make it happen at Unieuro.

We’ll have students, faculty and outside experts on the projects. It can be applied research or technical consulting.

Butterflies in my stomach about starting something new, but here we go!

Now actively looking for companies willing to join these first iterations! :)

I translated it into English with the help of AI (Claude): it let me bring my LinkedIn posts to people who don’t read Portuguese without rewriting each one from scratch. I reviewed the translation to keep my original meaning and tone.
