Advanced Knowledge Systems
Build your AI-Powered Knowledge Engine in 5 Weeks
In a world where AI can handle meaningful cognitive work, your true competitive edge becomes your expertise & practical knowledge.
Most people still “take notes.” Power users build AI powered knowledge systems → living, searchable networks that think with you.
There’s no better environment for this than Tana → graph-native workspace with a built-in AI.
Today the capabilities once exclusive to Fortune 500 research teams and elite think-tanks are now yours → instantly, at almost zero cost.
NEW CAPABILITIES
Expert-grade research on demand
Tools like DeepResearch & Manus give you McKinsey level custom reports on any subject you want
Processing power: 1000X more data → insights
Agents process & structure tons of data in minutes, extracting the signals & presenting them in relevant form
Self-organising knowledge graph
Each new piece of information lands as a node that auto-connects to relevant contexts, unlocking powerful retrieval
Those tools and technologies feel like magic! Yet disruptions always bring some problems.
DOWNSIDE
More data ≠ more clarity
Information abundance does not lead to better understanding. Copy-pasting does not create new knowledge.
Note-taking is irrelevant
In an AI-first world, the shape of the question can be more valuable than any static answer you captured last year.
Disconnected tools break the flow
Jumping from tool to tool severs mental context with every click. Ideas and insights fall through the cracks.
AI guides your attention
When LLMs and algorithms decide what you read next, the risk of losing your agency becomes very real.
SOLUTION IS HERE
That’s where the AKS course comes in!
Over five weeks I’ll guide you—step by step—through setting up a coherent connected knowledge engine.
System that will fundamentally change the way you research, learn, think, and create.
I've blocked out substantial time over these five weeks specifically for this cohort.
Building your system becomes my day job:
expect rapid Slack responses, detailed line-by-line feedback, and live workshops that run until every question is answered.
We build your system together, week by week.
You'll have a working prototype before the cohort ends.
WHAT'S INSIDE
First-principles thinking
Information Architecture, Domain Driven Design, DATA <> FRAME model, System Architecture
Custom stack mapping
I’ll help you to assemble a toolkit that fits your tech proficiency, budget, and workflow. I map options & guide you to the sweet spot
Hands-on workshops
Live sessions where we build each component together → get real time feedback, ask questions, and leave with a backlog for your system
Real-time 1-to-1 Slack support
Drop screenshots, prompts, code snippets, or three-minute voice rants → I’ll help you to get unblocked fast, async or live
4 checkpoints feedback
4 rounds of detailed feedback from me on your actual system → not generic comments, but line-by-line critique that sharpens your implementation
Unstructured AMA office hours
Regular open sessions where we troubleshoot, brainstorm edge cases, and bounce half-baked wild ideas

FAQ
Who is this course for?
Researchers
Lifelong learners
Analysts
Consultants
Entrepreneurs
Writers
Students
Lawyers
Polymaths
Basically for all knowledge workers who deal with a lot of diverse information and want to utilize Tana's full potential & build AI-first knowledge system
Do I need to know Tana fundamentals to participate?
Yes. You will benefit from the course if you already have some experience with Tana and have a grasp on basic stuff: supertags, fields, and live queries.
Don't worry if your Tana skills are not perfect yet.
If you have any difficulties, I will be available to answer questions during the whole time.
At what time the live event will be held?
The live sessions happen on weekends. We've got people joining from all over the globe, so I usually run two sessions. One is in the UTC afternoon (great for Asia, Australia, Middle East, Africa, and Europe), and another in the UTC evening (perfect for Americas and Europe). I'll set the specific times based on where everyone in your cohort is located. My goal is to make sure everyone can attend comfortably!
Do I have to attend all the events?
While live events are an important part of the course, It's okay to skip some of them and watch recordings. You will get access to the recordings within 24 hours of the event.
Can I get a refund?
14-day refunds are available. Just send me an email, and I'll refund you, no questions asked.
