Newsletter

    One email a week from a slowmad founder building with Claude Code. Real workflows, agent pipelines, and memory systems shipped from wherever I'm based that month.

    Who's writing this

    I'm Iwo. Born in Gdańsk, Poland. I've lived in 15 countries and visited 65 more, including a long stretch in Vietnam during 2020 to 2021 that turned me into a slowmad.

    I co-founded the AI Maturity Index (acquired by ISG, Nasdaq: III, in January 2026) and built the world's first remote work certification before that. Featured in Financial Times and Forbes. Spoke at 50+ events across 15 countries.

    Now I run MemoryOS and the Second Brain system. Every issue of this newsletter comes from work I shipped that week.
