Summary

Starting as Engagement Planner (EP) directly supporting Uttam’s projects
- Goal: Learn AI-native engagement planning approach
- Shadow Uttam’s CSO projects to understand great engagement planning
- Not long-term EP role - stepping stone to learn gaps between current EPs and AI-native approach
Primary mission: Enable team to remove Uttam from delivery roles
- Company risk: Uttam/Robert names appear on too many client assignments
- Need to scale team capabilities through AI adoption
Delivery enablement focus
- Work with CSOs, EPs, SLs who meet weekly
- Identify time-consuming EP tasks and prioritize AI solutions
- Target: Reduce EP time from 10 hours/week to 2 hours/week per client

Brainforge positioning as AI-native consultancy
- Y Combinator recently called for “AI Native agencies”
- Traditional agencies: low margins, manual work, scale only through headcount
- Vision: Use AI to produce work without time/expense constraints
Current team capability gap
- Team has access to advanced AI platform but underutilizing
- Many haven’t reached “ChatGPT moment” with Cursor
- Need to identify adoption friction points and solutions
Brylle’s approach
1. Communicate with current EPs about workloads
2. Identify highest time-consuming tasks
3. Focus on AI solutions to cut time
4. Build adoption across team

Platform access established

- Cursor installed with AI capabilities beyond ChatGPT
- Automatic meeting transcript integration
Immediate tasks
- Read “Forging the Future” document for mission alignment
- Review CSO/EP/SL model structure
- Check out Uttam’s branch with apprenticeship plan
- Learn GitHub basics through Cursor
Daily/weekly mentorship structure being created
- Dedicated folder in platform for Brylle’s onboarding
- Templates and logs for progress tracking
