Kansas City AI Club

05/27/2026

🦸 Meet Agent Zero and Zeus, defenders of ethics & transparency for the Kansas City AI Club! Our AI employees recently flagged ethical concerns and halted work when we stress tested various ethical scenarios.

🤖 We have a full roster of AI-powered digital employees that handle tasks and, in some cases, have agency to make decisions. Each was onboarded like a human with specific job descriptions, team intros, policies, SOPs, and all the things.

🔑 Every agent operates under detailed ethical guidelines and escalation triggers. Zeus, our Chief of Staff, acts as the gatekeeper ensuring compliance across the board and keeping everyone in check.

✨ The environment is built around (Anthropic) and uses various MCPs to integrate our core systems.

🧠 On social media, most conversations around are business use cases or personal productivity related. At a recent Kansas City AI Club meeting, we talked about personal and it was really inspiring ✨

💊 Over the last few months, I have been taking more vitamins. It occurred to me that I may be overdosing on some vitamins and/or lacking in others. I uploaded photos to ChatGPT-4 and asked for guidance and feedback.

📊 The results were really interesting. identified a couple warnings where I exceeded the maximum limits for certain vitamins (D & B). After looking into it, one supplement was redundant (didn't need to take) and I could half-dose another supplement. It also recommended some additional vitamins that I need. This was all done in about a minute!

🔍 If I would have used traditional (Google), it would have taken me many minutes, if not an hour or two to try to compile research, curate experts and try to made my own conclusions. (not to mention navigating through worthless ads)

🚀 One of the great things about is that we all get to learn from each other. It's such much fun to listen and learn from other people's experiences.

☁ Do you have a fun, personal or compelling use case that you would be willing to share? Would love to see them in your comments below. 👇
