Penny UniversityBuilding the agentic web at Arcturus Labs and community at Penny University
## About me I’m John Berryman, founder of Arcturus Labs. My background is in search engineering, with work at Eventbrite and on GitHub’s code search, and I coauthored Relevant Search. At GitHub, I moved onto the Copilot team and got a front row seat to the emergence of AI coding assistants. That led to coauthoring Prompt Engineering for LLMs with one of GitHub Copilot’s originators. ## AI interests I’m interested in making AI agents useful in real products and everyday workflows. At Arcturus Labs, I help teams through strategy, training and hands-on engineering. I also enjoy creative automation, including building agent skills for video editing and content production. Software factories and portable skills are another ongoing experiment. ## What I'm building or exploring I’m actively building in the agentic web, exploring emerging technologies like WebMCP and how websites can work directly with people’s agents. I also enjoy building communities like Penny University, where people can learn AI together, share experiments and build things. I’d love to hack with anyone interested in the agentic web or in building pieces of Penny University.
