# The AIE Network

> The AIE Network helps 250,000+ business professionals stay relevant as AI transforms every industry. Founded by Mark R. Hinkle and operated by Peripety Labs.

## What We Do

The AIE Network runs three pillars:

- **Read**: The AI Enterprise newsletter publishes four days a week, Monday through Thursday, to 250,000+ professionals: AI Tangle (Mon, news digest), AI Lessons (Tue, hands-on tutorial), AI Advantage (Wed, one practical tactic), and AI Deep Dive (Thu, strategic analysis).
- **Gather**: The All Things AI conference (the Southeast's largest AI conference, co-founded by Todd Lewis and Mark Hinkle), free webinars, workshops, and a 5,000+ member community in the Raleigh-Durham area.
- **Learn**: AI upskilling through the AIOS course, executive workshops, custom corporate training, and the S.M.A.R.T. Framework for AI adoption.

## Connected Field Guides

AIOS defines how people and organizations become AI-native. Agent Native defines how software becomes usable by agents.

- [AIOS: the operating model for becoming AI-native](https://aios-site-pink.vercel.app/the-operating-model): how a business rebuilds work around AI instead of bolting it on. Maturity ladder, BASIC Stack, and a free, maintained 265-page manual at https://aios-site-pink.vercel.app/book.
- [Agent Native product scorecard](https://agentnative.build/#score): a 12-question test of whether one software surface can be discovered, understood, operated safely, and verified by AI agents.
