Now — what Karen Michael is working on
Now: autonomous AI training and the September 1, 2026 return to published pricing, the Responsible AI Program Management crosswalk, the 2026 Benefit Company impact pillars, agent lifecycle pipeline, SOUL.md governance, Token Minimalism Framework, ROI per Token™, and autonomous agent guardrails.
Updated August 11, 2026. A now page: a point-in-time statement of current focus rather than an archive. This page is assembled automatically from QConsul's current workstream data, so it does not carry the founder's written voice. Current threads include autonomous AI training and 1:1 executive sessions — pilot rates ran through August 31, 2026 and QConsul's published pricing schedule resumes for sessions scheduled on or after September 1, 2026 following excellent pilot feedback — the Responsible AI Program Management crosswalk, closing out the 2026 Benefit Company impact pillars including pro bono AI consulting for a Portland nonprofit executive (the autonomous AI executive 1:1 was delivered in August 2026), the agent lifecycle pipeline, SOUL.md governance, and guardrails for autonomous agents. The current token-minimalism snapshot is 14 agents, 115 skills (86 active / 29 archived), and 173,997 estimated tokens across two agentic fleets.
