What happens when an art collector decides to build something for the artists she believes in?

This week on TezTalks Live, Brandon welcomes Ida Belle, a Montreal-based collector, generative art enthusiast, and the creator of TezCity, a new social platform for Tezos artists and collectors.

Ida's story begins long before TezCity, with a family tradition of collecting, a fascination with generative art, and years spent discovering and supporting artists across the Tezos ecosystem.

Now she's bringing those experiences together through TezCity, where artists can connect with supporters, share exclusive content, and receive direct support through memberships and tez tips.

We explore the inspiration behind TezCity, what it took to bring the platform to life, how artists are responding, and what Ida hopes this new space could become.

It's a conversation about collecting, creativity, community, and what happens when someone decides to build something they wish existed.

We talk with Kitsune from Keystone Lab about Panora, a mobile app that captures real world conversations and turns them into transcripts you can search and chat with later. We dig into the product decisions behind mobile first capture, privacy focused processing, and how AI helped ship an MVP fast while distribution stays the hardest challenge.

• why unscheduled conversations carry the most valuable work context
• who Panora is for, from working professionals to lawyers, HR, and social workers
• the mobile first workflow, live transcript, and post recording processing
• on device transcription vs backend processing, with encryption and user control
• artifacts like topics, events, and decisions, plus chat based recall
• optional voice tagging to group recordings by person
• long term memory via indexing, recency, and lightweight semantic search
• how AI accelerates development, with multi model reviews and harnesses
• lessons learned, especially scope creep and shipping tradeoffs

This week on TezTalks Live, we welcome back musician and TEIA core team member Ryan G. Tanaka for a conversation about what years of creating, experimenting, and maintaining community-built infrastructure on Tezos have taught him.

From putting everyday objects inside a grand piano at TezCon to building tools because of problems he encountered himself, Ryan shares the stories behind TEIA, teia.cafe, and the decisions that come with keeping open-source projects useful without losing what made them worth building in the first place.

The conversation gets into the less visible side of community infrastructure too: changing your mind when new information emerges, cleaning up systems maintained by many people over many years, deciding when funding helps or hurts, and figuring out what should be preserved as a project grows.

It is a look at Tezos from someone who has spent years not only using the ecosystem, but helping maintain the spaces where its culture lives.
