+
+The Free  Life Planner (FLP)  is an ambitious,  Emacs-based artificial
+intelligence project aimed at creating a comprehensive life management
+system  to  address  global   challenges  like  poverty,  hunger,  and
+disease.  This talk  will provide  a  5-year progress  report on  FLP,
+highlighting its integration with Emacs  and its potential to serve as
+a virtual secondary social safety net.
+
+FLP  leverages  the power  of  free/libre  software  and AI  to  offer
+intelligent  planning   and  decision  support  across   various  life
+domains. Key features include  modules for finance, health, nutrition,
+and  transportation, all  accessible through  an Emacs  interface. The
+system  employs advanced  planning algorithms,  machine learning,  and
+natural  language   processing  to  provide   personalized  assistance
+tailored to individual needs.
+
+We'll explore  how FLP  uses Emacs as  its central  developer console,
+demonstrating how it  can control Emacs through  agentic software. The
+presentation will showcase practical applications  of FLP, such as the
+Gourmet meal  planner and the financial  planning module, illustrating
+how these tools can improve quality of life and promote self-reliance.
+
+The talk  will also  address the challenges  faced in  developing FLP,
+including privacy  concerns and the  complexities of releasing  such a
+comprehensive  system.  We'll  discuss our  commitment  to  free/libre
+software principles  and our  vision for  FLP's future  as a  tool for
+social good.
+
+By attending this talk, you'll gain insights into:
+- How Emacs can serve as a platform for advanced AI applications
+- The potential of free/libre software to address global challenges
+- Practical applications of AI in daily life management
+- The intersection of technology and social responsibility
+
+Join us to explore how the Free Life Planner, powered by Emacs and AI,
+aims to transform lives and create a more equitable future for all.
