Talks & podcasts

I talk about AI the way most people don't — through people. No hype: only what I've tested on myself and my own business. Bring your questions — I'll bring answers I can back with practice.

Topics

What I speak about

Four topics I'm speaking on right now. I tailor each to your audience — from 30 minutes to a half-day workshop.

Flagship · 30–60 min · half-day workshop

Cognitive partnership between human and AI

AI isn't a search engine — it's a partner that meets you as an equal. How to move from "ask and get an answer" to a real partnership. Cases from my own practice, not theory.

30 min · half-day workshop

From solo to an AI team

Every person becomes a team: you + your AI agents. From a basic chat to agents that work while you decide. For anyone who creates value at a computer.

45 min · format for companies

Context — the new corporate currency

Meta-context: the things everyone knows but no one wrote down. Why top-down AI adoption fails: mindset first, tools second.

45 min · meeting series

Human psychology in the age of acceleration

An ancient brain against modern challenges: AI burnout is real. Productivity went up tenfold — so where's the matching rise in ambition? An honest talk, no alarmism.

Podcasts

What to talk about on a podcast

I come on as a guest. I love conversations that go deeper than the headlines — about AI and what it's doing to us.

How one person works with a whole AI team — lived experience, not a concept
Compound Context and Shared Brain: why your context is capital
AI without the magic: what actually works for everyday knowledge workers
AI burnout and FOMO: the psychology of living in the age of acceleration
The inner critic: can you get it to play on your side
Personal brand and authenticity: how to talk about yourself without faking it
Stage experience

Where and how I speak

01

TEDx Krasnoyarsk

2016 · best talk of the event

The topic — workaholism as a modern pandemic. A turning point: after it I started speaking about work and the human being, not just products.

02

AI Anti-FOMO and AI Friday

weekly · 100+ sessions a year

Live Zoom meetups of 20–40 people: FOMO, burnout, the AI bubble, agents, tools. Open format, no-censorship Q&A.

03

Webinars and hackathons

regularly · audiences of 200–400

AI, storytelling, off-the-beaten-path problem solving. Facilitating hackathons with live demos — I show by doing, not with slides.

Not a lecture — a conversation.

Tell me the venue and the audience, and I'll shape the format to fit.
