Business development and AI adoption

An entrepreneur with nine years of experience across four industries. I master a new field fast, build its processes and economics and take the venture to results. I have been studying neural networks since 2022. Today I specialise in training teams and bringing artificial intelligence into business.

A recent case

AI training for library staff in the Surgut district

Library staff learned to create posts, visuals, video and presentations with neural networks for their work with readers. The regional TV channel “Yugoria” ran a story about it.

I work together with the Upgrade agency team. We were among the first in the city to teach businesses to work with neural networks systematically.

Today the only limit to how we use AI is our imagination. We already have all the tools we need
