About

With a background in finance and a strong focus on AI, I explore how generative technologies can be applied to real-world challenges. In recent years, I’ve worked with tools like ChatGPT, avatars, AI video generation, AI-powered translation, and intelligent automation — creating solutions that streamline workflows, generate content, and uncover insights. I’m driven by the potential of AI to transform how we work, create, and communicate — and I help others do the same. I also share practical AI experiments, news, and real-world use cases — including agent-based solutions — in my Telegram channel: t.me/aiagekz
