Hi, I'm Klemen.

I help leaders and teams turn AI from a tool into an organisational capability. That means finding where judgement and coordination really happen — usually in the messy middle of the business — and redesigning the workflows so decisions get better and faster, without creating new risk.

I also build. At Luminous Group I designed a multi-agent system with five AI agents, isolated memory, and deliberate coordination. At ViaVia I ship products — from AI-powered memory videos to production frameworks with human approval gates. The common thread: I understand how people actually work under pressure, and I design systems that make that work better.

I like working with people who care about doing the work well: who value clarity over noise, ownership over posturing, and progress over perfection. I'm most useful when there's real complexity on the table and no obvious playbook.

How I work

I care about the team, I work hard, I tell the truth, and I try to understand before I optimise. I'm at my best with people who want clarity, momentum, and outcomes.

Hands-on by default. Asking questions early, surfacing problems before they harden. The work lives between people, product, and technology — being comfortable in all three is what makes the difference.

Sport taught me to read people before reading data. Coaching taught me patience — and that the best intervention is usually a good question, not a good answer. Showing up is the whole thing.

Experience

  • Consultant Luminous Group

    Munich, Germany • Jul 2025Present

    • Luminous Group is a human-centred AI consultancy helping organisations move from AI adoption to AI capability — designing governance, workflows, and implementation systems that produce measurable outcomes.
    • Built Luminosity — the firm’s internal multi-agent system. Five AI agents with isolated memory and deliberate message-passing coordination. No shared context by default — if it’s not explicit, it doesn’t happen.
    • Built internal systems: CRM integrations (Attio, Linear, GitHub), operational tooling, and agent-mediated workflows that keep the team coordinated without adding meetings.
    • Created AI-augmented workflows used across the company — designing how we work with AI, not just advising others on it.
    • Published research on AI augmentation strategy — "What Agents Cannot Want," "Open the Window," "More Than a Mirror," and "The Racing Yacht" — four pieces that form the firm’s intellectual foundation on human-AI collaboration.
    • Work spans strategic consulting (client-facing workshops, capability assessments, workflow redesign) and hands-on building (prototyping AI tools, integrating systems, shipping internal products).

  • Co-Founder ViaVia

    • ViaVia is a product studio — we build and ship digital products: apps, AI workflows, automation agents, SaaS, websites. Currently shipping Viadio (AI-powered memory videos from phone photos), ShipStack (production framework with 7 AI departments and human approval gates), and Celestia (localised astrology for underserved markets).
    • Leading product development from concept to live platform — core architecture, UX decisions, and the multi-product strategy that makes each new product ship faster than the last.
    • Built and iterated MVPs hands-on with my co-founder. Designed ShipStack as the shared production backbone across all ViaVia products.

What You Govern Determines What You Become

AI systems optimise what is specified; they do not determine what ought to be specified. If the objective encoded three years ago was incomplete, the system has been compounding that gap at scale — into pricing, hiring, incentives, and capital allocation. The dashboards stay green the entire time.

The Resolution of Intelligence

AI integration often erodes human judgement rather than enhancing it. When systems replace judgement long enough, practitioners lose the capacity to originate decisions independently. The most valuable organisations in forty years will be those that preserved and elevated human authorship, not those that optimised it away.

What Agents Cannot Want

In an agent-mediated world, execution becomes abundant. What becomes scarce is direction driven by human intent. When agents raise the standard, they erase the old signal that 'good work' once carried—and scarcity migrates upward, from making things to deciding which things deserve to exist.

Open the Window

Using AI at work is not cheating—when it is used to augment human judgment and capability, not replace it. A framework for organizations to permit, equip, and audit AI-assisted work.

More Than a Mirror

AI isn't lacking—most of the time, it's a you-problem. Bring vague questions and thin knowledge, and AI will upscale your vagueness. This article explores the Augmentation Arc: Mirror, Lens, Lighthouse, and Prism—four modes that transform how we work with AI from reflection to resonance.

The Racing Yacht

Steve Jobs called the computer a 'bicycle for the mind'—but that metaphor no longer fits. In the age of AI, leaders need to think less like cyclists and more like sailors. This piece explores how augmentation requires collective intelligence, turning ambient signals into strategic advantage.
