What you'll learn

Escape vendor lock-in through modular agent design

Build systems where switching from GPT to Claude is a five-minute fix, not a five-week rebuild

Make your methodology the engine

Build agentic teams that run on your proprietary approaches, scaling them in a way that is distinctly yours.

Stop agents from freelancing

Don't let the next hot model reinvent your workflow. Assign focused roles, keep creativity where it delivers value.

Why this topic matters

The hyperevolution of AI models punishes rigid systems and rewards adaptive ones. We will learn how to stop betting on new model affordances and vest into timeless designs informed by your unique expertise. Once your methodology is the foundation, model upgrades slot in without disruption. Your competitive moat shift to something no other vendor can offer: how you think.

Principal Director, Handshake

Lev is the co-founder of Handshake, a generative AI software studio that builds bespoke generative AI platforms for Fortune 500 companies and strategic consultancies. 

His consulting background developing intelligence assessments for C-suite teams provided direct exposure to executive decision-making processes — insight that now drives his approach to building AI systems that amplify rather than simply automate strategic judgment.

His methodology centers on extracting tacit organizational knowledge — the unwritten processes that drive competitive advantage — and augmenting internal operations in a way that scales expertise without diluting quality. His proprietary assessment framework helps leadership teams map their knowledge assets and identify where AI can multiply their strategic output while reinforcing their market differentiation.
