Hi, I'm Yuriy

Product Lead at Nomology, AI enthusiast, and the guy behind Tekta.ai

Hey there! This is my passion project where I spill everything I know about AI, LLMs, and the tools that are quietly taking over the world (in a good way, I promise). After spending years knee-deep in AI tech as a Product Lead, I figured it was time to build something that cuts through the hype and actually helps people figure out this whole AI thing.

My AI Journey

Sure, I work with AI products all day at Nomology, but here's the thing: this stuff fascinates me way beyond the 9-to-5. I'm that guy who reads AI research papers for fun and gets genuinely excited about new model releases. I know, I need to get out more.

The Problem I Saw

Let's be honest: the AI world moves faster than a caffeinated startup founder. New tools pop up daily, companies change direction like they're playing AI whack-a-mole, and research papers drop that make yesterday's breakthrough look like a calculator. Keeping up requires the dedication of a full-time job, which most people don't have time for (shocking, I know).

My Solution

Enter Tekta.ai, my attempt to solve this madness. I test the AI tools myself (yes, even the weird ones), stalk the companies worth watching, and share the hard-won insights from my years in the trenches. Think of it as the AI guide I desperately needed when I was starting out, but with less confusion and more actual useful stuff.

My Mission

Here's what bugs me: AI knowledge gets hoarded in ivory towers and corporate boardrooms like it's some secret sauce. That's ridiculous. Through Tekta.ai, I'm breaking down the jargon, translating the techno-babble, and helping real people make smart decisions about AI tools without needing a PhD in computer science.

What You'll Find Here

Everything on Tekta.ai comes from actually using this stuff in the real world, not just reading press releases and pretending to be an expert. Here's what I actually share:

Hands-On Tool Reviews

I actually use every AI tool I write about. No joke. From Claude to ChatGPT, Midjourney to Perplexity, I put them through their paces and tell you what's worth your time (and money). Spoiler alert: not everything that claims to be "revolutionary" actually is.

Company Deep Dives

I keep tabs on the AI companies that actually matter (and some that just think they do). From the big players like OpenAI and Google to scrappy startups that might just change the game, I break down their strategies, leadership moves, and whether their hype matches reality.

Industry Pulse

The AI world moves at warp speed, and I translate the chaos into something actually useful. My pulse articles cut through the noise to give you the developments, funding rounds, and strategic moves that actually matter. It's like having an AI-obsessed friend who reads everything so you don't have to.

Learning Resources

AI doesn't have to be rocket science (even though some people want you to think it is). I take the intimidating stuff and make it actually make sense, sharing the practical tips and lessons I wish someone had taught me when I was fumbling around in the beginning.

Implementation Guides

Step-by-step tutorials for actually building AI solutions that work. I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to. These aren't theoretical guides—they're battle-tested blueprints from someone who's been in the trenches.

Expert Insights

I talk to the people actually building this stuff—AI executives, researchers, and founders who are shaping the future. No fluff interviews, just honest conversations about what's really happening behind the scenes.

Why This Matters to Me

I went to UC Berkeley and have been in tech for years, but this AI wave feels completely different. This isn't just another "revolutionary" technology that fizzles out. This is the real deal, changing how we work, create, and think about problems.

At Nomology, I watch AI transform how we build products every single day. But what really gets me excited is how these tools are democratizing capabilities that used to require teams of specialists. Suddenly, anyone with a laptop can do things that seemed impossible just a few years ago.

Tekta.ai is my way of paying it forward. I share what I learn, what surprises me, and my honest take on where this crazy train is headed. Whether you're deep in the AI trenches, AI-curious, or just trying to figure out what all the fuss is about, hopefully you'll find something useful here.

"The only way to really understand AI is to get your hands dirty with it. Tekta.ai is basically my ongoing experiment in figuring this stuff out and sharing what actually works."
