I'm Max Postnikov. I explore how AI works in real life and business, teach people and companies to use it, and keep building new things with it every day. Twenty years of products behind me — from Otvety Mail.ru (Russia's largest Q&A service) to my own AI team: I test AI on myself, then bring you what actually works. I explain hard ideas in plain words.
Five working principles I use to build products and my AI team.
Context as capital.
Every conversation, note, and decision feeds the next. Knowledge grows at compound interest — if you bank your context instead of dumping it into throwaway chats. The one idea everything else stands on.
Your knowledge lives in your files, not someone else's cloud — open to you and your agents alike.
Agents write the drafts; the decisions, the taste, and the responsibility stay with you.
Repeatable workflows that assemble the result step by step, like an assembly line.
Not a single assistant but a team, each with its own turf, under your direction.
Everything I recommend works for me first. Otherwise I wouldn't be talking about it.
This isn't an assistant or a chat. It's a team: each agent has its role, and I hold the decisions and the responsibility.
And that's not the ceiling: ad-hoc subagents spin up for a specific task — researchers, auditors, builders. The team assembles around the work, not the other way around.
Pick what fits you: learn on the course, bring AI into your company, or join a community that already lives in the future.
You build your own AI team in Obsidian and learn to work with agents hands-on. Not magic — a system you can repeat without me.
About the course →I bring AI into your team and your processes — from audit to working use cases. Not a talk about the future, but something people actually use on Monday.
Learn more →A community of practitioners where the new shows up before it hits the articles. 100+ people building with AI every day.
Go PRO →Personal work on your problem. Not a commodity, not a pipeline: a few seats, deep immersion, and a result I stand behind personally.
A closed circle of founders who are rolling AI out for real: two hours a week — hot seats, teardowns of what works, and my own material. €1000/mo — and that's the filter.
Not magic — a system.
Everything described here works for me every day. Start from any door:
