Dr. Tali Režun is a Slovenian serial entrepreneur, academic and technologist. Since 2024 he has built production software with AI coding agents, without being a developer by training, and he teaches leaders and developers to do the same. He is Vice Dean of Frontier Technologies and a professor at COTRUGLI Business School, where he created and leads Chasing Jarvis, a hands-on AI agents program in the Vanguard MBA.

He started his first company at 18 and has been building companies for 30 years. Each one began with a bet on a technology before it was obvious: digital recording in 1997, which led to a studio and the record label Hipersound Records; search and content that adds value, through tourism ventures and the agency Online Guerrilla; blockchain and on-chain communication from 2016; and, since 2024, AI agents.

His current builds include The Curator, an open-source, local-first second brain and memory layer for AI agents (github.com/talirezun/the-curator), and Lumina, EU-compliant AI agents that answer a business's customers from its own documents (luminawidget.xyz).

He holds a Doctor of Business Administration from COTRUGLI Business School, with research on content-driven online brand equity. In 2018 he received the Beyond 4.0 Award from the Adriatic Council, and in 2020 he became a UN/CEFACT expert at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). He writes From Lab to Life, field notes from real builds published on Substack and Medium, and advises leadership teams on AI strategy and AI-augmented organisations. He speaks and teaches in English, Slovenian and Croatian, and is learning Italian and is based in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
