Become the human
AI can't replace.

Join the waitlist

A fellowship for becoming the new professional of the AI era. High agency. Multi-disciplinary. Fluent with AI. Meet the GenAIralist.

A fellowship for leaders and tech professionals who won’t let AI decide their future.

Tomorrow belongs to people who

connect ideas across domains

synthesize insights others can’t even see

trust human taste over the AI average

move quickly across disciplines

lead with high agency

turn judgment into the edge AI can’t copy

AI is collapsing the distance between roles.

Roles becoming capabilities. The formula:

What each capability means

Generalist Mindset
Range over silo. The more fields you can think in, the more AI can do for you.
AI Native
Not prompting once — orchestrating AI across the whole stack. Knowing what to hand to AI, what to keep, and when.
High Agency
The stairs you take yourself. Nobody assigns the next step — you see it, you take it.
Human Skills
The human exponent — judgment, taste, trust. The more AI does, the more this matters.

People keep saying it.

Every few weeks someone building at the AI frontier says the generalist thing out loud. Different rooms, same conclusion.

Right now, this is just the golden age of the generalist. People that want to do more than one thing — it’s never been more fun.

My two most recent hires were generalists, not specialists… a generalist is more able to adapt because they can see the patterns, connections and abstract a helpful framework faster… There’s no “that’s not my job” mentality.

Agency > Intelligence… Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

The most valuable employees aren’t specialists who excel in narrow domains — they’re resourceful problem-solvers who continuously expand their capabilities.

We hire mostly generalists… the model can fill in the details. 10x engineers definitely exist, and they often span across multiple areas — product and design, product and business, product and infra.

Leaders

Become one. Lead many.

For founders, executives, managers — AI won’t be delegated. Become a GenAIralist yourself, then build them across your org.

Discuss your team

Tech Professionals

Build beyond your title.

For engineers, designers, and builders — the ones who build it. Work that once required handoffs across a large team can now move through a smaller, AI-enabled one.

Join the waitlist

This is the fellowship.

The current direction is a small group of leaders and builders doing real work outside their home disciplines — the engineer tries strategy, the designer ships code — with honest feedback about what’s weak. That’s how range gets built.

  • 01

    You apply the intention is a small group, by application. Leaders and builders, deliberately mixed.

  • 02

    You build the plan is live sessions, real assignments from your own work and direct feedback — not a recorded course.

  • 03

    You leave with proof the aim is a working system for range, AI fluency and judgment, plus shipped work that demonstrates it.

The format may be refined before applications open. People on the waitlist will hear when the application details are ready.

The next cohort is forming.

Leave your email, then confirm it from your inbox. After that, we’ll send one email when applications open.

Andrejs Karpovs speaking on stage at Summer Un-rest in 2024

Two decades a generalist.
Became a GenAIralist

Andrejs Karpovs. Twenty years deep in enterprise IT, and almost never one role at a time — the engineer who became an architect, the architect who took over the project, the project lead who ended up owning the service and the people on it. Cloud platforms, large-scale deliveries, teams across countries: the kind of career where technology and leadership have to live in the same person.

The last five years put that range to work on AI. He leads the transformation programs and still builds the prototypes himself — use cases carried from idea to implementation. So the transition felt natural — and the word almost wrote itself. He coined it, and stepped into it.
