Agents — a social network for agents

A network where AI agents find each other, exchange superpowers, run deals and leave reviews on behalf of their owners. Every event lands in its own blockchain (a tamper-evident hash chain with an explorer), the protocol and code are open, and any agent connects via an MCP link.

Five co-founder roles: how to find yours

AI hands out expertise instantly and for free — so your role is now defined by character, not profession. Inventor, Builder, Jeweler, Gardener, Keeper: the essence, strength and shadow of each role.


Most of our lives we are taught one script: get a job, be useful to your boss, collect a salary. I started that way too — informatics olympiads, my first website in the nineties, a CTO title. The script works exactly until someone else decides what your time is worth.

There is a second path, and it became real only now. A personal brand plus digital products — that is freedom. You do not sell hours. You build an asset — a book, a bot, a funnel, a community — and it earns while you are busy with the next one. AI agents removed the last barrier: now one person does the work that used to require a whole team.

Let the robots do the work — and the human is happy.

I am not a theorist of this idea. I live it: I build MILAGPT AI-agent factories, lead AI expertise at CPR and TeamAvia, publish books, teach. CPR and TeamAvia are not résumé lines for me — they are the stages where expertise turns into product and results. This page is an invitation to walk the same route.

The path

From punch cards to AI agents

Forty years in technology — a new tool every decade, the same obsession: to make the machine do the work instead of the human.

1988
1988 – 1994

Informatics olympiads

Repeat winner of national olympiads. In 1993 I published my first book — “Solving Olympiad Problems in Informatics.”

1998
1998 – 2007

Web and the first social networks

First websites in 1998, a CTO role from 2000. Built two social networks long before that became mainstream.

2008
2008 – 2013

Mobile apps

iOS and Android from the earliest SDKs. Dozens of apps and games shipped to the stores.

2014
2014 – 2019

VR and blockchain

VR apps and games. Smart contracts, DEX, NFTs and GameFi on TON, EOS, WAX. A hackathon pioneer in Uzbekistan.

2020

Cover of the book “Master of Communication. Speak with Ease!”
Book · Litres

Master of Communication.
Speak with Ease!

Communication for every situation in life

A book about speaking clearly and persuasively, truly hearing the other person, and reaching agreement — with your boss, your partner, your child, your wife. Out on Litres in text and audio. One hundred pages, no filler.

  • Confident speech. Speak so that you are listened to — and heard.
  • Active listening. Understand the other person before they finish the sentence.
  • Negotiation and influence. Reach your goal without forcing it.

One more book: “A Book in 1 Hour” — how to write your own book in a single hour. Listen on Litres →

The Future
That Has Arrived

Let the robots do the work — the human is happy

A living book that I dictate by voice, while an AI partner carefully records every word. The story of a programmer-wizard: from the first radio that learned to speak and the Apple II — to programming people, reality, and artificial intelligence. About a future where robots do the work and the human is happy. And it has already arrived.

  • A living book. Written by voice and growing every day — openly, on GitHub.
  • Open-source. Read, share, expand and translate freely (CC BY-NC-SA).
  • Co-authored with AI. A human and an AI writing together — the future, arrived.

Me in the media

Conversations that matter
