The Human Behind the Wizard

I'm Adam, but online I go by Mentis. I wear a few hats - AI Specialist at Data#3, co-founder of GAI Insights, and builder of random things that shouldn't work but somehow do.

My journey started with a simple realization: the gap between "having an idea" and "shipping something" is where most people get stuck. I was stuck there too, cycling through tutorials, planning endlessly, never shipping.

Then AI changed everything. Suddenly, the barrier to building dropped dramatically. I stopped learning and started shipping. AR apps, games, automation tools, browser extensions. Not all perfect, but all real.

Now I help others make that same shift. Less theory, more building. Less planning, more shipping. That's what Vibe Academy is about.
