AI systems that think with you, not for you

Most AI tools leave business owners as users. With CollaBoss, I build the systems that make them operators, and I teach people to build their own.

Experience

A UX designer who became a social entrepreneur, a producer and a builder of AI systems. Years of work with people, from setting up entrepreneurship centers for teenagers to leading educational and community programs, taught me that good technology starts with the person.

  1. Now · CollaBoss

    Founder

    Every system I've built started from a real need in RelationScreens. One owner can't be developer, marketer, finance and operations all at once, so instead of hiring a team, I built one: an organization of AI agents, each with its own role. Now I build such systems for entrepreneurs, business owners and creators.

    How I work: start from the problem, not the technology. Build a system, not an add-on. Simple outside, smart inside.

The book

In writing · out in 2027

How to become a ScreenSaver

How to simply be in the digital age

The problem isn't the technology. It's how we're steered to use it. In the years I've spent going deeper into digital balance, learning it and speaking about it, I've come to see that this isn't a problem of addiction. It's a problem of design and training.

If not for Rotem, I would still be sitting with the thought that I'm behind and everyone is already flying ahead. Thanks to Rotem, I'm flying on my own and I understand that there is no limit to what I can build next. He doesn't just set up systems and agents for me. He also guides me in using them and creating things on my own with their help.

Adi NudelCEO and founder, Financial Cat

It's simply unbelievable, the things I do with the agents Rotem built for me. I work in a very technical environment, with very talented developers, and it's always fun to see how stunned they are by the level of my agents and systems.

Jonathan Abraham SalemCEO and founder, RECIV.net

The things Rotem built are truly crazy. He understands agents, understands people, and above all, what's between them.

The vision

a world where people operate technology instead of being used by it.
