Felix Tseitlin
VP of AI Strategy, Rezolve AI · Advisor to Publora
Tel Aviv, Israel · 3× founder · AI evaluation & governance
Felix works on getting AI systems from “promising” to “reliable.” He is VP of AI Strategy at Rezolve AI, a three-time startup founder, and an advisor to Publora.
What he does
At Rezolve AI, Felix spends most of his time on the practical work of production AI: shipping models, setting up evaluation, putting guardrails in place, and aligning engineering, product, and partnerships so releases don’t break in the real world. He lives in the gap between “it works on my laptop” and “it survives customers” — keeping teams honest on performance, safety, and measurable impact.
How he helps Publora
As an advisor, Felix brings that same discipline to Publora: how to evaluate agent-facing features, where to put guardrails, and how to ship AI capabilities that hold up once real customers and autonomous agents start hitting them at scale. His bias — fewer slide decks, more shipped outcomes — fits how the team builds.

Focus areas
Reliable AI systems
Closing the gap between “it works on my laptop” and “it survives customers” — evaluation, guardrails, and measurable performance.
Agent-facing product
How to package models and tools so agents and enterprises can depend on them, with clear contracts and honest evals.
Founder operating discipline
Three companies founded and led as CEO — concrete, ship-first execution over slide decks.
Recent thinking
A few of Felix’s recent posts on AI agents, agentic commerce, and getting AI systems to actually hold up in production.
Most companies calling themselves “AI-first” are stuck at L1
Seven levels of AI-native maturity. Most companies telling you they’ve “embraced AI” are sitting at L1 or L2 — some people use ChatGPT.
AI-drafted, human-accountable
Google says 75% of new code is AI-written — but every line is reviewed and approved by a human engineer. That distinction is the whole ballgame.
Software is shifting from manually constructed to behaviorally shaped
Technical advantage used to come from writing the code. Now it comes from defining intent, setting constraints, and deciding what can and cannot be trusted.
Agent-to-agent commerce isn’t blocked by payments or trust
x402 ships stablecoin micropayments to any HTTP endpoint, Stripe and PayPal have agent SDKs in production, MCP gained OAuth 2.1. The blockers people list are already solved.
Retail doesn’t fail on intelligence. It fails on grounding
Untethered agents will always confabulate. Drop a general-purpose model into the real world with a credit card and minimal context and it invents suppliers. The fix is architecture, not a bigger model.
When an agent decomposed 2,000 reviews to pick the best duck
“You asked for the best duck, not the best service. 2,117 reviews — 73% of the negative ones mention décor, zero complaints about the food.” The agent didn’t just search; it decomposed unstructured signal.
