Prague · Building Ctrl AI
With my Prague studio Quest Group, I've been building digital products since 1999 — shipping through every shift from the first mobile phones to publishing, web3, and now AI.
Today I'm building Ctrl AI — the standard parts catalog for the agent era. On the side, HumanRepo, a memory layer you own. I've been all-in on AI since the night ChatGPT launched in 2022. What follows is that story, written as it happened.
Writing
All writing →Where this is going
The last note in the arc — from a browser tab in 2022 to building the layer agents stand on, and the one question that outlasts every tool
The boring layer
Everyone's watching the ceiling — hour-long agents, slick demos — but the dull layer underneath is where the keys stay, and that's the part my father taught me to build
Two products, one thesis
People ask which of my two products is the real one — but trust for agents and ownership for people turned out to be the same problem wearing two faces
You stay the author
An assistant overshared a dossier of me I never wrote — so I'm building memory I own, where the AI proposes and I ratify
Parts an agent won't regenerate
A part is verified when the agent stops arguing with it — on conformance, attestation, and a trust badge that shows verified versus generated
Building in the open
The first parts have shipped — now the real work is the contract a piece of software must satisfy before an agent will trust it instead of rewriting it
Work
Ctrl AI
2022–The standard parts catalog for the agent era. A neutral registry of verified, production-grade parts that AI coding agents trust and never regenerate — you only sew the seams. My full-time focus.

Nftown — Web3 infrastructure
2021A decentralized infrastructure layer for companies. Real utility, not speculation. But the NFT hype and the scams that rode it killed the technology before it could mature.

AI-powered mortgage platform
2019Hyponamíru — an AI-driven mortgage platform that reduced the entire application to ten minutes, from document scanning to approval. A complete rethink of how financial services work.

JudRobot — Legal AI
2018Our first AI product. We wanted to bring AI into legal practice. It was too early — the models weren't ready to carry it yet. But the thesis was right, and it never left me.

World's first weekly iPad magazine
2010Shortly after the iPad arrived, we built RP+ for Rheinische Post — the world's first weekly iPad-only magazine. 100,000+ downloads. Six media awards.
Rheinische Post Mediengruppe
Native apps for German media
2008Apple changed everything. There was no app market in the Czech Republic, so we went to Germany — building four paid iPhone apps for Rheinische Post, one of the country's largest media houses.

Content distribution at scale

Mobile internet and color
2003As color came to phones, our dreams started to come true. We built photo and internet services for operators across CZ and SK — the infrastructure that made mobile content real.
O2 Czech Republic
First mobile multiplayer game
2001For Eurotel, the biggest Czech operator, we built SMS games as the first online social apps. People could chat, team up, compete. 300,000+ players — years before the App Store existed.
