John Peslar
Founder
Built Agent-J from the ground up. John's mission: make AI accessible for operators who'd rather build than study. He's the person who figured out how to take someone who's never written a line of code and get them to a working AI system in weeks, not months.
His "My AI Workforce" webinar series (free, every Friday) has brought hundreds of people into the Agent-J ecosystem. Real AI agents, real businesses, live demos. No slides with bullet points.

Balázs Turán
Community Lead
Started as a carpenter, then spent 16 years in digital analytics consulting. Now builds with AI every day, runs the Agent-J community, and teaches people to do the same. Living proof you don't need a computer science degree to build production systems with AI.
Balázs is the person who makes sure nobody gets stuck. If you post a question at midnight, he's likely the first one to answer. Mondays he runs the Claude Cowork Session, where members bring their own Claude setups and work them out live. Wednesdays he runs Claude Code, walking through real codebase work in front of the room. Fridays he co-hosts Office Hours with Alex.

Alex Yao
Lead Instructor
10+ years in AI with a deep development background. Alex is the technical backbone of Agent-J+. He designed the curriculum, teaches Thursday's Prompting Masterclass, and runs the technical deep-dives that turn concepts into working code.
Tuesdays he co-hosts Build It, Weekly Project with John, they switch week to week. Thursdays he runs Prompting Masterclass, where members watch him turn messy briefs into sharp prompts, live. Fridays he co-hosts Office Hours with Balázs. No pre-built demos, no rehearsed walkthroughs. Real building, real mistakes, real solutions.
