About
About Me
Tali Despins is an AI enablement product engineer, public speaker, Claude Ambassador and businesswoman. A multidisciplinary builder with 16+ years across design, marketing, front-end development and entrepreneurship, she founded and scaled the brand Max Venom before moving into AI. Her work today focuses on AI enablement: helping organizations adopt AI in ways that are practical, sustainable and psychologically informed, and every product decision is weighed with a business owner's eye for strategy, marketing and ROI.
That perspective is grounded in a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and more than three years as a lab manager in the Lupyan Lab, studying how language shapes thought, memory and perception.
Speaking
The Human Side of AI Adoption
I speak on the part of AI adoption most organizations skip: the human side. My talks help teams understand the cognitive shifts, creative implications and psychological factors that determine whether AI adoption actually sticks, and what to do about it. Available for conferences, keynotes and workshops.
Claude Ambassador
Building AI Communities
As a Claude Ambassador empowered by Anthropic's Claude Code Community program, I work with local AI communities across Tel Aviv and Madison, Wisconsin to connect ecosystems and help people meaningfully adopt emerging technology through hands-on education, events and real-world collaboration.
