AI is a human transformation, not a tech upgrade.

Last weekend, I participated as a trainer alongside my valued partner Attorney Esat Erbil Tavus in the AI and Technology Usage for Lawyers training organized in partnership with Ankara Bar Association's Law and Internship Academy and Ankara Bar HUBİTEM. In our training, I presented the tools I developed such as Yargı MCP (Judiciary MCP) and Mevzuat MCP (Legislation MCP), while Esat shared his experiences on how cutting-edge products like Gemini and Antigravity can be used in legal practice. We also gave a small demo of how our jointly developed Süper Stajyer (Super Intern) application works. I was very happy to receive my plaque from Ankara Bar Association President Mr. Mustafa KÖROĞLU. I thank everyone who contributed, especially Attorney Cenk Levent Eroğlu and Attorney Özge Evci Eralp for their kind invitation.

We hosted the first Claude Code Istanbul meetup sponsored by Anthropic - everyone said they had a great time. Our secret sauce here is simple: Get people to interact. In the first half, Karen Z. from the Claude Code team along with Gözde Sarak, Emin Can Oguz, and J. Emir shared their experiences through presentations. Afterwards, we created a structure where everyone met each other and formed circles around common topics. We had wonderful moments like seeing 3 people in the same conversation - one from a Neuroscience startup, one working in Political Science, and one developing a local LLM. This is how this ecosystem will grow. More to come… Together with Said Sürücü, we also decided to focus on work that touches individuals as well as organizations at Beta Space Studio in 2026. Finally, I want to thank Aykut Balıkcı and his team for the amazing hosting at Paribu Art.

Oh no, people will be exhausted by the time they listen to me! That was my first thought about my afternoon talk at last week's Alive conference. But after listening to the speakers before me, I was glad I came on after them. All the speakers throughout the day delivered the same message: "Look how I made my job 5x easier with AI." Following them was advantageous - it amplified our bottom-up approach at Beta Space Studio. AI transformation in organizations doesn't succeed through top-down C-level or IT director decisions. It succeeds through the initiatives of team leaders, managers, and employees who individually try to make their work more effective and efficient. Transformation always succeeds from bottom-up, not top-down. AI is no exception. Let me tell you this clearly… Organizations that don't see AI as a human transformation rather than a technology transformation will continue to spin their wheels. Special thanks to Brick Institute for hosting us with their excellent curation at this conference.
