Founder & Engineer at Mental Bound · agentic AI systems for the EU
George Tsimpilis is the founder and lead engineer of Mental Bound — a digital engineering studio he started in Athens in 2015. His work focuses on production AI systems: agentic automation, RAG pipelines, document intelligence, and embedded AI features for SaaS and FinTech teams across the EU.
Trained in Computer Science, George has spent over a decade designing and shipping full-stack software — from cloud infrastructure and data platforms to intelligent web applications. Since 2023 his focus has been agentic engineering: systems that don't just respond, but reason, plan, and act inside production workflows.
He writes and edits the Mental Bound blog and glossary personally, with research support from Anthropic Claude. Topics range from open-source AI infrastructure to commentary on the people and companies shaping modern AI.
A 2017 paper introduced a mechanism called self-attention and quietly redesigned the plumbing of every modern language model. Here is what it does — and why it matters, even if you have never written a line of code.
Why solarpunk's optimistic vision of technology in harmony with nature is exactly what we need as AI transforms everything we build.
A plain-English, step-by-step guide to installing OpenClaw on macOS or Linux — no coding experience required. Covers API key setup, security, and keeping costs low.
