A decade of AR/VR, one exited agency, one hard letting-go, and a growing stack of things I built just to see if I could.

About — Ainārs Kļaviņš
I've built things that worked, things that didn't, and learned the most from letting go.
I taught myself to code and launched ventures while still in school. That itch became a decade in augmented and virtual reality — and after a stint in sales, marketing and even leading projects for NATO, I found my calling.
In 2013 I founded Overly, the Baltics' first AR-dedicated agency. Eight years, three near-bankruptcies and one full burnout later, I'd scaled it to €1.5M ARR and 30 people — then exited.
I bet the next chapter on Overlyapp, a self-serve AR SaaS. It didn't get traction, and I learned to let some things go. In 2024 I went back to first principles: learned full-stack coding, embraced building in public, and let AI turn ideas into shipped products overnight.
Today I'm VP of Product at Giraffe360 — hardware meets software, scaling fast — with a platform to experiment and disrupt. The rest of my hours go to indie tools, most of them built with AI.
Field notes.
AI is amazing at building the wrong things
When building gets cheap, focus becomes the most expensive skill.
Why AI giants got scared of OpenClaw — and what it means for business
Context is the new moat. Let me explain.
