In this Project Onboarding session for Coherence 2025, Greg Judelman (founder of ReGenAI) joins Bart Hoorweg to explore the philosophical roots, practical experiments, and future aspirations of regenerative AI.
Greg shares the vision behind ReGenAI as both a venture and development studio focused on building prototypes and platforms that align with planetary health. He introduces the idea of Ecological AI — a paradigm grounded in nature-consciousness rather than extractive logic — and emphasizes the narrow five-year window we may have to embed life-affirming values into the operating systems of future infrastructure.
The conversation also explores how AI tools are disrupting traditional product development workflows, opening new possibilities for micro-teams to launch meaningful ventures with velocity — yet raising new questions around collaboration, ownership models, and workflow design.
Topics explored:
🔹 ReGenAI’s three streams: AI development, venture building, and movement leadership
🔹 The concept of Ecological AI as a moonshot vision for embedding nature’s intelligence into AI systems
🔹 Co-designing infrastructure that regenerates rather than extracts — from soil to systems
🔹 The shift from grant-dependence to viable regenerative business models
🔹 ReGenAI’s approach to flexible ownership and value exchange across projects
🔹 How AI is enabling solo and small-team innovation — and the need for new collaboration tools
🔹 Building in public: how sharing ideas early accelerates alignment and feedback
🔹 Designing for dual time horizons: immediate prototypes + deep-future vision
🔹 Coherence as a community of builders ready to move from discussion to co-creation
✨ This is essential listening for regenerative technologists, AI developers, systems designers, and future-builders seeking to craft technology in service of life.
