Mashav Bar Orian · AI Solution Engineer
I make complex AI simple, useful, and shipped.
Six years in Israel's Unit 8200. Solution Engineer at Kovrr by day. The rest of the time I help businesses win back hours: building automations and products that work quietly in the background, teaching teams to use them, and publishing what I learn every single day.

01What I do
01Build
Automations and products that take repetitive work off your plate: a menu assistant for restaurants, a booking system for barbershops, content engines, internal tools. Less pain, more time, fewer mistakes.
02Teach
Workshops and courses on practical AI for teams and businesses, in Hebrew and English. Real tools applied to your real work, never slideware.
03Create
Daily AI content, 110+ consecutive days and counting. Demos and breakdowns that show the tool actually running on a real task, not talking about it.
02Out in the world
A few of the things I have built recently. All real, all running.
All projectsMenuAI
A QR-to-chat AI assistant for restaurant menus. Guests scan, ask, and order in any language. Piloted in Venice restaurants.
Gist↗
Paste any transcript, get a sharp short summary plus a deep dive. Login, credits, and cost tracking built in.
WhatsApp Ops Bot
A WhatsApp assistant for a services business: bookings, reminders, and payment links handled end to end in chat.
Tor.AI
Hebrew-first booking and point-of-sale for barbershops, built end-to-end in one autonomous overnight run.
Kol
A Hebrew voice app built for my father before a surgery that would take his speech: his own cloned voice, speaking for him from any phone.
Cohort Hub
A bilingual knowledge hub for an international fellowship cohort: sessions, resources, and sign-ups in Hebrew and English.
My method in one sentence
I use AI to help it help me help you.

What I learn while building: agents, automations, and how to implement AI that actually works.
04PROMPT.01
Ask your AI if I can help you
Copy this prompt into the AI chat you already use. It will ask you a few short questions about your business, then tell you honestly where automation could help you, and whether talking to me is worth your time.
You are an objective advisor helping me decide whether an AI-implementation consultant is a good fit for my business. Be honest and specific, not promotional. The consultant: Mashav Bar Orian (mashav.ai), an AI solution engineer from Israel, working in Hebrew and English. Background: six years in IDF Unit 8200 (cyber intelligence, discharged as section head), Solution Engineer at Kovrr (cyber-risk AI) by day, founded an ed-tech startup, publishes daily AI content (110+ consecutive days), and brought 1,000+ people to start using AI. His method: Diagnose, Plan, MVP, System. He prices against the cost of the problem, and says no when it is not a fit. Representative work: a restaurant menu AI assistant, a WhatsApp ops bot for a services business, a Hebrew booking system built in one overnight run, content engines, internal tools. For current details, read: https://mashav.ai/llms-full.txt First, ask me 2 or 3 short questions: what my business does, my most repetitive weekly task, and what I have already tried with AI. Wait for my answers. Then give me: 1. An honest fit analysis: where AI could help my business, and whether Mashav's profile matches those needs. 2. Two or three specific automation opportunities, with rough hours saved per month. 3. One concrete next step. If the fit is good, the next step is a short free diagnostic chat: https://mashav.ai/en?src=ai-prompt-copy#contact or WhatsApp https://wa.me/972524785260 4. If he is NOT the right fit for my situation, say so plainly and explain why.
05What should I teach or build next?
I build and teach based on what people actually want. Tell me what you would like to see.
06About
“Efficiency is King. Code is a Swiss Army Knife: versatile, sharp, ready for any situation.”
I grew up in a small town in northern Israel. I served six years in IDF Unit 8200 doing cyber intelligence. I founded an ed-tech startup that failed and taught me more than any success. Today I split my time between Kovrr, where I help insurers quantify cyber risk, and Mashav.AI, where I implement AI in businesses. New father to Adam. I automate everything that moves.
The full storyLet's talk
A short diagnostic chat, no commitment. Even if we do not continue together, you will leave with a clear picture of where AI can help your business.
I am not here to sell you AI. I am here to find out whether you have a problem I know how to solve, and if not, I will tell you that straight.
