AI does the work. People make the calls.

I build it at Vestigio and teach it at SensAI.

CTO & Partner at Vestigio. Co-founder and mentor at SensAI. I talk about AI-native SEO, swarms of AI agents and the learning loop that stays in the company when models change.AI-native SEO, swarms of AI agents and a learning loop that stays in the company.

Festiwal I ❤️ Marketing & Technology Poznań 2026 / I ❤️ AI

„Frontier AI ecosystem”

Your edge in AI won't be access to the best model, but what you build on top of it. I'll show how to connect agents, data, memory, expert feedback and private evals into a loop that makes your company's IP stronger with every run 🥷

ABOUT

About me

Robert Niechciał

I've been in SEO since 2004, an engineer since 2011 and a data head for as long as I can remember 😅

Today I'm CTO and Partner at Vestigio - Data Science SEO Agency and co-founder of SensAI. I love tech that can be used for optimization. It used to be mostly reverse engineering Google's algorithms - now it's AI, automation and teams of agents.

For the past year we've been building Vestigio as an AI-native agency: not "AI-assisted", not another dashboard, but a system with AI at the core of every process.
→ procedures, agents and data access instead of more tools
→ the system comes to where the team already works
→ AI does the HOW, people own the WHAT and the WHY

I give talks and training in Poland and at the biggest SEO conferences worldwide. I co-organize Kulturalnie o SEO and I'm the content curator of WhitePress conferences.

Models you can rent. The loop you have to build 🥷

BUILDING

Companies I build

Co-founder & Mentor

SensAI is an academy for SEO specialists who want to build and evaluate AI systems, not just use them. I lead the international (EN) market and mentor the courses.

One rule: nothing leaves the system without a source and a test.

Stages

Co-organizer and curator

I co-organize Kulturalnie o SEO and traditionally open it with a keynote. Since 2023 I've been the content curator of WhitePress conferences, from SEO & Content Camp to SEO Vibes Summit.

TOPICS

Talk topics

01

Orchestrating a Swarm of SEO AI Agents with a Second Brain

How to build and run a swarm of SEO AI agents: the coordinator plans, delegates, reads the result and decides, while knowledge stays in the company's second brain. Delegation is architecture, not a prompt.

SEO Mastery Summit 2026, Baltic-Nordic SEO Summit 2026

02

Frontier AI ecosystem

The edge isn't access to the best model, it's what you build on top: expert judgment → agent execution → traces → private evals → correction → a better system on the next run.

03

AI-Native SEO Agency: One Year, No BS

One year of building an AI-native agency: procedures, agents, data - and why changing how people work takes longer than the tech. From human in the loop to human near the loop.

SEO Latvia Meetup #11

Workshops: “AI agents for SEO by SensAI Academy” / “SensAI: AI agents in SEO”. The language layer of SEO and GEO: semantic role labeling, entity salience, frame semantics, chunking, information retrieval.
