Chama Inteligente

Intelligent Flame

AI and technology coaching and consultingLisbon

Written “Chama.”Pronounced “Shama.”

AI what one person can do.

Be ready, so when AI can do something new, you can too.

AI changes more than the tools we use.

It changes how we think, work, organize, and lead.

Most AI courses teach you how to use today’s tools and capabilities for a handful of tasks.

We teach what lasts: the ideas and habits that help you explore your environment for new capabilities that may not have been available yesterday.

So you grow with AI instead of chasing it.

One to one with individuals and small teams.

You meet with Elliot regularly, so he can get to know how you work, keep track of what you are trying to do, and make each conversation build on the last.

Bring the questions, decisions, and ideas in front of you. Or just bring yourself, and Elliot will teach you what is new since the last time you talked, or something old you have not learned yet.

AI and technology coach and consultant

Elliot Himmelfarb holding his daughter Rozalie.

Since 2023, nearly all of his work has been devoted to learning what the most capable AI systems can do, applying them to real work, teaching others, and keeping pace as those capabilities change. Before that, he was a software engineer, starting in 2016.

You get the benefit of that accumulated judgment and experience when you spend time with him.

We also build software.

AI is changing how software gets made.

We consult with individuals and small teams: building software with you, or teaching you to develop it the AI-native way.

We train engineering teams.

Elliot trains engineering teams in agentic engineering: building software with AI agents that plan, write, and verify code.

The capabilities change every few months. Most teams learn a workflow once and let it age. We teach the habits that keep a team evolving with the capabilities, so you are always building the way today’s tools allow, not the way last year’s did.

Be AI-native.

We are Elliot and Annie. We moved to Portugal in the fall of 2023, sight unseen, to explore more of the world, enjoy more of what life has to offer, and have our baby. Our daughter, Rozalie, was born in November 2025.

We are growing our business together, and we want to help people become AI-native, so they can adapt and take advantage of the incredible potential of this rapidly changing world.
