Training, tools and research at the practical end of AI.
Bulgarian-language courses in programming, machine learning and AI · AI automation for small
businesses · applied AI/ML research.
Courses. Programming, Python, machine learning, LLMs and AI automation, taught in Bulgarian. Live online, plus hands-on hackathons in the mountains. Technical terms stay in English, because that is what you will meet in the documentation.
IT and AI services. Automation and custom tools for individuals and small businesses — the kind of work that is usually quoted as an enterprise project and does not have to be. Remote, and in person around Blagoevgrad and Sandanski.
Research. Applied AI/ML, with a long-standing interest in symbolic AI, ontologies and knowledge graphs.
Public tools and demonstrations, most of them built with AI agents and documented so you can see exactly how they were made.
-
meme-collagen — a browser meme and collage editor with no dependencies, no build step and no server. Try it. Written by an AI agent from four prompts in a single session; the README shows the numbers.
-
antigravity-scribe — a VS Code extension that captures an agent session from the Antigravity IDE — chat turns, thinking blocks, tool calls — into an Obsidian vault as structured Markdown. For anyone who wants a durable record of what their agents actually did.
SciScend is run by Iva Popova — trainer in Python, machine learning and front-end development since 2015, software engineer since 2002, and a former assistant professor of AI and programming languages at the Technical University of Sofia. Doctoral research in AI systems: semantic retrieval, ontologies and NLP.
The company is deliberately one person plus a lot of automation. The repositories here are part of the argument that this is now enough.
