Sebastian Rinnebach

Advisory

I advise founders and executives on where AI creates real leverage, where it falls short, and what to do next.

If you have a specific question in mind or would like to explore a collaboration, please send me a note.

Perspectives

“When it comes to AI guidance, he's the best!”

Alexis John d'Amecourt, Head of Coaching at Mochary Method

“Sebastian is a highly competent visionary whose moral compass, integrity, and heart will always be the cornerstone of all of his work in AI.”

Libby Moore, Executive Leadership Coach and former Chief of Staff to Oprah Winfrey

Writing

• Closing the Loop

  Why reliable AI work depends on turning fuzzy tasks into checkable systems.

• The Illusion of Competence

  Why generative AI without domain expertise can become a form of gambling.

• The Context Loop

  A better way to work with high-reasoning models through iterative context.

About me

Before focusing on AI, I spent time as a Red Cross EMT, worked in finance, and built a career in film and music under the name Sebastian Pille - writing music for more than 50 productions, including The Diary of Anne Frank.

In 2016, a Stephen Hawking article that pointed toward the social implications of AI prompted me to explore alternative business models. This shift eventually led me to Silicon Valley in 2018, where I began exploring generative music and audio applications.

By 2019, this work evolved into building applied systems. This included a project with Stephan Eismann, PhD that measured heart rate from subtle changes in skin color - a browser-based prototype is still available to try. That research led to 59 Breaths, a product combining biofeedback, music, and design (Forbes coverage).

In early 2021, as an OpenAI private beta tester, I learned how to work with language models before prompt engineering became common practice. Later, I built AutoDebug, one of the first agentic coding loops that used GPT4 for debugging Python code.
