Founders

  • name: Omar Abdelaziz
    title: Founder/CEO
    role: CEO
    bio: I've spent more than a half-decade leading teams on Google Assistant and at Scale AI, and hold one of the world's first patents in LLM-based computer-use. Now, I'm on to defining the next era of personal computing :)
  • name: Farhan Hossain
    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: I’m a robotics and product design engineer focused on building thoughtful tools for the world. I hold dozens of patents in hardware and manufacturing, and I care deeply about how things are made and who they’re made for. For over a decade, I’ve worked across robotics, wearables, and consumer electronics. As one of the first engineers on the Apple Vision Pro, I took it from concept to mass production.

    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: I teach computers how to talk. For 20 years this was primarily a deterministic process of design/engineer/tune, but with the arrival of LLMs it now looks more like show/convince/tune. AI is weird, but if it can't be taught how to have a normal spoken conversation with a person, it's not going to work. This is what I work on.
