About

Most businesses know they need AI. Very few know where to start. That's the gap Semolina AI is built for, a no-code AI agent platform that lets non-technical teams turn their website into an intelligent, automated chat experience. As Co-Founder, I work across product, UX, and GTM, spending most of my time talking to customers and making AI feel less intimidating for the people who need it most. I'm also a 4th year CSE (AIML) student at Alliance University, building a live product while still in college, learning from both worlds in real time. If you're a founder or builder, let's connect, my DMs are always open for a good conversation.
