Tell us about Ability AI
Ability AI is an AI-first company specialising in developing autonomous AI agents and agentic systems.
Founded in 2023, Ability AI is currently focused on performance marketing. Its autonomous AI agents automate the entire marketing cycle – from strategy and content creation to media buying and analytics. With a user-friendly AI assistant, the platform allows businesses to develop, launch, and optimise digital marketing campaigns seamlessly, ensuring faster setup and better results.
How did you come up with the idea for the company?
With my friend and co-founder Alex, whom I met while working at WebiNerds (the first company I founded), we began experimenting with AI agents, initially focusing on their foundational development. Our first project was an AI-powered project management agent designed to be a virtual Project Manager. However, the concept evolved as development progressed, leading us to new opportunities and directions. Eventually, we shifted our focus to marketing, where results could be clearly measured and optimised.
Ability AI is unique in that we outperform almost all alternatives in terms of speed of integration and the assembly of new Agentic Systems for specific customers’ needs. Although the company is currently focused on automating paid marketing, our technology enables the creation of AI agents for various business needs.

What is your advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?
From my experience, one of the most important lessons is learning to be comfortable with uncertainty. You won’t always know exactly how things will unfold, but you must keep moving forward despite that.
The second crucial factor is tenacity. It involves not giving up and pushing forward, as results often come in jumps and stages. For a long time, you may not see any tangible outcomes from your efforts. However, over time, it reaches a critical mass, and then you notice a rapid shift toward the positive.
Another key piece of advice for entrepreneurs is just to start. You will learn along the way, fail, and learn from your mistakes. Then, you will succeed. This is a long and painful journey, but it’s incredibly rewarding when it works.
Always remember why you started. What’s your mission? What impact do you want to make? Who do you want to help? Remembering your purpose will fuel you through tough times and keep you moving forward.
What most excites you about Ability AI?
