AI, automation, and emerging technologies have been pitched as the ultimate solution, but many of the consumer-friendly AI tools out there now fall short, often overpromising and underdelivering. Business Analyst and AI Expert Hugo Lamy is hard at work to solve these issues with Brainbase, an AI workflow tool. With a solid background in AI startups, sales automation, and AI-powered personalization, Hugo is a leading specialist in optimizing the power of AI and unlocking the full potential of the tools available to businesses today. Hugo Lamy Hugo Lamy Brainbase Brainbase As a Founding Growth Engineer at Brainbase, he is using his expertise to guide companies in cutting operational costs by up to 50% by using AI to handle tedious tasks like invoice processing and resume screening. But this is just the latest step in Hugo’s journey, which started with his early success scaling AI startups and has now positioned him as a leader in AI-driven efficiency. The Brainbase Breakthrough: AI Agents as the Future of Business Hugo Lamy's partnership with Brainbase began after an inspiring conversation with Gokhan Egri, the company's innovative founder and CEO. Hugo was immediately drawn to Gokhan's fresh vision for optimizing and deploying AI automation to meet the unique needs of startups and established organizations looking at undergoing a digital transformation. Brainbase isn’t just another AI company. It’s built to make it easier for businesses to create AI-powered apps 20 times cheaper and faster than traditional methods by helping them rapidly prototype and deploy AI solutions without getting stuck in an endless loop of proof-of-concept delays. By simplifying how businesses develop, test prototypes, and launch AI solutions, Brainbase helps them avoid the common challenges associated with tech implementation, such as high development costs, slow prototyping processes, complex deployments, lengthy project delays, and barriers to AI adoption like staff training. This approach has already earned Brainbase the trust of startups, Fortune 500 companies, and government agencies looking to streamline operations with AI-powered automation. With $3.2M in backing from solid investors in the field—like the founders of YouTube and HubSpot—and support from YC alumni and 500 Startups, Brainbase is at the forefront of AI innovation. The secret to Brainbase's success lies in the cutting-edge technology at the foundation of the platform, which was developed by Gokhan Egri during his Harvard CompSci PhD. This innovation optimizes LLM efficiency, which turns scalable, production-ready AI agents into reality.
