Frequently posts about AI agents, knowledge graphs, decision intelligence, and constructive dialogue workshops, with a focus on enterprise AI transformation and retail applications
Intro
I'm Akhil Singh, Founder and CEO at Questt.ai, where I'm building enterprise-grade AI agents and knowledge graphs. My journey started with founding a shared cab service in college, then building a second-screen engagement platform, and now leading Questt AI, which has raised over $9M and initially served over 2 million students. I'm passionate about transforming enterprise AI beyond demos—focusing on scale, trust, and measurable impact through integrated data and context. I also care deeply about constructive dialogue across differences and am developing workshops to help navigate tough conversations. I offer insights on AI transformation and decision intelligence, and I'm looking to connect with enterprise leaders, AI professionals, and anyone interested in building next-level AI applications or engaging in meaningful dialogue.

Opinions
- "Experimentation is common; transformation is rare." True enterprise AI requires scale, trust, measurable impact, and must be built on a foundation of integrated data and context (an "Intelligence Warehouse") to move beyond demos
- AI demos are fundamentally different from SaaS demos. They are non-deterministic, strategic explorations that uncover possibilities and co-create future visions, rather than just validating predictable features
- "The hardest part isn't the graph. It's getting the logic out of people's heads." Believes humans cannot reliably articulate their own decision logic, creating an "innovation gap" for AI
- With AI automating the brain, humanity is at a historical inflection point with "no obvious next rung on the ladder," which is either terrifying or exciting
