About

Anwar Bouilouta

I went to Brunel on a rugby scholarship through Ealing Trailfinders, until three concussions called time.

Then corporate real estate at CBRE, a first investment property, and a one-way flight to Australia.

Now I run ABAI from anywhere, fixing the bottlenecks that eat service businesses' time, and I give the useful bits away free.

Automation that pays for itself, not AI for show.

Not exactly a straight line from the rugby pitch to here.

    Rugby first

    A rugby scholarship at Brunel through Ealing Trailfinders. Three concussions later, I hung up the boots.

    The leap

    Left corporate for a one-way flight to Australia, learned AI and automation, finished Oxford's AI Programme, and started ABAI.
