Ismail Pelaseyed, the CTO and co-founder of Superagent, is dedicated to building open source AI and agent frameworks, aiming to make it easy for mainstream developers without ML expertise to integrate AI into their applications. He has built KeyCrunch (now Hyperdrive) which generates ad materials with the help of AI agents, and later developed Superagent to enable developers to build with AI agents and train models using a pipeline. Ismail uses Replit for rapid prototyping and has deployed Superagent's backend API using Autoscale Deployments, enabling developers to find and use their tools. He has built various prototypes and proof-of-concepts showcasing the capabilities of Superagent, including an AI assistant for code reviews and a large language model that leverages the internet to output real-time responses.
