say hello

Building something around AI memory, agents or on-device models? I read everything that lands in my inbox.

Akhil Ponnada

founder, nuro ai labs

I build AI that remembers, and tools that put it to work.

I run Nuro AI Labs in Edinburgh. I’m building Hypersave to help AI apps remember useful context. I also work on models that run on a laptop and tools for businesses.

01About

  • My background is in business, and I taught myself machine learning. I like taking an idea far enough that someone can actually use it.
  • Most of my work is about memory: what an AI system should keep, when it should look something up, and how small a model can be while still being useful.
  • MSc International Business Management, Heriot-Watt University. Before that, a BBA from Amity University.

now

  1. 01Shipping Hypersave and Lumen.
