Amol Kelkar — CEO
Founder-scientist-engineer and enterprise AI architect with 25+ years building software platforms used by hundreds of millions of users, and a consistent track record of anticipating major AI inflection points 12–18 months ahead of the industry. Currently leading agentic AI strategy at Qualtrics, spanning AI architecture, LLM strategy, model foundries, developer upskilling, and product re-platforming around autonomous agents. Creator of Playbooks, an open-source Software 3.0 framework that treats natural language as code and LLMs as processors, introducing semantic compilation, hybrid NL/Python execution, and debuggable agent runtimes. Previously co-founded and led AI R&D at Got It AI (acquired), where I built enterprise GenAI systems such as AutoRAG and TruthChecker—adopted at scale and ahead of academic publication cycles. My work sits at the intersection of programming languages, AI systems, and computational neuroscience, with long-horizon AGI research focused on biologically inspired architectures, and a career spanning multiple startups, acquisitions, patents, and deep technical leadership.
