About

I’m Deep Katyal — builder, strategist, pilot, and father — navigating the edge of what’s possible in technology, AI, and brand creation. Over the last two decades, I’ve helped design and scale intelligent systems at the intersection of mobile, voice, media, and AI. From early work on input frameworks at Samsung and gesture tech at Swype, to launching Nuance Voice Ads, to shaping monetization and data strategy at Qualcomm, my career has been a deep dive into product innovation that replaces complexity with elegance. Today, I lead product at Advangelists, where we’re building autonomous marketing infrastructure powered by agentic AI — systems that plan, create, launch, and optimize across the internet without human hand-holding. The goal isn’t assistance. It’s execution at scale — with no friction, no bloat, and no guesswork. Beyond that, I co-founded Aambrosia Wines, India’s first premium fruit wine brand — because I believe a great narrative deserves an equally bold flavor. I’ve also advised stealth startups in AI, adtech, and commerce, mentored through Techstars, and backed frontier ventures like BioSymetrics. I don’t just chase what’s next — I help build it. Whether it’s zero-input AI systems, voice-enabled experiences, or culturally resonant consumer brands, I focus on what moves people and markets. If you're working on applied AI, distributed attention, or reshaping how things scale — let's connect.

Product Architect | Engineering the End of Manual Marketing

Oct 2017Present · 8 yrs 7 mos · Greater Seattle Area

  • Founder | Product Architect | Engineering the End of Manual Marketing
  • I build systems that eliminate the need for fragmented tools, bloated teams, and guesswork in growth.
  • In 2025, my focus is on agentic AI — autonomous software that plans, creates, launches, and optimizes marketing across every surface of the internet. These aren’t assistants. They are operators. Designed to learn, adapt, and execute without prompts or supervision.
  • At Mobiquity Technologies, I lead the development of full-stack intelligence engines that unify creative automation, media buying, and performance management into a single self-improving loop. The goal isn’t efficiency. The goal is zero-friction scale — the kind of scale that happens when human input becomes optional.
  • I’m also building something else — quietly. A new kind of platform that merges real-time attention, AI-driven narrative, and distributed influence. It operates where media, behavior, and machine learning intersect. It’s early. But it’s working.
  • If you’re serious about applied AI, automated persuasion, or the future of marketing without marketers — let’s talk.
