About Ahmad Afzal
Product Lead, AgentFabric at Open Innovation AI
AI, products & people. People first, actually.
I lead product for AgentFabric at Open Innovation AI in the UAE. I help founders and product people work out what is worth building, where AI earns its place, and what needs to be true before an agent gets permission to act.
An impressive demo is a bit like a film trailer: the good bits are carefully selected. Let's talk about the rest of the film :)
Bring a messy product question, an early idea, or a roadmap that has become a group wish list. We can work through AI commercialisation, product discovery, GTM strategy, agent governance and evals, fractional product leadership, or your digital footprint and SEO.
My starting point: what problem are we solving, and for whom? People forget that surprisingly quickly once AI enters the room. It should complement our judgement, not take custody of it.
I have personally mentored and advised startups across these areas. Expect candid questions, practical trade-offs and a clearer next step. No motivational fog machine.
Away from product, I play violin. Vivaldi is my favourite. There is also cricket, squash, table tennis and a reading pile that wanders from Marty Cagan to Rumi.
Bring the idea. And the doubts.
