Nirman Dave is the Founder and CEO of Obviously AI, a No-Code AI tool that enables anyone to quickly build and run AI models, without writing code. Growing up in a small town in India, Nirman was always fascinated by computers, and he taught himself how to code from YouTube videos, kickstarting his journey into creating beautiful projects that people would love. Eventually these projects became products, and products became companies—notably Obviously AI.

Built for the modern Business Analyst that wants to use AI but doesn’t have the technical know-how to do so, Obviously AI works in a simple 3 step process: users upload historical data of past events, and the system automatically builds a state of the art AI model to predict outcomes, which is ready to use in minutes. This is far more efficient than traditional AutoML tools, that can take daysand even weeks.

Since launching in Feb 2020, Obviously AI now has 3,000+ users, has delivered 82,000 prediction models and saved 12.8 Million hours of data science work. It is named in the top 8 no-code tools in 2020 by Towards Data Science and is a recommended no-code AI tool by Forbes. Though investment amounts are not publicly disclosed yet, the company is backed by B Capital Group, TMV, Blume Ventures, Sequoia Scouts and Facebook.
