Andrey Esaulov is a tech founder and CEO with 13 years of experience building voice and mobile products that scale, currently leading BotTalk to convert publishers' web content into highly human-like speech at scale. He co-founded BotTalk and runs SmartHouse Technologies, combining deep product instincts with hands-on engineering to ship platforms integrated with partners like dpa, RMSi and Google. His teams have turned 100,000+ articles per month into thousands of audio hours and created award-winning voice/assistant tooling that topped Product Hunt. Previously he led prototyping and mobile at meinestadt.de, driving a relaunch to over a million installs and pioneering location-based ad monetization. Trained in German language and literature up to PhD level, he brings rare cross-domain fluency—melding linguistic expertise with pragmatic AI/voice engineering. Quietly prolific in growth-hacking and partner integrations, he focuses on simple developer ergonomics (one-line installs, shared dictionaries) to accelerate publisher adoption.
