Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYaniv Ben-ami is a founder and applied AI engineer with 11 years of experience building voice-first agents that act on behalf of users within SaaS products. He specializes in integrating GPT Realtime 2 into product backends so users can speak naturally and have the system navigate interfaces, fill forms, and take actions via MCP tool calls—typically delivering a working integration in one week. Previously a Yale PhD economist and former hedge fund quant consultant, Yaniv combines rigorous quantitative modeling with hands-on systems and backend engineering (including graph DB tooling and an open-source voice infrastructure, Babel3). He founded community and product efforts around deep learning and voice coding agents, and his background in computational economics and biochemistry gives him an uncommon cross-disciplinary lens for building reliable, research-grounded AI features.
