Empowering Entrepreneurs with AI: A Conversation with Brain Nezhad, Founder of Telow

Discover how Telow is revolutionizing business intelligence through innovative AI solutions. We had the pleasure of speaking with Brain Nezhad, the founder of Telow, about his inspiring journey, the platform, and the transformative impact of AI on business intelligence. Here are the fascinating insights Brain shared with us about Telow and the future of AI in empowering entrepreneurs.

How did your background lead to the creation of Telow?

I am the founder of Telow. My journey began as a self-taught developer, starting at 12. Initially, I pursued pre-med in college to become a doctor, fulfilling the common expectations of foreign parents in the United States. However, my passion for computers steered me away from medicine.

Over the years, I worked with various agencies, including government and digital agencies, and private corporations. Eventually, I decided to create something of my own. I identified a significant gap: many aspiring entrepreneurs lacked mentorship, insights, or tools to start their businesses.

Recognizing the world’s growing reliance on data and AI, I envisioned Telow as a product that could empower entrepreneurs to understand and leverage their data for business growth.

How does Telow leverage AI for business intelligence?

Currently, Telow is in its beta phase, and we are focused on understanding our users’ needs. They appreciate the simplicity of interacting with AI to grasp their data better. We aim to enhance the product’s intuitiveness and integrate more data modules. We aim to make data access points readily available within AI conversations, improving our users’ ease of use and excitement.

What is the story behind the name ‘Telow’?

There isn’t any profound philosophy behind the name. I had the domain, found it catchy, and decided to go with it.

What key features set Telow apart from other BI platforms?

While many tools integrate data into their platforms, we aspire to be the Zapier for AI and data, enabling seamless data implementation in AI conversations.

One of the key aspects that set Telow apart is our architectural approach. While many tools in the market aim to incorporate data into their platforms and facilitate data conversations, we strive to elevate this process to the next level.

This ease of integrating data into the AI dialogue differentiates Telow from other products. We focus on making the data integration process straightforward and intuitive, ensuring the fundamental data integration is as efficient and user-friendly as possible.

How do you measure Telow’s success for clients?

Success for our clients is reflected in their business success. We aim to reduce the high failure rate of businesses by providing tools that help them thrive.

How does Telow ensure data privacy and security?

We adhere to strict security guidelines, including AWS compliance standards. Data is stored securely behind virtual private clouds (VPCs), with authenticated API calls ensuring access is restricted to authorized users. While we follow numerous security procedures, some details remain confidential to protect our proprietary methods.

How can businesses leverage AI to improve their decision-making with Telow?

Telow helps businesses by enabling simple chat conversations to help them understand their data. This eliminates the need for specialized roles like Google Analytics experts or sales managers to generate reports, making data analysis accessible and straightforward.

How does customer feedback shape Telow’s features?

Customer feedback is vital for us. We recently launched a community site (community.Telow.com) to gather user suggestions on new features and data modules. While it’s still gaining traction, we’re actively encouraging users to share their thoughts on desired features, data modules for AI conversations, and any bugs they encounter.

We continuously track and address these bugs to ensure the platform is production-ready and provides a seamless user experience. Additionally, the community site helps us gather insights into user experiences, allowing us to study further and research ways to enhance our platform.

This ongoing dialogue with our users is crucial for our development and success.

Are there any significant partnerships or collaborations that would help Telow’s growth?

No. We haven’t established specific partnerships yet but engage in activities like podcasts to spread the word about Telow. These initiatives are beneficial for getting our message across and sharing information about our product.

While venture capitalists have shown interest, we focus on creating a compelling pitch deck. We’ve also had discussions about potential collaborations for bringing in data. Still, we remain quite a niche and prefer to work with specific data points that align with our platform.

How do you ensure Telow remains adaptable and scalable?

We stay up-to-date with AI trends and continuously study different AI models. Integrating various models into our platform ensures clients can converse with different models and scale their data capacity as needed.

Does Telow integrate with platforms like Google Analytics?

Yes. Our AI platform seamlessly integrates with data from various sources or API endpoints, such as those in Google Analytics or Google Search Console. You can interact with this data through simple conversational queries. For instance, you might ask, “How many active users did I have in the past 30 days?” or “Can you compare this year’s data to last year’s performance?” The AI understands these questions and retrieves the relevant information.

Behind the scenes, our sophisticated algorithms are designed to efficiently fetch and process the required data from the API endpoints, ensuring you get the insights you need quickly and accurately.

What challenges did you face while developing Telow?

One of the primary challenges has been spreading the word in a competitive AI market. Another challenge is gathering and understanding user feedback to avoid over-engineering and ensure we create a product that meets users’ needs. We aim to create a product that people need without over-engineering it.

The AI market is very competitive, especially in AI, so it is crucial to ensure we hear from people and understand their feedback.

How will AI evolve in business intelligence?

Everyone will rely on quick answers and quick decision-making.

I believe AI is the future of every business. There will be platforms or distribution channels where people rely on data and business intelligence to get answers about their business. This could be as simple as a manager within a company or as high up as an executive position.

I can see AI becoming a critical tool in business intelligence for everyone.

Since you are a medical professional, do you plan to leverage AI in the medical field?

Yes. I envision Telow making significant strides in the medical field. Imagine connecting data points within a research study, where you can converse with the data and ask the AI how to resolve a particular disease. This concept, although futuristic, is akin to scenes from sci-fi movies like Ex Machina, where AI helps find cures.

Do you believe AI will replace human jobs in data analysis?

Image – No. AI acts as a validation tool rather than a replacement. It makes jobs easier and more accurate but less precise than humans.

AI itself can sometimes hallucinate, which is widely known. In the future, data analysis specialists and experts will validate the data to ensure its accuracy. AI will assist in decision-making, but human validation will remain essential.

What market research did you conduct before building Telow?

I conducted informal research with family and friends who own businesses. I understood their problems and frustrations, such as the lack of resources to create actionable items based on their business data. It’s often costly and time-consuming to hire someone for this task.

This feedback highlighted the need for a tool like Telow that could simplify and expedite the data analysis process.

How do you foster innovation within your team?

We prioritize flexibility and creativity within our team. Encouraging our team members to be innovative and explore solutions that benefit our users is key. We believe in being creative and flexible to drive continuous improvement and innovation.

What upcoming AI trends should businesses watch for?

Businesses should focus on actionable AI intelligence. Currently, AI can sometimes hallucinate, providing inaccurate information. Future trends will likely see AI providing more reliable and actionable insights. At Telow, we aim to be an actionable provider, offering more than just simple text.

Telow strives to create actionable business plans, providing significant value beyond basic data analysis.

What has been your most rewarding moment since starting Telow?

One of the most rewarding moments was being featured on Product Hunt on May 17th, where we were among the top 12 products. The exposure was fantastic. Additionally, using Telow myself to create content for my business and seeing it in action has been incredibly fulfilling.

What are common misconceptions about AI in Business Intelligence?

A common misconception is that AI will replace people. However, AI is more likely to serve as a tool to assist and enhance human capabilities rather than replace them entirely. We are far from the point where AI can fully replace human roles. Even as AI evolves, there will always be a need for human validation and oversight.

AI will become a valuable tool for everyone, enhancing productivity and decision-making.
