Entrepreneurs leverage AI tools for digital business development

The rise of AI coding and management tools is enabling individuals without traditional technical backgrounds to launch international digital platforms. Alexandra Ion, founder of Laexa Digital, transitioned from a career as a nail technician to building an AI-powered marketplace for independent creators. Using AI coding tools, Ion developed products such as Flow Post for social media management and Brainy, a personal AI assistant, with plans to expand into AI hosting services.

In the deep-tech sector, Axelera AI is developing the Metis AI Platform, designed to increase efficiency and performance by 3-5x. The company, which has raised $450 million, focuses on model enablement and high-performance computing through its Metis and Europa AIPU architectures. Their engineering teams utilize AI coding agents to build, test, and verify complex software pipelines.
