Our story

MAI was founded by Yuchen Wu and Jian Wang, technologists and operators who spent a decade building ad platforms and e-commerce engines. They recognized that small and medium-sized businesses lacked access to the advanced growth technology powering the largest platforms—and set out to change that.

Today, a rapidly growing network of D2C brands and apps rely on MAI’s intelligent agents to simplify marketing complexity, surface actionable insights, and drive measurable results.

Backed by Tier 1 investors, MAI is pioneering autonomous growth agents that bring advanced data science and machine learning to every business, working around the clock to help them unlock their full growth potential.
