What led him here
How His Experience Led to AI Answering
After years of working with law firms and healthcare practices, Hamid saw how often businesses lost potential clients because no one was available to answer the phone. With his engineering background, he saw an opportunity to use conversational AI to answer calls, book appointments, and connect callers with a real person when needed.
In 2025, he co-founded AI Answering to bring that idea to life. Today, the company serves businesses across multiple industries and has handled more than 1 million calls.
