class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aashish Pahwa is an AI consultant, automation strategist, and founder of Koso.ai, where he helps businesses, creators, and agencies use AI to work smarter, not harder. With over 10 years in digital strategy, WordPress development, and marketing, he&#8217;s been building at the intersection of technology and creativity since long before AI went mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, he works with teams to design AI-powered systems that automate workflows, simplify decision-making, and free up human potential for what actually matters: building, creating, and growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Koso.ai, Aashish focuses on bringing AI into the WordPress ecosystem, from content generation workflows and intelligent CRMs to RAG-powered assistants and custom AI dashboards. He believes open-source platforms like WordPress can lead the AI revolution by giving people a way to create more meaningful work with less complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Koso.ai, Aashish built Feedough, one of the world&#8217;s top startup insight platforms, and owns 10+ digital assets across industries, most either powered by AI or built with it. His background as a domainer, SEO expert, and content strategist gives him a rare read on how technology, visibility, and growth actually connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For him, AI isn&#8217;t just about writing code or generating content. It&#8217;s about building intelligent systems that connect product, process, and people. He&#8217;s trained AI to unicorn founders and over 100,000 students across 10+ countries, and he&#8217;s deeply involved in both the AI and WordPress communities. As an organizer of WordPress Delhi and a regular WordCamp speaker, he helps developers, agencies, and marketers understand how AI fits into WordPress without adding complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond his ventures, Aashish runs the Indian AI Community, now 40,000+ members strong, alongside a following of 200,000+ across social media and 50,000+ newsletter subscribers.<br>At his core, Aashish is both a builder and a teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He believes WordPress can democratize AI the same way it democratized publishing two decades ago. In his words: &#8220;AI does not replace people who work with it. It amplifies those who understand it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founder, Koso.ai Aashish Pahwa is an AI consultant, automation strategist, and founder of Koso.ai, where he helps businesses, creators, and agencies use AI to work smarter, not harder.
