About

Grant Kurz is the Founder of DeepStation, a global AI community of industry professionals with experience from leading organizations such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Coinbase, Bloomberg, Cisco, crewAI, and many more. DeepStation is an official OpenAI Academy Launch Partner, and has provided over 100 presentations and workshops on AI with a mission to accelerate AI education globally so the world can stay ahead of the AI wave. The entrepreneur also provides consulting services, spearheading AI applications & software development projects for clients. Grant created the AI system of an AI Call Center for one such client, which could talk on the phone with leads to schedule meetings and provide more information about the company, as well as message via SMS in a similar way. The client’s AI Call Center accomplished a deal with one of the top USA political campaigns for conversational AI to handle campaign donations during Grant’s contract. Grant has been a software engineer for over 10 years and is a serial entrepreneur. Before DeepStation, the engineer automated factories for companies such as Coca-Cola and Stanley Black and Decker during his tenure at Syscon International. He implemented Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems across many factory machines so factory floor workers can more easily access machine manuals. The founder previously built a global crypto analytics company by the name of CryptoScenarios, which was acquired by CoinLedger.io after achieving over 400,000 active users. Additionally, Grant partnered with Bitwage to develop Bitcoin Dollar Cost Average, which was featured in Forbes, Coindesk, Cointelegraph, and Yahoo Finance.
