"While pursuing my bachelor's degree in cybersecurity in Malaysia, I began working in 2023 for a UK company that developed software solutions. When OpenAI dropped their AI, I could bring it into any software that I write. I started automating some parts of my job with AI. At some point, I had a full AI system with agents that was automating for four clients at a time."
"There was so much potential in this. I was excited about it and decided to leave my job and do that full time with an AI agent-focused startup, and I started Genta AI in November 2024. We scaled the team quite fast and hired a few senior people with over 10 years of experience in software development. Building a startup in school can get lonely I've always worked while in school, but starting a business, I was surprised that there's a lot to do."
A 22-year-old final-year cybersecurity student in Malaysia integrated OpenAI into work at a UK software company in 2023, automating tasks and building AI-agent systems that served multiple clients. Enthused by the potential, the student left employment to found Genta AI in November 2024 and rapidly scaled the team by hiring senior software developers. Running an AI startup while enrolled created a high meeting load, prioritizing the company over classes and social life, generating worry about completing the degree and occasional thoughts of dropping out despite not wanting to leave university.
