About
Bringing enterprise-level AI automation to small businesses in an accessible, practical way.
Our Mission
Our mission is to drive better business through AI that automates the repetitive and elevates the remarkable.
At Drive AI, we believe small-business owners deserve access to the same kind of tools big companies use, without the high costs. We're not here to sell software. We build systems that make a difference by first learning how your business works and then creating solutions that fit the way you operate.
Our team blends technical knowledge and small-business experience. We help cut out the busywork so you can focus on what you do best.
Our Story
We are both sophomores at Clemson University, passionate about helping people and entrepreneurship.
We saw how AI could transform small businesses and created Drive AI to push AI to the forefront of small business operations.
Drive AI is built to give small businesses enterprise-level automation in an accessible, practical way. We believe every business, regardless of size, should have access to the tools that help them compete and grow.
