Transform Your Business with AI Agents & Automation

UC Berkeley EECS | Founder @ Lakeshore Labs

I architect AI systems that ship to production, not PowerPoint. From autonomous agents managing 700+ vehicles to RAG systems processing millions of documents, I build what works—and teach your team how to build it too.

About Ali Rathore

Founder & CTO Building AI-Native Solutions

After two decades architecting systems that scale from startups to Fortune 500s, I founded Lakeshore Labs to solve a critical gap: most companies know AI will transform their industry, but they don’t know where to start or how to execute.

We’re not another consultancy selling PowerPoints. We build production AI systems that actually ship. From autonomous agents managing 700+ vehicle fleets across Southeast Asia to RAG systems processing millions of enterprise documents, our implementations drive real revenue and cut real costs.

My journey from UC Berkeley EECS through Silicon Valley engineering leadership taught me that the best technology means nothing if it doesn’t solve business problems. That’s why we focus on pragmatic AI—systems that work today, scale tomorrow, and deliver ROI from day one.

Strategy
Consulting: Creating actionable AI and automation strategies tailored to your business
Build
Implementation: Building and deploying AI agents, workflow automations, and bespoke apps
Learn
Training: Helping teams build the skills and mindset required to adopt AI effectively

With a deep focus on making AI practical, approachable, and valuable, we partner with enterprise and SME clients across SE Asia and the GCC — guiding them from ideation to deployment, and ensuring long-term success.

If you're exploring how AI can transform your business, I'm happy to connect and discuss!

Fleet Management AI

Intelligent Fleet Automation

When a logistics company across Southeast Asia needed to manage 700+ vehicles in real-time, we didn't just track GPS dots. We built predictive AI that anticipates maintenance needs, optimizes routes based on traffic patterns, and detects fuel theft before it impacts the bottom line. Result: 40% cost reduction in the first year.

Manufacturing AI

Robotic Manufacturing Intelligence

Leading a team of six engineers, I architected the brain of an autonomous hamburger-making robot. This wasn't just automation—it was coordinating dozens of sensors, motors, and control systems to maintain food safety standards while matching human speed. The system now runs at 85% automation with AI handling quality control in real-time.

Enterprise RAG

Enterprise Knowledge AI

A Fortune 500 company was drowning in 10 million documents across legacy systems. We built a RAG system that doesn't just search—it understands context, surfaces insights, and learns from user interactions. Query response times dropped 60% while accuracy improved dramatically. Their knowledge workers now spend time analyzing, not searching.
