Kimmo Ihanus

I'm Kimmo Ihanus, a technical founder and AI expert with 15+ years of experience in AI, marketing, and data. Based in Helsinki, Finland.

  • Co-founder & CTO of Superlines - the leading AI Search Analytics platform helping brands optimize their visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI platforms. Featured in Helsingin Sanomat and Markkinointiuutiset.

  • Among the first teams in the Nordics to gain access to OpenAI's GPT-3 in 2020, well before most realized how transformative AI would become.

  • Selected for Google's AI Startup Program, receiving technical support and cloud credits.

  • Previously Growth Lead at Cronvall, growth marketer at Slush 100 winner Yousician, and Senior Growth Hacker at Avaus.

  • Builder of experimental tech products like pointNG (privacy-first location detection using edge ML), Hacker-AI (A/B test your HackerNews titles before publishing), and ConsoleChat (underground chat in the browser console).

I've been obsessed with AI and algorithms my entire career. Marketing is one of the best fields to use AI: lots of data and complex problems, many of which are impossible for humans to solve.
