Tariq Osmani
Founder & AI Automation Consultant
Founder of Smart AI Workspace. I build custom AI agents, agentic workflows, and end-to-end automation for B2B teams.
About me
I started Smart AI Workspace because I kept watching capable teams burn their best hours on work that software should already be doing — copy-pasting between tools, chasing approvals over email, manually reconciling data that lived in three different systems. The technology to fix it has existed for a while; what most teams need is someone who will sit with the actual workflow, design the right architecture, and ship something that runs reliably in production.
Day to day I design and build AI-powered automation for B2B companies — custom agents on Claude and OpenAI, agentic workflow architectures (n8n plus code) that span CRMs, comms tools and data warehouses, and retrieval pipelines that let teams ask questions of their own knowledge base. I'm hands-on through the entire engagement: discovery, build, deployment, and the boring-but-critical observability that keeps automations alive after launch.
Smart AI Workspace is intentionally founder-led. When you work with me you're not handed off to an account manager — you talk to the person writing the workflow. I write here regularly about what I'm shipping, what's actually working in production, and where the AI automation hype meets reality.
