OMG AI, an emerging player in the artificial intelligence space, has secured a coveted position as a finalist in the Future Tech World Cup 2025, one of the premier global pitch competitions for AI startups. Hosted by the Dubai AI Campus in partnership with the Government of Dubai, the competition is a centerpiece of the Dubai AI Festival, bringing together the most promising ventures building the future of artificial intelligence.
Selected from a global pool of 40 startups, OMG AI advanced to the final round after impressing judges with its bold vision and groundbreaking product focused on AI visibility, search intelligence, and perception management. The final will take place on April 23, 2025, in Dubai, where eight finalists will pitch their platforms to an audience of global investors, AI leaders, and innovation champions.
Founded in 2024 by Suhas Ashok and Shyam Singh Bhati, OMG AI is building a platform that addresses a critical challenge in today’s digital landscape: understanding how AI systems perceive and recommend brands. As AI increasingly shapes customer decisions through conversational search and assistant-driven actions, visibility inside these systems has become mission-critical for companies.
OMG AI’s platform offers tools for measuring brand presence across AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, helping businesses analyze mentions, sentiment, recall rate, and content influence. This intelligence empowers marketing and product teams to adapt, optimize, and ensure that their brand is not just indexed—but preferred—by AI systems.
As part of its recognition, OMG AI has also been awarded a fully sponsored booth at the Dubai AI Festival 2025, a global gathering of technologists, founders, investors, and policymakers. The event will feature conferences, exhibitions, and competitions designed to shape the roadmap for AI innovation over the next decade.
“Securing a spot in the Future Tech World Cup finale is a huge milestone for our team,” said Suhas Ashok, Co-founder & CEO, OMG AI. “It’s validation of our mission to help brands become more discoverable and trusted in an AI-first world. We’re excited to showcase our platform and connect with others building the future of decision intelligence.”
With the rapid shift from traditional search to AI-generated answers, OMG AI is pioneering a new category: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)—an evolution of SEO designed for AI models instead of search engines. As AI assistants increasingly influence purchase behavior, service selection, and content discovery, platforms like OMG AI aim to ensure that the right brands are surfaced, trusted, and remembered.
