About

Imbas. From the old Irish: illumination, sudden knowing, knowledge brought to speech.

The founder

I’m Brendan Nestor, founder of Imbas. I build practical AI tools, study how AI behaves, and help businesses put it to use. Before Imbas I ran a service business, and I’ve worked in product, growth, and operations at a startup. I’ve used AI for software, research, writing, operations, and situations where a sloppy answer wasn’t good enough. I care less about what looks impressive in a demo than whether it holds up when somebody has to rely on it.
