ZPlatform.ai was born from a simple yet powerful realization: the AI tools landscape had become overwhelming, flooded with countless options but lacking the expert guidance professionals desperately needed. As digital entrepreneurs who had navigated this challenge firsthand, we saw an opportunity to create something different—a platform that prioritizes quality over quantity and expertise over automation.
Founded by brothers Alston Antony and Delon Anthony, ZPlatform.ai represents the culmination of over 15 years of combined experience in AI, digital marketing, and SaaS development. Our journey began not in a boardroom, but through real-world challenges—helping thousands of businesses discover, implement, and scale AI solutions that actually work.
