Ao Fu

I spent eight years at Oxford, first on a math degree, then a PhD in engineering. Somewhere in the middle I started an education company, and I've been building ever since: classrooms, then video games, now AI agents.

These days I'm making agents behave. I co-founded Pome, where we build verified sandboxes for AI agents: digital twins of GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Gmail and Linear, so an agent can do real work without touching real accounts. Every run comes back scored, so you see what the agent actually did, not what it says it did. We're also exploring how the same twins can work as environments for RL training and evaluation.

Outside work: golf, basketball, and PuPu, the Yorkie above. At my graduation he was the only dog there, and somehow the one getting congratulated.
