Alex Graveley is Co-Founder of UFO.ai, a next-generation agent operating system designed to run entire businesses by learning a company's goals, tools, and workflows.
Alex built his career as a pioneering open-source engineer with early roots in the GNOME ecosystem, before founding Hackpad, a real-time collaborative editor acquired by Dropbox, whose ideas shaped Dropbox Paper.
Alex served as Principal Engineer and Chief Architect of GitHub Copilot, co-created Perplexity Computer and Comet, and has consistently pursued one mission: minimizing friction between human intent and machine execution.
He previously founded and led Minion AI as CEO and co-founded Sentz Global, establishing a track record as a repeat founder across AI, productivity, and developer tooling.
UFO.ai, backed by Y Combinator's Fall 2026 batch, is built by the creators of GitHub Copilot and Perplexity Computer, positioning it at the frontier of autonomous AI business operations.
