About Practical AI Labs
Making AI practical for LA businesses
Founded by an AI and technology expert - an LA local who believes every neighborhood business should run with enterprise-grade efficiency.
Our Story
Practical AI Labs was founded in 2025 when our founder Aqsa Fulara noticed a pattern: LA businesses were drowning in busywork while AI companies focused on flashy demos instead of real solutions.
After building AI products for retailers, CPG, and SMBs at big tech companies, Aqsa realized that practical AI wasn't about replacing humans—it was about freeing them to do what they do best.
We've helped LA businesses cut busywork by 20-40% using the tools they already have. No pilots, no experiments—just outcomes that show up in your bottom line.
Our Mission
Make modern AI and automation practical, safe, and profitable for every local business—starting in LA—by delivering outcomes, not pilots.
Our Vision
A world where neighborhood businesses run with enterprise-grade efficiency: every repetitive task orchestrated, every customer conversation answered, every compliance box checked—quietly, automatically.
Our Values
These principles guide every decision we make and every automation we build
Outcomes Over Hype
We measure success in hours saved and errors reduced, not buzzwords. Every automation must deliver measurable business value.
Local & Compliant
We understand California regulations and LA business culture. Compliance isn't an afterthought—it's built into every solution.
Use What You Have
No rip-and-replace. We make your existing tools smarter and more connected, preserving your investment and team knowledge.
Capability Transfer
Your team owns the automations. We provide training, documentation, and support so you're never dependent on us.
Neighborhood Focus
We're not a faceless consultancy. We're part of the LA business community, invested in your long-term success.
Practical Innovation
We use proven technology in new ways, not experimental tech that might work. Reliability and results come first.
Why We Focus on LA
