AI & Systems Strategist | Investor | Digital Media & Brand Consultant | Researcher
📝 I regularly publish articles on AI, digital transformation, and entrepreneurship at ertugrulakben.com
I'm a Turkish AI strategist, entrepreneur, and researcher based in Antalya. I founded Ağabeyoğlu Grup in 2016 and have since expanded to the UK (EAGM Group) and USA (Tech AI Core).
In 2025, I conducted AI-MOI Turkey 2025 research - surveying 490 companies and 1,414 participants across Turkey's seven regions to measure AI maturity in businesses. Result: Average score of 14.03/100, with only 8.6% of SMEs actively using AI.
I serve as Board Advisor at MASİAD (Manavgat Industrialists and Business People Association) since 2024, leading the organization's digital transformation and AI strategy.
I also built JARVIS, a personal AI assistant system powered by Claude Opus with 81 skills, 53 agents, and 280+ MCP tools - featuring live voice calls, WhatsApp automation, and autonomous operation modes.
