Introducing a New Seattle AI Directory: A Local Resource I Wish I Had Had

Over the past few months, I’ve been in touch with dozens of business owners, developers, and aspiring founders around the Seattle area who are trying to figure out where to begin with AI. Whether they’re looking for a consultant, a technical partner, a meetup group, or simply inspiration from a local startup doing great things, the question keeps coming up: “Is there a list of AI resources in the Seattle area?”

Until now, the answer was… not really.

That’s why I’ve pulled together something I wish had existed when I first started exploring the local AI ecosystem—a curated directory of key players in the Greater Seattle Area working in AI, automation, no-code, and adjacent technologies.

The new Seattle AI & Automation Directory includes:

• Consulting firms that help businesses design and implement AI-powered solutions—from enterprise-scale cloud integrations to nimble no-code app builds.
• Startups and builders leading the way in everything from generative content to smart medical devices.
• Research hubs and innovation labs like the Allen Institute for AI and UW’s NLP Group, whose work helps shape the future of the industry.
• User groups and meetups, like the Seattle AI Society, where ideas are exchanged and partnerships are born.
• VC firms with deep roots in the region and a clear interest in AI’s next wave.

This isn’t just a who’s who list. I’ve done the legwork to include brief descriptions and links so that if something catches your eye, you can explore further. My hope is that this page becomes a valuable starting point for entrepreneurs, business leaders, researchers, job seekers—or anyone curious about the incredible momentum around AI in the Pacific Northwest.

The truth is, I built this page out of personal necessity. I needed a reference like this for my own consulting work at Avanzar AI, and when I realized it didn’t exist in a meaningful or updated form, I decided to create it.

If it helps just a handful of people find the partner, project, or community they’ve been looking for, it’s worth it.

You can check out the new page here: Seattle AI Companies.

And if you know of a company or initiative I missed, I’d love to hear about it. This is a living directory, and I plan to update it regularly as the scene continues to grow.

Thanks for being part of the Seattle AI story. Let’s build something amazing—together.
