NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / In an industry overflowing with AI buzzwords and surface-level integrations, X-42.ai is delivering something radically different: AI-native software that actually runs your business. Founded by bootstrapped entrepreneur and AI developer Mofeez Khalid, the company has launched a next-generation suite of tools to fully automate guest-facing operations across hotels, cafés, and restaurants.

"We're not just slapping AI on top of legacy software," says Khalid. "We're building systems that replace it - AI employees that know what to do, when to do it, and how to deliver better guest experiences while cutting costs."

Initially launched as a digital concierge - like a virtual butler for hotels - X-42.ai quickly evolved into a fully autonomous operations platform. After realizing legacy Property Management Systems (PMS) couldn't support modern guest needs, Khalid and his team built an AI-first architecture that now powers everything from check-ins and room service to restaurant and café operations.

The result is a single, intelligent system designed for the real world - capable of managing end-to-end workflows, unifying data across departments, and delivering service with zero friction.

"Imagine never waiting in line for a hotel check-in or a cup of coffee again," Khalid adds. "We spoke to hotels that didn't even know who their guests were. Hospitality is supposed to be about service - but broken systems have made that impossible. X-42.ai changes that."

Unlike typical AI tools emerging from Silicon Valley, X-42.ai was built from the ground up for autonomy, not novelty. It replaces slow, expensive workflows with fast, intelligent automation - creating real business leverage where it matters most.

The platform is already being tested or deployed across a growing number of venues - including boutique hotels, restaurants, and high-footfall cafés - as part of X-42.ai's early adopter program.

"Our clients don't need training to use it. They talk to it like they'd talk to a team member. We've just replaced that team member with AI."

Khalid, a lifelong coder and physics enthusiast, built the company without any external funding. "We're a globally distributed, scrappy team," he says. "But we're not here to play small - we're here to replace broken systems with intelligent ones."

"Most science fiction films predicted a future where intelligent systems would run our buildings, businesses, and cities," Khalid adds. "This isn't fantasy anymore - it's inevitable. We're just here to accelerate the timeline."
