1001 AI
1001 (also known as 1001 AI) is a deeptech artificial intelligence company founded in 2025 by Bilal Abu-Ghazaleh, a former director of generative AI operations at Scale AI, and headquartered between London and Dubai. The company builds sovereign AI operating systems for critical infrastructure — live operational models that help operators across aviation and airports, ports and logistics, energy and grids, construction, and manufacturing predict issues, automate and optimize decisions, and improve operational efficiency, while retaining full local ownership and governance of their AI systems. Focused primarily on the GCC and wider MENA region, 1001 raised a $9 million seed round in October 2025 led by CIV, General Catalyst, and Lux Capital, followed by a $30 million Series A in June 2026 led by Lux Capital with Sanabil Investments, 9Yards, and Hanabi joining and existing backers General Catalyst, CIV, and Stanford AI researcher Chris Ré increasing their commitments. As of this profile, 1001 publishes no public API, developer documentation, or SDK; this entry captures the company's public identity and web properties for the API Evangelist network.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
1001 AI is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — 1001 AI scores 12.3/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

The organization behind the API
1001 AI is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
