What this episode covers

AI is shaking things up in oil and gas, and Hussam Rahman is right in the middle of it. He’s the founder of AAI Agency and the brains behind tools like Petri, a copilot built for engineers, and the Business Toolkit that helps companies cut through messy workflows.

Hussam’s mix of industry experience and forward-thinking tech makes for a conversation that’s equal parts practical advice and big-picture strategy on where AI is taking the energy world next.
