Helping business evolve with AI

AI is here to stay and it is changing the competitive landscape. AI tools and apps bring great value for organisations, their clients, people and shareholders.

Businesses need to evolve, to adapt to a world with AI, and to benefit from it.

At Darwin, we believe in a “start small and prove value fast” approach.

With almost 10 years of experience in building AI driven applications, tools and businesses, we are a boutique AI team combining strong business and AI engineering skills to make it happen, step by step. Come and talk to us.

Our Team

We founded Darwin AI after years building software together — from focused single-purpose tools to large AI-first platforms spanning Conversational AI, Generative AI, Agentic AI, Machine Learning, Personalisation and Optimisation.

One thing became clear: most businesses know AI matters but don't know where to start. We built Darwin to fix that — combining strategic guidance with accelerated AI-driven development to deliver working solutions fast, with tangible ROI.

AI is a multi-layered revolution. The tools that help organisations adapt to the AI age are themselves built with AI. We leverage both sides of that equation for our clients.

Rui Teixeira Guerra

Partner

Rui Teixeira Guerra helps companies re-architect their strategy, processes, and technology stack for the AI era—with a pragmatic method: start small, prove value fast, then scale. He combines top-tier consulting fundamentals with hands-on product and platform building. Rui is an INSEAD MBA and former McKinsey consultant, and later became a serial tech entrepreneur focused on data-driven B2B/B2B2C software, in travel, hospitality, management software, financial services, and retail / supply chain management.

Rui has led work spanning AI-first product strategy, platform thinking, and operational rollout—connecting business objectives to concrete operating models, customer journeys, and the enabling data/IT architecture. He has a deep interest in data ecosystems and how new technologies reshape markets and organisational design. 

At Darwin AI, Rui works hand in hand with Tarek to deliver end-to-end transformations:

  • rapid AI readiness diagnostics (processes, data, tooling, governance)

  • step-by-step roadmaps with clear ROI hypotheses and delivery milestones

  • crisp functional specifications for AI-assisted processes, internal tools, and customer/supplier/partner-facing experiences

  • alignment across executives, domain teams, and engineering for fast execution

Rui works in French, English and Portuguese, and brings a founder’s bias for action to every engagement.

This includes building AI-powered customer communication and booking experiences (NLP/ML and, more recently, LLM-enabled capabilities), as well as modern integrations across the hotel tech stack. 

At Darwin AI, Tarek partners with Rui to deliver the “start small and prove value fast” approach in practice:

  • rapid AI-assisted prototyping and iteration
