Abdullah Rao
Abdullah Rao is the founder and lead writer at PublorAI. He's spent the last 3+ years testing AI tools for content creators, developers, and marketers from ChatGPT and Claude to niche workflow tools across coding, writing, and research.
He started PublorAI in 2026 after getting tired of generic AI reviews that read like vendor press releases. Every review on this site is based on real hands-on testing, not marketing copy. He's evaluated 50+ AI products across the full Claude, GPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek lineups.
Before PublorAI, Abdullah worked in digital product and content strategy, which is where he first started using AI tools seriously for production work. That background shapes how he tests he cares about whether a tool actually makes real work faster, not just whether it scores well on benchmarks.
