About Alex Chen

Alex Chen is the founder of AICompare and spent 8 years as a machine learning engineer at enterprise software companies, building recommendation systems, NLP pipelines, and AI-powered features used by millions of daily users. He founded AICompare in 2024 after growing frustrated with the quality of AI tool reviews published online — the majority written by generalist content writers who had never professionally used the products they claimed to rank.

Alex holds a Master's degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Natural Language Processing. He has personally tested over 180 AI tools and is the primary reviewer for all LLM, chatbot, coding assistant, and API categories on AICompare. His reviews are grounded in genuine engineering practice: he builds real applications with the tools he reviews, not demo prototypes.
