Traditional systems, from government processes to eCommerce logistics, often struggle to keep up with modern demands. These inefficiencies create unnecessary hurdles for people and businesses, wasting time and opportunities. Ben Hizer, founder and CEO of Luminary AI Technologies, saw these challenges and set out to create AI-powered solutions that simplify and improve how systems operate on a large scale.
"I work from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. I work 7 days a week. When I'm not working, I'm thinking about working," Ben explains. "I sit through movies and don't remember them because I'm thinking about my companies. When I close my eyes, I'm building; it often makes it hard to sleep. I didn't sleep for a week when I first started working with generative AI. I'm always thinking about what my ideas can become and how I can be doing better."
Founded in October 2022, Luminary AI Technologies has quickly established itself as a trailblazer in creating large, customizable, and scalable AI systems designed to address complex real-world challenges. The company's engineering teams are leading the way in developing smarter, more personalized AI models that can scale to meet the unique needs of any industry. What sets Luminary apart is its hands-on approach to creating solutions—crafting custom AI platforms that are not just cutting-edge but also practical and impactful. By focusing on what businesses truly need, Luminary is helping them tackle tough challenges and open new doors for growth and innovation.
While Luminary's ambition spans numerous industries, its early successes include Legislative Intelligence, a policy-focused multi-agent system that has already been adopted by one of the nation's largest law firms, proving its value in navigating and analyzing legislative complexities. Similarly, Vestiq, an investment-oriented AI platform, orchestrates agents to identify and evaluate promising assets, demonstrating Luminary's versatility and innovation across industries.
Among Luminary's standout ventures is Blue Haven AI, a fully automated eCommerce system that redefines how businesses identify trends, source products, and fulfill orders. Leveraging cutting-edge AI, Blue Haven scans marketplaces like eBay, Amazon, and TikTok daily, identifying trending products through advanced keyword and SEO analysis. It matches these insights with a vetted network of suppliers to ensure fast, high-quality fulfillment. From product listings to customer communication, every aspect of the process is automated.
Early results reinforce the company's potential. Within just 14 weeks of launch, Blue Haven surpassed $50,000 in revenue, with profit margins steadily increasing. This early traction signals the beginning of a phased growth strategy.
"It's essentially a fully automated commerce engine that identifies trending products, connects with suppliers, and manages every step of selling them—from listing to delivery—without manual intervention," Ben explains. "The only limitation to scaling our revenue to $100,000 a month by next August is having the funding to fill orders. We're taking the guesswork out of what will sell, allowing our stores to scale rapidly while optimizing profitability."
The next phase of Blue Haven's evolution is even more ambitious: introducing a mutual fund-style investment structure to enable dynamic buying and selling of high-quality assets at scale. By expanding inventory to include only the most valuable assets, Blue Haven is positioned not just as an advanced dropshipping solution but as a scalable global commerce and investment engine.
Currently, Blue Haven operates 12 company-owned stores and six client stores, with plans to expand to 50 stores by year-end. The company envisions global scalability, maximizing revenue while minimizing operational costs through its automation-first approach.
What truly sets Luminary AI—and Ben himself—apart is his unwavering dedication to his team. Central to this ethos is his partnership with Amit Garg, a trusted ally and strategic partner who shares Ben's vision for innovation and excellence. Amit, the Director at Knovatek, a successful technology development company in Toronto, has an exceptional ability to understand the technical needs of complex projects and bring together the right developers to turn broad ideas into impactful, tangible results. Together, they've built a team whose belief in the vision and technical expertise drives Luminary's success.
"If I could have all my ideas funded and my developers taken care of, I would work for free," Ben admits. His leadership philosophy is rooted in loyalty and fostering an environment where talent thrives. For Ben, his team isn't just a means to an end—they're the heart of his mission. "My loyalty to the people who believe in me is in perpetuity," he says.
Ben is also searching for partners who don't just believe in technology's potential but are comfortable challenging norms, forging their own paths, and relentlessly pursuing success at the highest levels. He doesn't just see Luminary AI as another company—he sees it as the catalyst for a new era in technology, anchoring a constellation of large, innovative enterprises across multiple high-potential markets. With the right support, Ben believes his vision can become a reality, delivering results that not only meet but exceed expectations.
"I'm not asking for blind faith," Ben explains. "My track record, my team, and my plans speak for themselves. But for those who see the potential in what we're building, I offer an opportunity to be part of something extraordinary: a chance to shape the future of AI and leave a legacy that matters."
For Ben Hizer, Luminary AI is more than a company—it's a mission to create meaningful change. "Ultimately, I don't know how my impact on the world will be measured," he admits. "There is nothing I will achieve that will be solely my accomplishment alone. But I do have a vision for the future and a plan to see it through. This is only the beginning."
As he looks ahead, he remains driven by a sense of purpose larger than himself. "If I can change the way we think about what's possible," Ben concludes, "if I can help us envision better systems and actually build them, then I'll have done what I set out to do." His journey is fueled by a belief in technology's potential to transform lives, backed by impressive early results and a dedicated team fully aligned with his vision.
With continued innovation, strategic growth, and forward-thinking partnerships, Luminary AI is poised to become a force in the technology landscape. For those willing to believe in his journey, the possibilities are limitless. To learn more, visit www.luminary-tech.ai or connect with Ben via LinkedIn.
