Discover how Matt and Mell combine creativity and tech to make AI accessible to everyone.

We’re Matt and Mell, the duo behind Centaur. With our unique blend of technical expertise and creative problem-solving, we’re here to demystify AI and help you unlock its potential.

At Centaur, we don’t see AI as a replacement for humans - it’s a tool to amplify what makes us uniquely brilliant. Let us help you harness AI’s potential and take your next steps with confidence.
