Serial entrepreneur Simon Squibb has stepped into a new chapter of his global mentorship mission, unveiling a free artificial intelligence companion that puts an always-on version of him in the pocket of every aspiring founder. The launch, rolled out across iOS and Android under the banner of his HelpBnk platform, reframes how rising talent across the United Arab Emirates and beyond can access seasoned business guidance without travel, fees, or gatekeepers.
An AI Mentor Available Around the Clock
The app, titled What's Your Dream?, opens with a single question and then invites users to either type or tap a Call Simon button for a voice exchange with an AI trained on three decades of Squibb's entrepreneurial experience. TechRadar reported that the tool draws on his archive of talks, books, and content to deliver personalised pep talks, structured advice, and tactical next steps for anyone trying to turn a side hustle into a real venture. For Dubai and Abu Dhabi founders accustomed to high cost mentorship circles, the free model is a notable shift.
HelpBnk's Mission Goes Mobile
Squibb founded HelpBnk in 2023 to democratise access to advice and opportunity, and the app is the most requested expansion of that platform, according to coverage by getcoai.com. The release follows his viral campaigns in London, including the staircase he bought and fitted with a doorbell so passers by could pitch their dreams, and his appearance at the One Billion Followers Summit where he called for kindness driven entrepreneurship across the region.
Why the UAE Audience Is Watching
The Emirates has become a magnet for first time founders chasing visas, capital, and global reach, and free AI mentorship lowers one of the last remaining barriers. Squibb's framing of advice as a public good rather than a paid service echoes the UAE's own SME push, where government accelerators and free zones have pressed for more accessible startup support. Available now on the App Store and Google Play, the tool positions HelpBnk as a quiet but persistent player in the worldwide race to put expert guidance in the hands of anyone with a phone.
