About

I’m Amulya, a founder building Luna, an AI Chief of Staff for founders. I’m obsessed with the future of building software, where founders spend less time managing tools and more time thinking, creating, and making things happen. I’m exploring what happens when AI becomes a true layer of leverage for a founder, not just another tool in the stack.

Should your AI assistant ask permission every time?

There's an interesting tension with AI agents.

If it asks you before doing everything, it's basically another productivity tool you have to operate.

If it doesn't ask, you have to trust it enough to act on your behalf.

So where's the useful middle ground?

What is the most embarrassing thing you've forgotten as a founder?

Not looking for the polished founder story here.

I'm talking about the email you forgot to answer for two weeks, the investor follow-up that disappeared, the meeting you completely forgot about, or the commitment you confidently made and then somehow erased from your brain.

We've been collecting examples of these small failures while building Luna.

They seem trivial individually, but I'm starting to think they're a pretty good map of where founders lose attention.

Most productivity tools are really good at helping you organize work.

But organizing work is still work.

You create the task.
Add the context.
Set the deadline.
Update the status.
Move it when priorities change.
Remember to check it.
