At what point does a side project stop being “just a side project”?

Many products start as experiments built at night or on weekends.

At first, there s no pressure just curiosity and momentum.

But at some point, expectations creep in: users, revenue goals, support, roadmap decisions.

Hey PH community!

As founders and builders, we spend so much time crafting our products, but communication precision is equally crucial, whether pitching investors, writing copy, or leading teams.

2025 Recap & The Future of MindPal

2025 wasn't just another year. It was the year LLMs grew eyes, ears, and hands.
We went from models that could write a decent email to multi-modal systems that can reason, edit images, see videos, and - most importantly - execute actions.
For us at MindPal, this was the moment we had been waiting for since Day 1.
2 years ago, we started with a vision: that someday, AI would process multi-modal inputs, manage complex context, and use tools just like a human. Back then, the tech wasn't ready. We spent 2024 helping you with "prompt chaining" - squeezing out a slightly better blog post or summarizing a document. It was useful, but it was just assisting.
That era is over.
In 2025, we stopped just chaining prompts and started orchestrating intelligence. We turned MindPal into the multi-agent engine we always envisioned:
- Advanced Patterns: We moved beyond linear chains to Orchestrators, Loops, Evaluators, and Routing.
- MCP Support: Agents can finally talk to your tools - Google Drive, Notion, Dropbox - natively.
- Canvas: Agents aren't stuck in the chat anymore. They are building custom websites, slides, and sales collateral in real-time.
- Chat-to-Build: You don't have to figure out the logic alone. You can now chat back and forth with the AI at the very start to architect, refine, and improve your agents before they ever run.
- Deep Integration: With Custom User IDs and Session Context, your embedded agents aren't isolated. You can sync your own users' data from your system directly into MindPal embeds.
Was every bet a winner? No.
We tried to force computer use and browser use capabilities too early. We realized it wasn't robust enough for the way you work, so we cut the noise and refocused on reliability.
But the things that did work? The results were insane.
We are seeing users automate their entire sales intelligence stacks - from qualification to generating custom proposals. We are seeing agencies automate client deliverables, where their whole operation depends on MindPal to run. We are seeing industry-specific audits that require deep, advanced knowledge and reasoning being executed autonomously.
MindPal doesn't exist to help you save costs. We exist to help you scale your business to a level that wasn't thinkable before, by scaling intelligence.
In 2026, we are taking a fresh take on AI automation.
Too many solutions right now are just "Software 2.0." They are obsessed with connecting App A to App B, with an AI sprinkled in between. It's rigid.
We believe the future belongs to Agency.
We are moving beyond just automating rules one after another. We are building the platform that leverages an agent's ability to think, reason, and wield tools with flexibility. We want you to scale work that was previously impossible, at a scale that was previously unimaginable, not just replicate what you were already doing.
Our goal is to be the number one AI agent orchestration layer for business.
2026 is going to be incredible. LFG

Just an appreciation for vibe coding

I've been vibe coding( @Lovable , @v0 by Vercel ) for a couple of months now & it's such an incredible feeling. What once required specialized skills now happens through simple descriptions.

Breaking free from dependency on designers & engineers for mocks/prototypes has been especially empowering. Great to see this creative autonomy that has fundamentally changed how people build.

What an incredible future we are creating for kids who can create software from sentences.

Writing is easy, formatting is hard. Validating my idea for a "Raw Text to PDF" tool 📄

Hi Everyone!

I m a student and developer, and I noticed that I spend 20% of my time writing reports and 80% of my time fighting with margins, font sizes, and alignment.

To fix this, I m building a web app called DraftFlow. I d love your feedback on the core workflow:

  1. Raw Input: You just dump your raw, messy text into the app.

  2. Auto-Canvas: The app switches to a "Canvas Mode" and automatically applies the correct styles (headings, paragraphs, title) based on the document type (e.g., Report vs. Article).

  3. Split Screen AI: On one side, you have your styled doc. On the other, a Multi-Agent Chatbot that helps with grammar, tone, and suggestions without messing up your layout.

  4. Done: One-click download to a perfectly formatted PDF.

I need your help with two questions:

  1. Trust vs. Control: Is "auto-formatting" something you would trust for a final document, or do you prefer manual control over every pixel? I'm trying to decide how much editing power to give the user vs. keeping it fully automated.

  2. The Idea: Please be honest is this tool actually needed? Is the pain of formatting documents big enough that you would switch to a tool like this?

    Thank you for reading

Why Google Calendar Sometimes Ignores ICS Updates (and What Developers Can Do About It)

If you have ever sent calendar invites from your own backend, you have probably seen this problem:

  • You send an event update

  • The ICS file validates

  • Google Calendar imports it without errors

  • Nothing changes

No error. No warning. The update simply does not apply.

This is one of the most common issues developers face when working with ICS. The root cause is that Google interprets the specification differently from Outlook and Apple Calendar. The behaviour is not random. It is the result of several strict internal checks.
