Hi there,

I m Kavya, a developer and cofounder. I come from a background in software engineering and AI product development, working on backend systems and computer vision. I love turning complex problems into simple, elegant solutions, and now I m channeling that into skincare + AI.

For years, I ve battled acne myself, and my cofounder @simoni_shah struggled with rosacea; so we both knew the pain of confusing products, conflicting advice, and endless skincare routines. That shared frustration sparked an idea: what if my phone could be my personal skincare coach?

That s how CharmAI was born; my AI-powered skincare coach that helps me understand my skin, provides deeper personalized advice, and gives me a starting point. My goal is to make skincare simple, smart, and actually helpful. Right now, my teammates and I are building an MVP and we are really excited to launch it to the public.

Hi! I built Nutralyze, a mobile app that suggests healthier or more suitable alternatives the moment you type the food (and amount) you want to skip e.g., 150g fries get swaps with a quick rationale.

How it works

1. Enter the food + amount you d like to avoid.

2. AI returns contextual alternatives (similar taste/texture, better macro balance, cooking method).

3. A Why this suggestion? screen explains the logic (calories/protein, cooking method, diet fit).

4. Don t like a result? Block it so it won t appear again.

5. Diet filters (beta): vegan, vegetarian, keto, etc., to tailor suggestions.

What I ve learned so far

I recently came across a post by the founder of Chatbase, who described the situation: "If you want to make your business visible, you have to be a popular founder."

It's true that many companies have now taken off thanks to the cult of the founder (Jenni AI David Park, Cluely Chungin "Roy" Lee etc.).
