About

I'm Faysal, founder of Clarno. I built a brokerage, scaled it 27×, and exited on my own terms. Now I'm using what I learned about risk modeling to help indie founders validate their startup ideas before they waste months building. Clarno is a simulation tool that helps founders think through the user, pain, wedge, and product path before committing real product and GTM effort.

Will AI and technology improve our skills or downgrade them?

Today, I read a study showing that social media use is linked to weaker reading, vocabulary, and word-recognition skills in teens under 16.
Yesterday, I read an article saying that students who used AI showed up to 55% less brain activity and remembered less.
According to the news, if this is what technology was supposed to help us with and make our lives easier, then I don t see the future very brightly.

On the contrary, I have to say that I use AI for education (e.g. for building, explaining things when I do not understand them). But 80% of people just take the information and do not bother to think about other things.
Yes, we can save a lot of time, and mental capacity/energy with "no memorising" but do we really spend that saved time on something useful and meaningful?

Checkmate - Be your own PM

Spent a week on a personal project management web app using @OpenAI's GPT-5.4 and @Claude by Anthropic. My fianc mentioned that @Asana and @Jira often need a company account, I took matters into my own hands and built @Checkmate. The kicker is that you can use the AI Planner to build drafts for you automatically. After a few followup questions, you can have a built out project with dates, priority levels, tasks and subtasks. Soon, you'll even be able to install it from the App Store or Google Play Store.

@Checkmate is constantly receiving updates, so expect to see the app change along the way. If you want to organize a project from scratch, give it a try! Feedback is always welcome.

Everyone says "build in public"… but how do you do it without making it a full-time job?

Building in public is important today. It helps you build a community, get feedback, and create traction around your product. But creating content to share every day shorts, posts on X, LinkedIn, Instagram can quickly become boring and very time consuming.
By recording your meetings with Prodshort, you get content ready to share: Shorts, X posts, LinkedIn posts... You keep things authentic, because the AI documents what you actually do and doesn t create fake content from scratch. Your real progress, your real discussions, your real decisions become things you can share.

It makes build in public much easier. You can share updates about your project directly from your calls: progress, ideas, feedback, small wins... Stay consistent with your build in public without adding extra work to your day !!
