About

Im building AI based applications that are actually useful. Every application I develop starts with a problem I faced in my own life. Then I try to figure out a solution that can make it seamless. I like exploring new ideas and concepts, and learning about things to always stay up to date to ensure I am working with the latest and greatest tech has to offer. My design philosophies are heavily inspired by Apple, making things that 'just work'. Ive currently released my first project Resume AI, which is an all-in-one, easy to use solution to accelrate job hunting and land offers. My second application is desktop based and is currently in production, using a lot more advanced concepts and techniques to offer something truly exceptional. Follow to see what comes in the future 🚀

Should you offer free access when launching a paid product on Product Hunt?

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

Are AI tools actually making us more productive or just giving us more ways to procrastinate?

I've been using AI tools for everything lately; writing, coding, design, research. On paper, they should be massive productivity boosters. Instead of spending hours on tasks, I can get decent results in minutes.

But I'm starting to notice a weird pattern. I spend way too much time tweaking prompts, trying different AI tools for the same task, and comparing outputs. Sometimes I'll spend 30 minutes getting the "perfect" AI generated result when I could've just done it myself in 20 minutes.

What possible threats do you see in using AI?

I read about a few cases that sounded like something out of a horror story.

For example:

  • An AI chatbot pushed a teen to k*ll himself

  • AI Model Refuses To Listen to Humans After Being Told to Shut Down

  • Psychiatrist Poses as Teen  Finds AI Therapy Bots Encouraging Violence, Suicide, and Fake Intimacy
