About

AI engineer building voice-first AI systems. Frustrated by chatbots with amnesia, so I built Velur — a voice companion that actually remembers. Previously shipped production RAG systems and LangGraph agents at scale.

Velur - An AI friend you can call who actually remembers you

Every AI conversation resets. Velur doesn't. It's a voice-first AI companion with persistent memory. Talk to it like a phone call — real-time voice streaming, not text-to-speech — and it remembers everything across sessions. Your name, your interests, what you said last week. The more you talk, the better it knows you. 7-day free trial, no card required.

Is usage-based pricing becoming the norm for AI tools?

Hey everyone,

I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.
That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:
