Krishna

After 16 years in London, I’ve moved back to the city I’ve always called home: Bangalore. More excited than ever to build from India, for the world. Would love to connect with folks building in AI, software or hardware.

I love @porterit_ as a service but good god you have zero shame with push notifications. I get 3 a day. Now blocked 👋🏽

@Ethan_is_online Same here. We need more ways to share this stuff as well so I found myself wanting this the other day: x.com/ntkris/status/…

I'm not sure about other people but I am actually solving a lot my problems with random single use software claude makes

@arushi_ressl Gemini is feeling bad

i give my toughest thinking battles to claude, execution battles to codex and slop to chatgpt.

@scottastevenson Healthcare?

The price insensitivity of fitness products (eg. equinox, bicycles), is incredible evidence that fitness really does increase your wellbeing and prosperity in life It’s hard to think of any other consumer product class that is so price insensitive

Gemini voice requires you to “unlock your phone and try again” for nearly every request. This is the worst UX I can think of @GeminiApp

3 goals: increase outbound opportunities, drive more inbound traffic and make closing faster. Outbound: monitors 24/7 for signals, find the relevant decision maker, route to the right person. Can be more automated if neeeded. Runs entirely on slack. Reviews its own work and improves.

@ntkris @with_ako How would it work or solve the focus here?

We need an engineer at Baselayer (maybe contractor?) who AI pills our GTM org - sets up an AI forward system infra for our whole GTM org - builds our “second brain” - helps set up Claude co-work for everyone, from BDRs to sol Eng We will pay top dollar - who’s down?

@banglani It’s how fast you can get through the cycle: feedback, ship, learn etc. Also, there are parts of this that are pure R&D. Theres no “playbook” because it’s all so new. Which is also what makes it so exciting!

With AI building so much of a software product, founders are vastly underestimating the time it takes to get to an MVP. Turns out the limiting factor isn't the speed of development but implementation, fine-tuning, synthesizing customer feedback and creating a product roadmap.

New pet peeve: cli's that install new skills onto my system without asking.

@larsencc Yes, infra knowledge and systems thinking. For the latter, no one has written the play book. It's too early. Only way to learn is to ship and fail fast

People massively underestimate how much infra knowledge AI engineers will need. Right now many people can ship useful products with an API key some prompting and basic code. But that breaks surprisingly fast…

@rileybrown I agree but isn't this banned by Claude Code's TOS?

Claude Code & Codex in a sandbox > Hermes

@pitdesi I mean you have to appreciate and love the subculture. When I was a kid and had family visiting from America, Indian Pizza at Pizza Hut was #1 meal request in Bangalore :)

@levie The only way to avoid this is to use your own prototype / product to do actual work. If you think AI can prepare all sales material with your product, use it to make the presentation.

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI. So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents. “Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues. “Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with. The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.

@joelgascoigne While some of them think an API should require a much higher price: x.com/ntkris/status/…

Within 6 to 12 months, every software product will need an API, MCP, and CLI. More and more, people expect to be able to interact with your product through automation, AI and agents. Historically, platform was a later stage of maturity play. Going forward, you won't really thrive in this new world without a platform.

@toddsaunders Have you tried the goal feature? I find that it’s extremely thorough and good with instructions. So, I spend most of the time just getting the plan rivht

I want to level up my skills in codex. What are you using that I should try?

I’ve just discovered the incredible dish that is Axone. Have you tried it?

@phalgooon Is this because swiggy prices are inflated?

been doing this for my fav biryani place since a few months Unless Swiggy gives me one of those hefty discounts I end up doing porter

@udayan_w I agree. But if we do this, can we also ensure every diner gets a menu? Instead of a 2 by 5 situation

can we please ban menu qr codes from restaurants?

All of us should make an attempt to write content without feeding it through an AI engine ever so often. It’s not because I hate AI. It’s just nice to hear the original version of you.
