My AI Journey

In this post I talk about my initial excitement in AI, how I drifted away from AI and how I am now coming back to it.

In '90, when I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, I was floored. Mind-blowing! The aesthetics, the direction, super impressive, but above all, the concepts were mind-boggling.

The Intel 486 had just dropped, and its power was unreal. It felt like magic, a realm where anything, even HAL 9000, was feasible.

Naively, I thought, wouldn’t it be amazing if I could build something akin to HAL. University tossed me into an AI class by chance where I met exceptional peers and eccentric, intellectual mentors.

The project: craft a chat bot. My buddy's crew clinched first, mine second. They entered the Mega Lab for Tomorrow's World experiment. Their project came second in the country, excelling in dissecting Martin Scorsese's films.

My AI professor tapped me for his startup; where I stayed for more than a year. Life took its turn, but in my tech journey, I, like many nerds, took stabs at crafting a Turing-test-passing AI.

Fast forward, I built a game engine, launched a game engine startup which become a gaming company.

After exiting the gaming company I founded Superthread—an integrated Task Tracker with Docs where we aim to Solve Project Management using AI.

Superthread is an all-in-one project management and wiki app for small teams. It has projects, tasks, and docs integrated in one unified tool. Designed for cross-functional companies where engineers, product, design, marketing, and operations can work together.
