AI is here


Hi Reader

How are you doing?

Last week was very interesting as there was a knee jerk reaction on how AI is coming after the software sector. Well, if you are not following it, it's ok. Long story short. There was a huge correction in the market valuation of all the IT service companies. And largely attributed to Anthropic's latest launch.

This is just the beginning of the effects that we are seeing. AI is already here and it's scary at one end and exciting at the other end.

Why exciting? The big tech has democratised the availability of the intelligence.

Yup. That's how I'm seeing it.

More than tools and power, I feel you have access to unlimited and collective intelligence. In lay man terms, it's housed in black boxes called models. There are different kinds of them.

At the bare minimum, you'd need to understand how to use models for your advantage. You can create a custom model for yourself based on what's your use case. For example, yesterday, during a coaching call, we created a custom GPT model called "Contest Speech Architect". And it's going to be fun playing with it. We are very excited to see it'll pan out to come up with the script.

Learn what it is, and see what you can do with it in an ethical way. I guess that's super important.

That's it from me, and have a great week ahead.

As always, thanks for being awesome!

Hi Reader How are you doing? I wanted to share this with my community here but maybe this week is the right time. We stress a lot about various techniques and ideas that sometimes we miss concentrating on one thing. It just hit me like a ton of bricks when I watched my 6 year old's first stage experience holding the microphone. (Ok, I got very emotional seeing that while generally I portray an image of not getting emotional!) Watch the video here. It's a poem and I'm fairly confident you'll...

Hi Reader How are you doing? I'm sure you got your 2026 dialled in. Come one, we are almost at the end of Jan 2026! I have been researching and understanding the Gen AI eco system. I think it is already here. You may wonder why all this hype. AI was always there and we were part of it (amazon recommending more products, or your incoming emails being classified into spam/not spam, etc). Top tech companies where using it for a while. The hype around AI became more because of Gen AI (Generative...

Hi Reader, I know. I know.I’m writing to you after almost three weeks. A lot has been happening.And yes—this also includes me turning 41 few days back. Still learning about life.(And wife.) Here are a few unexpected lessons I’ve picked up recently: I can try to stop winning arguments and avoid giving the last statement.(Which basically translates to: just say sorry and keep your mouth shut. I know. Very hard. But… try.) I’m taking coaching from my wife on how to kiss.Quick tip for all the...
