i made a skill called /remove-ai-slop. inspired by emil’s review skill and cursor’s code quality skill, it’s for everyone who’s tired of the same AI slop tells in design and copy. you can grab it here: tushaarmehtaa.xyz/skill if it helps make your apps, websites, or landing pages a little less generic, give it a ⭐

yesterday at @aiweekendsxyz we hosted a room just for the ladies to come in, discuss ideas problems and build with ai. ~ 24 hours, we went 18%→44% audience on socials. can’t wait to have the room 50-50 as well.

did the first chapter of @aiweekendsxyz in ahmedabad yesterday. something i wished existed back when i was in college. ahmedabad has a lot of events, but most either go unnoticed or are heavily paid. we never really had a proper stage for builders. i was in bangalore last month, attended one of the sessions, and instantly knew i wanted to bring this to ahmedabad. few weeks later, i texted @0xratnakar and @tushaarmehtaa asking if we could do it here. we got on a call the next day and planned the whole thing in a week. no idea where we’d do it, who’d show up, or how we’d manage it. but we did it anyway. and yes, “we”. huge help from @uiwithjay and @Bhartiyaanshul. for the first session, the response was honestly really good, especially considering we barely spoke about it online. people travelled from other cities for a 5-hour co-build session. some built web apps for themselves, some built things for their parents’ businesses. that was the best part. huge s/o to @rahulbhadoriiya for joining us and giving valuable feedback and motivation to everyone who attended. and we’re not stopping here. we want more builders to come together and build awesome things. so yeah, we’re bringing it again. more on this later lol. so stoked.

really really happy to see this become a reality. huge kudos to @0xratnakar, @saluja_ira, @takeiteasyUrvy and everyone else behind AI & Women. they knocked on every door, built in public, kept posting, saw rejections, and still made it happen, with or without the support we initially expected. there's a lot to learn from this first edition and that's exactly what firsts are for. hopefully this is the first of many, and i can't wait to help organize the next one once i'm back in India.

this is so good!!

found it. the best place on earth to lock in.

so excited for this!!!!

went to the codex meetup in london last night and i was blown away by the programming, the infrastructure, and how thoughtfully everything was put together. they had 4 screens running in parallel. everyone took about 15 seconds to demo, and they had even built a custom tool just for demos. we’ve got amazing demos in bangalore too but the operations, efficiency, and attention to detail here were on another level. lots of notes on how we should run @aiweekendsxyz events back in india.

first in my bloodline to see THIS library

first in my bloodline to watch the sun set after 10 pm 😭

first in my bloodline to reach the airport 4 hours before takeoff 😭

we started as a small experiment to bring people together to learn, build and explore ai. over the past few months, we've hosted sessions across cities, met incredible people, and built a community we never imagined. thank you to everyone who showed up, volunteered, shared the word, or simply believed in what we're building. we're genuinely grateful. now it's time for the next step. we want to bring @aiweekendsxyz to more cities. if you'd like to host, organize, or help build a local chapter in your city, we'd love to work with you. just shoot me at priyanshu@ratnakar.xyz // priyanshu@aiweekends.xyz

getting started 📍bengaluru

guys... i've received way too many DMs asking if you can attend AI & Women is in fact, for women 😭

whenever people talk about the number of YC rejections i feel like YC is the UPSC of the startup world 😭

okay, time to risk it all either the risk ends, or it all does. - left their hometown ✅ - lived alone ✅ - run a marathon ✅ - risked it all ❌ - hit rock bottom ❌ - learned to cook ✅ - overcome an addiction ✅ - changed career ✅ - been punched ✅ - fallen in love ✅ - had their heart broken ✅

We noticed a gap and We are trying to do something about it. AI & Women is our first women only event. A panel A hands-on and cobuild workshop. A room designed so nobody has to think twice before walking in. 5th July. Bengaluru. Food and drinks on the house. Tag someone you should feel part of this. women.aiweekends.xyz

been wanting to do this for a while. really excited to finally make it happen. if you know someone who should be in the room, send this their way.

as desperate as it may feel, following up is just as important as reaching out. following up has helped me: > get paid for work i’d done > close deals that felt impossible at first > convert paying users for bangersonly.xyz people are busy. follow up.
