Hi, I'm Piyush. I currently work as a Senior Product Manager. I love working on consumer products and nothing gives me more joy than seeing people using y...
I came across Agent SDK a while ago and since then wanted to experiment with it to see how it works and what can be built. Though there’s a lot of chatter around Claude Code but I hardly see people talking about Agent SDK that powers Claude Code and now Claude Cowork. I think so many cool things can be built on top of it and this project was attempt to learn what it has to offer. This post is not…
I’m going through reinforcement learning book by Sutton to get a better understanding of how RL works and build the intuition behind math that powers it. In a previous post I wrote about how I’ve started brushing up my math fundamentals and it gave me confidence to pick up this book, tackle theory and math and push myself even further. When I came across this equation, I understood what it was…
I first heard about Be My Eyes a few years ago - an app that connects blind and visually impaired people with sighted volunteers through video calls. You point your camera at something you can't identify, and a volunteer describes it to you. Recently I was reading something and a similar concept surfaced. I had a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W lying around and this seemed like the perfect project to build…
I love doing things that keep me on my toes. Math has always been one such thing. With so much going on in AI lately and research papers floating around, I got curious to read some of them. I could follow the details but the moment math appeared, it went over my head and stopped making sense. It was a clear reminder that my math skills had gotten rusty. I started with linear algebra and calculus…
My friends often ask me why I'm learning programming NOW. I guess the reason is I was fed up. I always had some random project idea of what could be built. However, I always lacked the programming skills. This was a constant bummer which eventually led to lots of ideas being dead. One day I decided to give it a serious shot after multiple tries over the years. This was August 2023. I knew nothing…
Most people think narrative is marketing. They're wrong. The biggest companies today didn't win by building better products. They won by telling better stories. Not marketing stories, but stories about how the world works. Tesla isn't worth more than every other car company combined because it makes better cars. It's worth that much because Elon Musk convinced enough people that Tesla wasn't a car…
A fascinating battle is unfolding between two very different companies: Granola, a focused AI meeting notes startup, and Notion, the Swiss Army knife of productivity software. What started as a simple story of a specialized tool vs a bundled feature has evolved into something much more complex. Notion is trying to make "AI meeting notes" disappear into its bundle. Granola is racing to make meeting…
