Software engineer building with AI. Learning SaaS + distribution in public. Fueled by coffee, debugged by humour ☕

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

Hey @X 👋 - I'm Arkojeet.

I spent the last 2 years as a core engineer, designing and building real-time trading systems. Now I'm building on my own.

I'm fascinated by AI productivity and how agentic AI is changing the way we build software.

My hot take 🔥: "Good code is being replaced by good agentic principles!"

These days my best "code" is a well-written prompt, and my code reviews are mostly me arguing with an agent 😅

I'm here to build in public, share what I learn, and connect with fellow builders.

What are you building right now? Let's #connect. ☕

@CKPillaiAI @Rajengg1 Privacy. With people increasingly becoming paranoid about their chats and notes being exploited, it felt like a natural thing to give back to the community :)

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@katesaikishore Yup!

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@sambuild1 I'm building Koru, an open-source AI workspace that keeps your notes local. https://t.co/L6UqQTOHBV What are you working on right now?
Let's connect!

@aiwithadb Koru: an open-source, local-first AI workspace. Your notes stay on your machine, and the AI works with them there. Built in public. https://t.co/L6UqQTOHBV

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@billgnofficial Still here and building. I'm making Koru, an open-source AI workspace that runs local-first, so your notes stay on your own machine. https://t.co/L6UqQTOHBV Would love to compare notes on launches, since that's your world.

@frunkla @X Another engineer who moved from a hardcore domain into building apps. Mine was trading systems, now AI productivity with an open-source, local-first workspace. Curious what your finance apps do. Let's connect.

@sagarmoy22 @X Open source and AI is exactly my lane. I'm building Koru, an open-source, local-first AI workspace, after 2 years as an engineer on real-time trading systems. Happy to connect and swap what's working!

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@UnveilWithKunal A tool that catches when client sites drop out of Google sounds like something agencies would pay for quietly and forever. I'm an ex trading-systems engineer, now working on an open-source, local-first AI workspace. Following along. Let's connect!

Indie builder here. I spent 2 years building real-time trading systems and now I'm building Koru, an open-source, local-first AI workspace where your notes stay on your machine. Love that Founder Notes digs into the problems founders hit, not just the wins. Would be great to connect!

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@cheaf25master I'm working on Koru, an open-source, local-first AI workspace. Your notes stay on your device and the AI comes to them. https://t.co/L6UqQTOHBV What's the cool thing you're building?
Let's connect!

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@md_kasif_uddin Building on the AI and full-stack side here. I used to engineer real-time trading systems, and now I'm building an open-source, local-first AI workspace. What AI project in Python are you working on right now?
Let's connect and share ideas!

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@cgcorporation I think building got cheap and trust didn't. For something like Koru, an open-source, local-first AI workspace, the hard part is finding the people who actually care that their notes stay on their machine. Which channel has worked best for you so far?

@gaelmelen Shenzhen sounds like the right place to explore AI and hardware together. I'm building an open-source, local-first AI workspace, so on-device AI is my favourite topic. Is your startup hardware-first, or software on top?
Would like to connect!

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@itsjankoenig Congrats on 260! I'm building Koru, an open-source, local-first AI workspace. https://t.co/L6UqQTOHBV Since you build tools that kill boring work, which task would you hand to an AI first if it ran entirely on your own machine?

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@dayzeroltd Building Koru, an open-source, local-first AI workspace. Notes live on your own machine and the AI works on top. https://t.co/L6UqQTOHBV Love the early-believers-before-launch idea. That's pretty much how I'm trying to grow Koru in public.

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@MekalaKaveri Here's mine: Koru, an open-source, local-first AI workspace. Your notes stay on your machine and the AI works on top of them. https://t.co/L6UqQTOHBV Would love to see what you're taking from 0 to 1 as well. Let's connect!

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@theamitnikhade Runtime security for agents is underrated. I'm building a local-first AI workspace where agents work on people's own files, so permission gates and audit trails are on my mind constantly. What's the most common bad behaviour venzx catches? Count me in on the 11.

[Arkojeet Bera @_arkojeet]

@piunknown043 @X Hey Om 👋 Distributed systems is where I come from. I built real-time trading systems before switching to agentic AI as an indie founder, and I'm now working on a local-first AI workspace. Which part of the stack are you going deepest on right now? Happy to connect!
