My first developer event: @OpenAI DevDay Exchange, Bengaluru, 16 October 2026

The sessions went from GPT-Live and image generation to Sites, Codex Security and the Agents API.

The most interesting part for me was actually the dots. With the Pro plan OpenAI offered me for being a Student Collective Campus Lead 😄, I'd had access to it for about 2 to 3 weeks by then.

Guess what?? I used dots for my entire Bengaluru trip
→journey details
→hotel bookings
→navigation, sightseeing and a lot more...
Truly incredible!!

Altogether, a wonderful event: so many people to meet and some really cool stuff to see.
See you again, Bengaluru.

Can't wait to be at more of these DevDay Exchanges!

Growing on X isn’t some mystery, but thinking about what to post and trying to perfect it every time made me wait for almost 2 months.

Unlike every other platform where I can use AI, @X is the one that makes me feel the AI.

Coz the writing is what makes me "ME". So I’ll just write and share my own thoughts in my own words.

This is Day 1. Wish me luck @grok !!

@Oops_itsAayush @AnthropicAI @claudeai That's awesome. Congratulations.!!

Dear @TeamYouTube,

I've always believed you have the best recommendation system on the internet. In my first few months as a small creator, my videos hit 85K, 37K and 32K views.

Since then I've learned how to package properly, from titles to thumbnails to hooks, mostly from videos that taught me how.

My new video is about how I earned my first ₹1 lakh as a student. Here's what it was suggested next to.

A video about building a company at 17 makes sense. Betting app scams, trading and a VDA explainer don't. Those viewers aren't going to click a student's story. From my side it looks like this: they don't click, the numbers drop, and the video stops getting shown.

It happened on my last video too. It recovered later, but it keeps happening.

Maybe "₹1 lakh" in my title is pulling money videos. If that's on me, tell me and I'll fix it.

I'm not asking for views. If a video flops, I learn from it. My next video is literally about how YouTube changed my life.

I'm asking you to check whether my channel is reaching the right people.

@jeet_dhandha @AnthropicAI I guess it was this "API credits and higher rate limits to add Claude-powered features to CampusLoom and keep them free for students..."

[Chandan Mettu @chandanmettu]

We got into Claude for Startups!!

Our startup, CampusLoom, has been accepted into @AnthropicAI's startup program!
