2025 has been one of the amazing years personally for me thus far…

Started building something 7 months ago that became one of the most viral things in India 🇮🇳 - people loved it, people hated it - but all of them were using it - half baked product killing at distribution 🤯 - peak scaling moments of my startup life 💪

Planned the craziest and literally last minute trip to SF - knew nobody there - went alone, came back with memories worth millions!!!!!!

Made random friends who became one the best ones❤️ - @NanoCodesAI @AndresDevX @ratsuns

Met @AravSrinivas - this was just a crazy story 😅

Pitched at events like @hackerdojo, attended @a16z’s @Techweek_ , got really invaluable feedback, at one point pitched 300 times in a day (learnt my lesson😅) but most importantly people shared my passion - they knew I was a founder on a mission there... and some really helped me to get connected to others - man SF is different ❤️

Met other Founders who were building the next big insane projects I have ever heard.. wow 🤯 inspiring to the core 😍

But what truly stands out is the experience and journey so far…🫡

Appreciate all of you who have been part of my crazy insane roller coaster life thus far.. Wishing you all much love and a Happy New Year 2026 - make it yours 🙌

@briannnwagner How not get banned ?

Question: obviously OpenAI Anthropic can whip up something like instinct in a few hours, what’s then the moat here ?

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@jbahrdestefano Do you think this future will include a lot of Law suits against illegal bot invasion?

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@apoorva_mehta How will they run ads in WhatsApp messages? It will then become too noisy when every reply includes a ad 😅

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

Will @resy sue instinct for all the illegal bot invasion it has subjected to ?

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@omooretweets This is actually the tug of war that cannot be easily solved, resy has built up some level of reputation in the market, and once agents gets involved, the brand+reputation starts to fade away, which obviously resy wouldn’t like.. by doing this they are sending a message…

@paulg Can the pen be mightier than.. AI

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@omooretweets I guess he be like.. “a pen is mightier than… voice”

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

Okay, does running models locally on your device (mobile, laptop etc) drain or even degrade your battery more overtime ? Any guesses here ?

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@dsllwn bro why is this viral.. 😅

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@TheHolyKau all this love is currently around VC ecosystem , do you mind using a opensource / other alternatives to this ?

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@anshnanda btw cookies expire, so the need to keep requesting this login to users on a regular basis, and if the website sense something off, this can be reset to short intervals so agents need to login multiple times..

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@venturetwins @bot i think it will be won by distribution, whoever builds a way to capture users at scale will dominate the prompt interface, usability etc.

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@HimanshiSingh_ Yo 🫡

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@dravishaa That can be solved, anything else did you use it for ?

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@sumanthr @dougleone yup, indian VCs are.. well lets just say been there seen that..

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@dravishaa what site was it ? mind sharing..

[Rahᵾl Chavan @ichbinrc]

@alexkehr i guess this is what happens when the product falls in hands of a real consumer and not a VC 😅
