@MeticulAi @fal Damn, this is lovely! Could have slowed the video a bit, too fast for me.

This is how I am humanizing my blog.

I don't use AI to write any of the content or copy on the website. Additionally, I have started to dictate my blog posts so that you can listen to them like a podcast!

I am not against AI. Honestly, I'd be extremely sad if AI disappears today.

I have tried to use AI for writing in the past but apart from the grammar or typos it really can't write well. Unlike code or math, writing doesn't have a verification system to write well.

If you are also doing something similar, I'd love to know where and how you are humanizing.

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

@firecrawl Interesting, but combine this with https://t.co/i5eAfkkReY and @bot you'll have a much better system.

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

Hiring is a difficult problem but a simple prompt like the below can make your search lot more intentional.

"Check my website for the latest blog post around my Malaysia travel, where I use Grokbot to optimize for travel. So basically I want to use this information on this particular blog post to target a couple of companies or startups that are building in this AI travel agents ecosystem."

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

I am bullish on AI agents for travel.

I wrote about my recent travel experience to Malaysia using Grok Bots.

I'm currently traveling and my god!

Grok Bot is my real intern! Takes so much load of me. An absolute game changer!

It handles my travel, email, drive, shopping, oof and I haven't even pushed the limits.

You should try it!

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

Convinced that AI Agents with an always on computer is the future.

My Grok Bot takes a lot of stress of my hands.

My current subscriptions are Claude Max and Cursor Premium (only runs my Grok)

My job applications are automated at the moment.

Do I like it? No.

But have to increase the velocity to get the top of the funnel moving.

My cold emails are automated too but I write the mails myself.

The automation is through Grok Bot which finds me the email ids of interesting companies and founders to reach out to.

PS: You can use https://t.co/bAReuOSMhv and Grok Bot to do the same automation. Works with your existing subscriptions.

I should be sleeping but figured I should let you folks know that.

https://t.co/BrDAdOa6Qd now supports 600+ boards

My goal is to have 1000+ boards by the end of the year while keep my systems performant.

PS: The platform is fully free at the moment.

@trq212 Grass is always greener on the other side.

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

Me in the job market.

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

A neat tip to deal with customers: https://t.co/BxoBQinX5m

With AI, I can use this meme for anything and everything.

PS: I have a @bot that is a meme specialist.

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

@hunvreus Yes, absolutely stupid and I too mark them as spam.

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

https://t.co/gaT4AqFk2a will get out of beta next month.

Beta gave me some insights from other users and dogfooding it myself.

The new tracks will focus on teaching you the non-implementation stuff. This is a sample lesson from the system design track.

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

This is how I build new products in less than 2 weeks using Claude.

↓

Create a new folder locally.

Install `npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills`

My product idea -> `/grill-with-docs` + `/design`

Claude Design is a crucial part of my workflow. I do mention not to write any code till the design is locked.

Then I spawn 3 subagents around Product, Design, and Leadership to audit the idea and the design.

Fix the issues. Then start another `/grill-with-docs` session to start designing the codebase.

It is pretty much always a monorepo with the following apps

- An API app
- A web app
- A docs app
- A marketing site app

The API is OpenAPI spec compliant so the web app can autogenerate the react query hooks, or at times I use hono client. What matters here is type safety while avoiding code drifts.

I primarily deploy on Cloudflare.

Tada! This is how I quite literally work.

Just connected @bot with SuperImpress to help me with the job search. Let us see how helpful it is.

PS: You can connect https://t.co/bAReuOSMhv to your own AI subscription with the MCP and use the full platform to help with your job search for free. I have over 500 company career boards being watched.

"If you think that good design is expensive, you should look at the cost of bad design."

This is from Sir Ralf Dieter Speth, the current chairman of TVS Motor Company. He was previously the CEO of Jaguar Land Rover.

Today, most of my time and learning effort goes into design. AI has made it clear. Good design will win. I am still an engineer but I barely write any code on my own, once I make the engineering decisions, the rest of the freed implementation time goes into learning design.

Expect all my products to be delightful in design. I am actively revamping https://t.co/52g7hHhrO9 and https://t.co/bAReuOSMhv to match my new design sense.

PS: Design includes product, branding, marketing, and distribution.

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

@GergelyOrosz You put my thoughts into words perfectly!

[Hruthik Reddy @thisisyhr]

I was supposed to cancel my Anthropic subscription.

Instead I upgraded to their 20x Max plan.

All of this because of Opus 5.5, now I am back to the 10x plan, just because I don't use my limits.

Either way, I am going to stick around Claude, they are doing a crazy good job.
