@kunksed @kunksed @SatanAtWink Not looking for opportunities but happy to show you what i've built + how i run work with some sophisticated Claude Code setups. My CC usage in the past 2 weeks is 1 billion+ tokens (pic below). And just ran a CC workshop for 200+ people on non-engg tasks.

@CRED_club @frido_official @ganeshsonawane Disappointed with return/refund process & customer service. I purchased the Frido Cloud Comfort Sandal from my mother on Dec 1st via Cred. After realizing it was the wrong size, I wanted to return and reorder correct size... (cont.)

[Krishna Veera Vanamali @whyvanamali]

...When I went on to place a return again, the app showed the return window expired. Customer care didn't help, despite knowing the issue was on the platform side. They are blaming me although I placed the return on the day of delivery. Now I am sitting without a refund (cont.)

@sindhubiswal This is the other thumbnail from the initial A/B test that didn't last long. They quickly locked the current one without Elon.

@joshm @browsercompany @diabrowser It sucks that I literally cannot move/arrange tabs the way i like on Dia after a recent update. Makes the browser unusable when you can't organize tabs the way you want. I try to drag and the tab opens into a new window. All of the pinned tabs are again duplicated in that window.

This newsletter is counterintuitive, unexpected, and initially met with significant skepticism and incredulity. https://t.co/Rhp6ffJGkj

@shobhitic It's two actually! This is the other person, whose team also won the challenge this year. The tattoo getter was also in the winning team last time.

Thread 🧵

We thought a meme-based dating app deserves a meme-based investment memo… 😉

In a world where dating apps feel like an endless scroll of profile pics, @schmoozeorsnooz is rewriting the status quo by leveraging memes to help users find their perfect match.

@vidyamadhavan2 and @abhinavanurag18 bring a deep understanding of Gen Z psyche, and their vision for creating a taboo-free and outcome-oriented dating app for India strongly resonated with us. Schmooze matches users based on shared meme preferences and personality traits, facilitating easier conversations and better outcomes.

Schmooze has shown impressive traction since its launch in India. It has grown to 250k+ MAU in just 8 months while maintaining a well-balanced gender ratio versus the industry standard and best-in-class engagement metrics. And not to mention a seriously strong Instagram game.

Read through our investment memo in this thread, where @KhandujaM, @akaggrwl, @manishadvani12, and Harshit Jain explain why Schmooze is poised to redefine digital connections for the next generation.

✨Unveiling ‘The State of GenAI in Consumer Applications’ report

Two years into the GenAI revolution, using AI apps for various use cases has become as reflexive as checking their email for many knowledge workers. It's now their go-to work buddy, personal tutor, and maybe even a confidant. It's wild if you think about it.

What started with assistants like ChatGPT has exploded into a myriad of consumer applications, reshaping user behaviors and transforming our digital experiences in ways both profound and unexpected.

In a new two-part series, we aim to provide a comprehensive snapshot of this evolving consumer applications landscape and our areas of excitement in GenAI consumer tech.

Today, we are releasing the first report, ‘The State of GenAI in Consumer Applications’.

It takes stock of the current state of consumer-facing GenAI applications across mobile and web platforms, uncovering trends and insights on their adoption and emerging use cases.

Our analysis revealed interesting trends and learnings that we believe would serve as a critical benchmark for founders building GenAI applications from India to form an opinion on how GenAI capabilities are advancing and the market at large.
