Google’s NotebookLM is crazy good. My mind is blown by the accuracy of the summary, the human voices, the banter, and the conversation. 🤯🤯 I gave it an 1,814 page CFPB Examination and Supervision Manual - one of the most boring topics for most. It consumed those 1,800+ pages (imagine the context window size) and spit out a great conversation in a few mins. I can’t distinguish it from a real podcast, it actually is than the ones out there. I can’t imagine what the next 12 months will bring us.

Ok, my mind is blown with Replit Agents. I started using it because I was bored on a train ride a couple of days ago. So today I tried to build a Trello clone and build a fully functional app in like 45 mins. I showed it to a few people in the office and the guy is like "I should quit my job." He built a stock tracking app in 2 mins and added a few features he wanted. I can't imagine the world being the same in 10 years if software writing could be supercharged like this. Replit has really hit it out of the park. I don't need ChatGPT now. I'll just build apps in Replit. I'm a fan and a convert.

We started a podcast. In Hindi. This is "Episode 1: Founder Ke Paise." Abhijeet and I have had lots of long conversations about startups, founders, and building companies. Our conversations were more honest and direct when we talked in Hindi. When we discuss ideas in Hindi, everything becomes easy and effortless. Many of our friends have had the same experience. But we couldn't find anyone in the Bay Area openly discussing ideas in Hindi. So, we decided to start a podcast in Hindi to bring these discussions and conversations to everyone. We plan to discuss anything we find interesting. We also plan to have interesting and accomplished guests. I think they'll share lots of insights that are lost because of the language. Hope you all like it.

I found Stilt's video for our Y Combinator 2016 application. The video was shot on a makeshift table (recorded on an old laptop) at my apartment in San Francisco. Priyank Singh and I were a couple of normal H-1B visa holders (prior international students) who thought a company should exist to provide better financial services for immigrants. We had no outside funding, so we started lending our money. When we applied, we had lent out $25,000 from our savings to strangers on the internet. When we ran out of our savings, we borrowed from friends. By the time we interviewed, that number had increased to $50,000. By the time we sold the company, we had originated hundreds of millions in loans to immigrants from more than 150 countries. Everything starts small. If you are interested in building a startup, just launch. Build one step at a time, and you'll get much farther than you thought you would in a short time.
