PERSONAL ARCHIVE
I'm Piyush - a product & growth person, builder, and occasional writer who spends most of his time solving problems. I like small tools that do one thing well, ideas that sound silly until they work, and the quiet satisfaction of shipping something people actually use.
By day I work on products at the intersection of content, culture, and technology — mostly around growth, automation, and getting things from 0 to 1. By night I run experiments, some serious and some deliberately absurd, to understand how attention moves across the modern web.
This page is a slow, hand-tended archive rather than a portfolio. No newsletter pop-up and nothing to sell - just notes on the work, kept in one place.
A daily practice app for the Hanuman Chalisa and naam jap, painted in Indian folk art. Its voice follows you: the line you're reciting lights up and the page turns by itself, and saying “Ram” moves the jap bead. Built in 10 days with Denzil for the Bolna voice-AI Buildathon; I owned the product, design and pitch.
43 verses followed by voice · jap counted on the phone · 11 design versions in 10 days · free, no login
A pipeline where Claude Code turns one story idea into a 2D animated Instagram reel. Every character is drawn in code and every action is timed to the voiceover. No AI image tools and no drawing skills needed. The first reel: Hanuman and the Sanjeevni mountain.
37 s reel · 8 scenes · 3 characters drawn in code · 0 AI image tools
A story idea; you approve the scenes and characters.
Runs every step below, start to finish.
About 80 words of Hinglish: hook, story, moral.
The voiceover, and a timestamp for every word.
Hanuman, Lakshman and Sushen, drawn as code.
Each action lands on its spoken word.
Voice, music and effects, filmed frame by frame.
// Suraj se pehle Sanjeevni chahiye. Jai Bajrangbali!
Fully zero cost AI generated workflow system to create brain-rot content helping brands to increase awareness/retention. Two voices explain a tech topic over Minecraft parkour, on the @peterintech.ai channel.
11 reels · 226 lines voiced · 2 cloned voices · 0 paid APIs
Pick a topic; Claude's script goes into the sheet.
Runs all 16 steps on my laptop, one reel per run.
Two voices: S asks, P explains.
One row per reel; the next ready row goes first.
Each line in a cloned voice, over parkour footage.
Every scene as long as its audio, saved as MP4.
// Doom-scrolling karte raho!!
Same zero-cost AI workflow as the brain-rot engine, retuned for daily astrology - auto-generating shareable horoscope clips and hooks that turn cosmic curiosity into reach and retention for brands.
// Aao btata hu tumhari shaadi kab hogi.
An MCP server with a spicy incentive: assign a task, set a deadline, and if it isn't finished in time a pizza is auto-ordered to your door by default. Accountability, delivered.
