Hello & , I am Pravash Karki Product designer and AI solutions architect.
I build products you can use without a manual, and write essays for thinking clearly.
Essays
Advice without context
Advice that worked for the expert can send someone else after the wrong goal. Mine should come with its conditions.
Asking the first question
Going first opens a conversation. Leaving room after my question keeps it open.
An agent that lives in the project management tool
A chat with an agent leaves no time to think. A task with a comment on it builds that time in.
An operating system for a team of one
Once the record of the work lived in files instead of chat, it survived every session, whichever coding agent picked it up.
The void has a process
Fixing a compromised site protects that site. Reporting the servers behind it can protect the next one.
Thoughts
Taste is the input
A camera does not make a photographer. A music app does not make a producer. An AI tool does not make a thinker.
Ego is a shadow
Some things need a certain kind of ego. Yet we have given the word a bad name.
Nice is how you appear
Nice is easy. A smile, a soft word. It costs nothing and asks nothing.
