Crossed 1750 followers, so figured it's time for a little introduction! Hey, I'm Paras, an engineer turned founder, building things at the intersection of AI, startups, and growth. Based in India 🇮🇳 A bit about me: - Currently building Varnan, helping pre scale AI startups with GTM - Making content for 300k+ people on Instagram from last 5 years with 50M+ views - Collaborated with OpenAI, Tencent, Wispr and all the major AI Labs - Given 2 TEDx talks on AI and taught 100+ live sessions on AI, LLMs, and agents. - Worked as GTM and Devrel person with 2 YC-backed AI startups, Unify AI and Athina AI - Started my career as a backend engineer at Paytm before moving deeper into AI Outside of work: - Learning how to live a life outside my bubble and build non transactional relationships - Dropped weight (105kg's -> 85kg's) and loving it - Getting into badminton and cricket slowly - Anything business attracts me a lot I mostly post about AI, interesting products, startups, distribution, and whatever I'm learning along the way. Always happy to meet interesting people, exchange ideas, and learn what others are building. Say hi! :)

Here's my full process (in order): - Research with AI about a topic and ask it to write reel script of less than 45 seconds - Then make the audio/video on elevenlabs/heygen depending on whether you want it to be faceless or with face - After that, Give that script to ChatGPT in a new chat and depending on the style ask it to write a detailed prompt for an AI Agent line by line explaining all the visuals and syncing it with the audio. Also prompt the balance of your video, split video and full screen animation you want in final output. - Give it to Opus on medium level at least along with assets that you need in video (people images, place images and others) plus the audio and video generated above. 5 editing styles and sample prompts are attached in the 1st tweet if you want to take inspiration: Vox Style, Cinematic 3D, Hand Drawn, Remotion Plugin Style, Layered Parallax

Why am I receiving random hiring emails for a 5 day old position suddenly?

How do I teach my ChatGPT and Claude to always answer me in points? Can anyone help?

We were told AI would create more jobs than it replaces. Maybe it will, but I don’t think those new jobs will be created nearly as fast as existing roles are being eliminated The job market is already extremely competitive, and I think the next few years could become even harder.

100% agree, I have made close to 1200 videos (starting 2021) and have worked with multiple editors, creative people and as a result I now know what works for a brand in storytelling Now when people ask me how do I transition in this field, I think what should I advice them

First logical answer I got on this topic

Please help me understand why are we complicating our lives so much? In my opinion, this is just another rich people thing. Every once in a while, rich people need something new to separate themselves from the normal crowd and feel a little more elite. Now it's a wearable attached to your head. Our parents never needed any of this, and I don't think we need it either. Most of us are not Virat Kohli or Ronaldo that we need to track our brain blood flow and optimise every little thing. I understand there might be some science behind it, but what's the actual need for a normal person? Why do we want to add one more thing to worry about in our lives? Life is already complicated enough.

I interviewed for the OpenAI last year for the GTM Enablement Lead Position, India and these are my notes from that time

Sent an assignment which AI cannot do and now everyone has 24hrs to do it Lessgoooo

5 INSTAGRAM TRENDS I'D TRY IF I WERE RUNNING A BRAND PAGE RIGHT NOW: 1. BUT I'M ALSO: A teacher starts with her job title, then shows all the other sides of her life. 33K+ likes. Founders could do this with the stuff nobody sees behind the business. - Reference link for trend in comments 2. NEW STYLES CALLING: A jewellery brand put its pendants on a phone's dial screen. Each number shows a different design. 15K+ likes. Pretty clever way to get people looking through your collection. - Reference: link for trend in comments 3. NOTES APP TOUR: Ashleigh shared her actual Notes app, including a "top 3" to-do list with 8 things on it. 16K likes. The comments are full of people relating to it. I'd love to see a founder share their unfiltered notes from building a company. - Reference: link for trend in comments 4. 2X THE FUN: Someone shows a Monster Energy can, then flashes two cans right when the guitar hits. You could try this with a product bundle or two bestsellers. The timing is what makes it funny. - Reference: link for trend in comments 5.ON/OFF BUTTON: A shoe store used the toggle trend to announce its trunk show. You wait for the switch to flip before seeing the details. I'd try this for a product drop or an upcoming sale. - Reference: link for trend in comments I'd love to see more Indian D2C brands try stuff like this. follow me for more such trend next week!

(2/3) The fix was process: agents, workflows, the best models and human taste. Ran again and again On Sloosh, that’s called a Space. → Drop in any photo, video or idea → Run once, or on hundreds of assets → Build your own in Spacelab → Use it in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor via MCP Try sloosh.ai today for free. Got an idea? Sloosh it.

I had early access to Sloosh and I can tell you with surety that I haven’t seen such a strong product in a while. I now do a lot of creatives for my 250k+ Insta audience with Sloosh and the stats are so solid. If you are a creator, you should try it!

1 position and 75+ applications 😶‍🌫️

I have seen the team work and they ship at Claude Speed. Very bullish on the product team is building 🥇

Codex Subagents btw doing 1 single task 💀

Telling from experience, no VC is ready to invest in a pure service based business. They are open for 2 things: - Agency backed by creator distribution - Agency which is productised internally
