I created this personal AI assistant called Aura to keep me company while working. It's an agentic chat bot that interact with my phone's calender, clock, and more.

Another concept from our archives that we're still proud of.
SYNTHH was our take on what an AI workspace assistant could feel like if it was designed around focus instead of constant notifications.
Instead of another chat interface, we explored a calmer experience with cinematic visuals, subtle motion, and an interface that fades into the background while helping you stay in flow.
We wanted every interaction to feel intentional, from the ambient UI to the conversational experience and the overall visual language.
It's always fun looking back at concepts like this and seeing ideas that are becoming more relevant today than when we first designed them.
Amazing work!
Hey Contra 👋
Two months ago I posted Promptly here as a work-in-progress and said I'd launch in about three weeks.
Then a health issue knocked me flat, and the three-week plan was gone.
I'm good now — and as of today, the build is done. I just published the full case study as well.
Quick recap: after shipping 20+ projects as a tech lead, I kept watching the same thing break. A founder says one thing, the developer hears another, and a month in, the whole build is based on a misunderstanding nobody caught early.
Promptly closes that gap. You describe your idea in plain English; the AI interviews you, pushes back on the vague parts, and writes a developer-ready spec while you chat.
But the chat is the easy part. The real engineering is everything that stops the AI from being trusted too much:
→ It never touches the database. 16 agents can only propose changes through typed tool calls; backend code checks each one, and invalid calls get rejected and logged.
→ Nothing ever gets lost. It snapshots before anything risky, so you can roll back a single module or the whole project.
→ Spend is capped, always. Every AI call passes four checks before it fires, and each one is logged with its exact cost.
One line sums up the architecture:
The AI proposes. The code decides.
The model gets to be creative. It never gets to be in charge.
Full case study is on my profile, and the product is live if you want to poke at it.
One question:
Shipped anything with LLMs in production? What guardrail saved you — or what missing one burned you?
Every comment on the last post shaped what got built. Thank you for that 🙏

🙌 Introducing Vyomaverse. 🚀
Vyomaverse is my own creative agency and design studio, built around the idea of creating brands and digital experiences without limits. From branding and UI/UX to websites and creative direction, this is the space where all my ideas come together.
This project was created as my submission for the Envato × Contra – Human by Design Challenge, combining sketching, AI-assisted exploration, and human creativity to build a complete brand identity.
The website is already live, but it's still a work in progress. I've just completed the hero section, and there's a lot more to build in the coming weeks.
Have a look, and stay tuned—the full experience is coming soon.
A huge thank you to Envato and Contra for this amazing challenge and the opportunity to share my creative process.
