Live systems, and the proof behind the pitch

Three shipped AI projects, plus the concrete AI-PM artifacts — evals, cost models, PRDs — that back up the positioning instead of just claiming it.

Live projects

01 / konvolead

KonvoLead

A grounded, multi-tenant AI agent that qualifies real-estate leads by phone and WhatsApp, books site visits, and gives sales teams a dashboard that proves it's working.

TypeScriptClaude (Anthropic)RAG + RerankingVoice + WhatsAppSupabase / pgvectorMulti-tenant SaaS
  • An 11-tool agent handles knowledge Q&A, lead qualification, scheduling, and human escalation across phone calls and WhatsApp — without inventing a price, spec, or availability
  • Retrieval + reranking over a structured project knowledge base grounds every answer in real source docs, not model recall
  • True multi-tenant: one deployment serves many developer accounts, each with its own number, persona, and dashboard
  • Production-hardened by real incidents — a knowledge-layer outage and two live timezone bugs, found and fixed in production

02 / llm-trading-agent

NIFTY Options Trading Co-Pilot

An event-driven NIFTY options system where Claude fuses technicals, options-chain positioning, and scored news into an explainable trade call, backed by a risk-gated execution engine now in active build.

Claude (Anthropic)TypeScript / FastifyZerodha Kite ConnectPostgreSQL + PrismaTradingView Pine Scripts
  • A signal-fusion engine blends 6 TradingView indicators, live options-chain positioning, and LLM-scored news into one directional score
  • Claude turns that fused signal into an explainable, scored trade recommendation — not a black-box number
  • A risk-gated execution layer handles order placement, exit management, and fill tracking against the broker API
  • A dry-run mode replays the exact same order/exit/P&L pipeline on paper trades before anything touches real capital

Live demo coming soon

Interactive walkthrough of the signal-fusion → co-pilot → execution pipeline, with a real fused-signal snapshot and a sample redacted trade recommendation.

03 / litpartyshit

LitPartyShit

A direct-to-consumer LED and fiber-optic party-wear brand — sourced, safety-tested, and marketed end to end, with AI-generated creative driving the entire acquisition funnel.

ShopifyAI Image & Video GenerationMeta AdsChina Sourcing & Supply Chain
  • Founded in 2023, from garage prototyping to a safety-tested product line — LED bucket hats, fiber-optic dance whips, wristbands, wands, and more
  • Owns the full funnel solo: sourcing, Shopify storefront, AI-generated ad creative, and Meta Ads acquisition
  • Positioned on safety and quality — premium LEDs, rechargeable batteries, tested to safety standards — against a market of cheap imports

In progress

AI systems & labs — the roadmap

Being fluent in AI systems means showing the artifacts, not just claiming the skill. Tracked openly as it gets built.

live

Live product — Ask Sukul AI

The chat on this site is the artifact: a Claude-powered assistant grounded in Sukul's own career notes and project write-ups, gated behind a lead-capture step after the first exchange, and built to say it doesn't know rather than hallucinate when a question falls outside what it's grounded in.

The highest-signal artifact on this page — you can test the actual product in the corner of this screen right now instead of taking a case study's word for it.

planned

Eval suite — Ask Sukul AI

A documented eval board for Ask Sukul AI's answers — roughly 30 happy-path questions about Sukul's background, 10 edge cases (ambiguous or out-of-scope asks), and 10 adversarial prompts probing for hallucination or persona breaks, scored on factuality, refusal-appropriateness, and tone. Published as a spreadsheet/JSONL with a before/after comparison across system-prompt revisions.

Repeatedly called the single most under-prepared AI-PM skill — this proves it against a product you can go interrogate yourself, not a toy example.

planned

AI-native PRD — the trading agent

A one-feature PRD for the trading agent's LLM level-setting step: model-choice rationale under real latency and cost constraints, the structured prompt that turns indicator state into entry/target/stop levels, eval criteria for a system where being wrong is expensive, a cost model for LLM calls per trading day, failure modes like hallucinated levels or bad fills with detection and response, and the risk-gate logic that keeps hard limits in the loop.

Most PRDs stop at the feature — this one shows the underlying system got designed, for a case where skipping that design costs real money.

planned

Cost & latency model — KonvoLead

A spreadsheet modeling KonvoLead's real cost and latency envelope: tokens per WhatsApp turn across retrieval and generation, cost per qualified lead over a full multi-day conversation, p50/p95 response latency against WhatsApp's UX expectations, and monthly cost at 100/1k/10k active leads with caching impact on repeat-context RAG calls.

Most AI PMs can't do this confidently for a real multi-turn, tool-using system — it's a concrete, rare differentiator.

planned

Model comparison — KonvoLead

A real multi-turn KonvoLead conversation — RAG lookups plus a scheduling tool call — run across Claude, GPT, and Gemini, compared on retrieval faithfulness, tool-calling reliability, multi-day state tracking, and cost per conversation, with a clear recommendation.

Shows the judgment to pick the right model for a production agent, not just familiarity with one.

live

Visuals & creatives — LitPartyShit

A small gallery of marketing visuals for LitPartyShit made with AI image and video-generation tools — real creative-pipeline output, shown next to the prompts and iterations behind them, not a mockup.

Generative creative that has to convert paid traffic is a different bar than a demo that only has to look plausible — this is that bar, with the receipts.

03 / Why I build

PM judgment, builder's hands

After 4.5 years PM'ing at Microsoft, I realized —

You cannot build exceptional AI products if you don't understand the underlying tech natively.

I took an intentional sabbatical to get my hands dirty — engineering agents, configuring vector databases, and managing token economics.

Today, I combine Big Tech product judgment with the speed and technical capability of a 0-to-1 AI builder.
