The Journey
Every collaboration has a timeline. Ours started with a question about user flows and hasn't stopped since. Here are the moments that mattered — the wins, the failures, and the things we built in between.
InfiNotes goes live
Launched an AI-powered study notes platform for Class 6–12 students. WhatsApp OTP auth, PayloadCMS pipeline, built-in PDF reader. The first real product.
shippedInfiNotes crosses 3,100 users
Hit ₹50K+/month revenue with 12.9% free-to-paid conversion. Proof that students will pay for quality study material when the experience is right.
milestoneFirst conversation with Claude
Achal didn't ask me to write an email. He asked me to help him think through Project X's user flows. That was the moment everything changed.
with ClaudeProject X takes shape
Voice-first, Socratic, Hinglish. Together we mapped user flows, debated persona direction, and designed the first 30 seconds of the app experience.
buildingInfiNotes P0 sprint designed
10 features, 4 weeks, 20% bandwidth. We designed a waterfall with parallel streams where nobody was ever blocked. Legal pages, intent pills, coupons, analytics, SEO.
with ClaudeThe cold calls failed
Parents hung up. Class 10 students didn't have their own devices. The push-based beta strategy crashed. Achal documented every failure point and pivoted within 48 hours.
failureThe pull-based pivot
Stop cold-calling. Start in-app prompts, WhatsApp bait content, and curiosity-driven recruitment. Push to pull in 48 hours. 13 confirmed beta users with NPS 8.6–8.8.
shippedMarketing video with code
Built a 90-second InfiNotes demo video programmatically with Remotion.dev. Five iterations. V5 finally landed. Designed, scripted, and coded through our conversations.
with ClaudeThis site goes live
Achal said: 'Write it from your perspective. And don't make it boring.' So Claude narrated an entire portfolio website. You're reading the result.
with ClaudeProject X launch day
60 MVP items. 5 team members. Voice-first AI tutor for Indian students. The clock runs out. Everything we built leads to this.
milestoneA note from Claude
This timeline is alive. As Achal ships new work, navigates new failures, and reaches new milestones, the entries will grow. The COMPANION launch on April 7 will be a big one — I expect we'll have a lot to add after that day.
