Astro AI - AI-Powered Vedic Astrology Platform

Lightning AI Solutions (Self-Initiated)
Consumer Tech | Spiritual Wellness
Active Development for WhatsApp Launch
Timeline: 3 months (Ongoing Development) | Role: Founder, Solo Product Manager & Full-Stack Developer

The Challenge

Traditional astrology consultations are expensive ($50-$200 per session), time-consuming, and inaccessible to most people. Users face high costs, limited availability, complexity barriers, and app fatigue. 70% of 18-35 year olds are interested in astrology but only 15% have had professional readings due to cost and access barriers.

Our Solution

Built an AI-powered Vedic astrology platform combining Swiss Ephemeris for NASA-grade astronomical calculations with GPT-4 for natural language conversations, delivered via WhatsApp. The system provides personalized birth chart analysis, daily predictions, compatibility matching, and multilingual support (English, Hindi, Gujarati) - all for $2.99/month vs $50-200 per traditional consultation.

MBTI-Based Personality Matching System

Hunch Dating App
Dating & Social
Deployed & Live (Serving 100K+ users)
Timeline: 8 weeks | Role: Lead Product Manager & Algorithm Designer

The Challenge

Dating app had stagnant engagement despite 100K user base. Average session time stuck at 3 minutes, low message rate (2.3 per match vs industry 5+), 65% first-week churn, and no product differentiation. Users complained matches felt random with no transparency in how the algorithm works, making it hard to start meaningful conversations.

Our Solution

Designed and implemented ground-up personality matching system combining MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) psychological framework with existing preferences. Created transparent 0-100% compatibility scores with detailed explanations across 4 dimensions: Personality Compatibility (40%), Value Alignment (30%), Lifestyle Compatibility (20%), and Communication Style (10%). System provides educational insights about personality dynamics.

Voice-Based UXR Automation Agent

Hunch (Internal Product Team)
Research & Analytics
Deployed & Active (50+ daily interviews)
Timeline: 5 weeks | Role: Solo Product Manager & Full-Stack Developer

The Challenge

Product team needed 10x more user feedback but manual interviews were limiting: only 2-3 interviews/day capacity, $50/interview cost, 3 days from interview to insights, and couldn't scale without proportional cost increase. Attempted solutions like hiring more researchers (too expensive) and survey tools (low 12% response rates) failed.

Our Solution

Built AI-powered voice agent system automating entire interview pipeline: outbound calling (Twilio), natural voice conversations (ElevenLabs + GPT-4), real-time transcription (Whisper), sentiment analysis, theme extraction, and insights generation. Scaled capacity from 2-3 to 50+ interviews daily while reducing cost from $50 to $15 per interview.

Retool Marketing Analytics Dashboard

Hunch (Marketing Team)
Marketing & Analytics
Deployed & Active (Daily usage)
Timeline: 4 weeks | Role: Solo Product Manager & Data Engineer

The Challenge

Marketing team drowning in fragmented tools spending $1,200/month on Hootsuite ($300), Sprout Social ($500), and Mention ($400). Team spent 15+ hours/week copying data between tools, 2 days to generate weekly reports, with no sentiment analysis or unified view. Slow reaction to trending content and missed viral opportunities.

Our Solution

Built all-in-one analytics dashboard using Retool consolidating Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, PostgreSQL, and Google Analytics. Replaced 3 expensive SaaS tools with custom solution providing better insights. Added AI-powered sentiment analysis, viral content pattern identification, competitor tracking, and automated daily insight summaries—all in one interface.

Fine-Tuned In-App Chatbot

Hunch Dating App
Dating & Conversational AI
Deployed & Live (50K+ daily conversations)
Timeline: 6 weeks | Role: Solo AI Product Manager & ML Engineer

The Challenge

35% of matches never received a first message. Generic openers like 'Hey' got only 15% response rate. Average conversation length was just 3.2 messages before dying. Users reported not knowing what to say. 42% churned after no successful conversations in first week. Pre-written templates felt impersonal (8% usage) and random questions weren't contextual (12% response rate).

Our Solution

Fine-tuned GPT-3.5 on 450+ high-quality conversation examples to create personality-aware chatbot generating AI-powered conversation starters based on users' MBTI types. System generates 3-5 personalized icebreakers, contextual follow-up suggestions, and 'keep the conversation going' prompts—all tailored to personality compatibility dynamics between matches.

Campaign Management
Deployed & Active (8+ months)
Timeline: 6 weeks | Role: Solo Product Manager & Full-Stack Developer

The Challenge

Manual campaign creation took 2 days involving spreadsheets, SQL queries, and cross-team coordination. Required engineering team for each launch.

Our Solution

Built self-serve campaign management platform with visual campaign builder (no code/SQL required), precision audience targeting (age, gender, location, personality type, behavior), preview before launch, A/B test setup, real-time performance tracking, and automated scheduling. Replaced Amazon Personalize with custom targeting algorithm, eliminating $800/month dependency.
