What do you think of the Indian IT companies? Will they survive the AI onslaught? Where do you see them in the next five years?

This is very smart. Thank you for sharing this.

I am not a developer. Could you explain the process in a bit more detail? I want to build the same command. I only have the $20 subscription for Claude. Do I need to create a project and create a learning profile.md file and feed what I already know? And then what do I do?

Sorry if that's too many questions.

Non-tech guy here. How much RAM & CPU will it consume? I have 2 laptops - one with Windows 11 and another with Linux Mint.

Can it run on these two OS? How to install it in a simple way?

I am on Android. Could you make the app on this platform too?

How about a webapp that runs in desktop/mobile browser?

Does the AI store & train on my voice?

Nothing much here, other than 5-6 blogposts. And nothing interesting for the HN crowd.

Sorry, I couldn't understand your comment fully.

Do you mean one should post their reviews of last 10 books read into Gemini and then ask it to find 20 rare-gems books based on the content of those reviews?

If it comes to gutters, leak it, open-source it, and seed it via torrents as well. Just don't do it in your name.
