I’m writing a book. So for that I’m hand painted illustrations

I hope it happens quickly. These days I see many wearing those even in birthday parties as they want to capture every moment. But I find it pretty intrusive and awkward as if I’m on stage all the time

Yes. I believe that. It’s just matter of time they start charging us quite a bit. And we won’t complain as we are so used to using by then

I think it feels too! I don’t know why but my Claude mostly cracks jokes with me or even adds a at the end of some conversations! It’s creepy,at times

I built Loomavi. It decodes the pattern underneath what you are feeling and gives you the insight as a personal letter using psychology and philosophy.

I am a data scientist by background. Took a career break to become a mom and built this because I kept looking for something like it and could not find it anywhere.

8 days live. Still figuring a lot out but the product feels real. https://loomavi.com/ if curious.

Congratulations on starting so early. It’s impressive. I think getting the users is a hard part now because users are overloaded with different kinds of services and apps so you have to double down and decide who you are targeting and marketing for and only reach out to them.

I agree with you this lowering of barrier has made it so easy for everybody to create apps. The developer might not know what is good, but the customer surely decides so finally watch this is actually only the good ones. And also the art is not just developing right? it’s also about having that idea having that vision working towards positioning it and then marketing in a way that appeals to other users not just to the one who created it

Sorry missed the point so to stand out I think we should know what is the gap and why we are creating the product and who is it for how we are creating it has become much easier now

Great question but the point of AI is to just remove the barrier. You still need to have the depth and understanding of what you’re creating and why you are creating.

I can give you an example of myself. I have been a data scientist for 10+ years while I love data finding patterns telling a story. I’ve never enjoyed coding so much. I can do it very well, but enjoy it? No.

AI is basically my coding partner while I actually code and see what is happening. It also tells me if something goes wrong. I don’t have to break my head. Or waste hours fixing that.

I find this very useful. Yes I also know how much effort it takes to build anything because I need to build it still, somebody might be assisting me, but I am the brains.

OK, I had not really noticed this but now when you say this, I see a pattern yes think I do see more spams in my inbox lately and I thought maybe it’s me giving out my email everywhere.

New comment by punyaatloomavi in "Ask HN: Will low quality AI customer support be the new normal?"

punyaatloomavi — Wed, 13 May 2026 16:01:04 +0000

I think it will be, but only for sometime. As the AI improves, the process also will improve and adapt overtime. And hopefully support will be much more smarter and easier and not low quality..
