Shubhankar Kumar Building Sweezy

Building an AI
daily life companion.
for the other 90% of the world.

Less than 10% of the world uses AI. Sweezy is the entrypoint for the other 90%.

01 / The product

Sweezy sits at the sweet spot between an AI assistant and AI Friend.

Sweezy mimics the real world assistant and not an employee. Like Donna to Harvey and Alfred to Batman.

Assistant

The simplest AI assistant that closes the loop. You say a few words and she builds your daily plan. The next day when you show up, she asks about your day and how much you got done. She holds you accountable and marks your progress, not just an endless list of overdue tasks. She also records the conversation about your day as a journal entry without you even realizing it.

Friend

A real friend. IRL you don't always meet people to get something done, you just go out in the evening. That's what Sweezy is. You just show up for 5 minutes every evening. In a few weeks, she will know you more than anyone else in the world. The next time you tell her, you are feeling down, she will tell you whan you need to hear and not what you want.

02 / Why me?

I love solving problems with tech and I have done it before.

Personal problem

I am solving a burning problem I lived myself.

I was in a foreign country, working a stable job, trying to become an entrepreneur, and carrying more context than anyone around me could hold. Friends back in India did not know who I had become. My partner could not understand why the stable path was not enough.

I started taking walks and talking to ChatGPT in voice mode. Talking helped. But ChatGPT forgot, not an agent, agreed too much, and never knew when to push back. I did not need a therapist or an assistant, I needed a sweet spot between the two.

Engineering

I have been building solo, end-to-end.

Six years of professional Software Engineering experience. Built a startup and Studying programming since class 6th.

2024 — presentEsri - leader in GIS.

2021 — 2022Ninjacart - India's hottest agro-tech startup.

2020 — 2021Wipro - well not much to say here.

2020 — 2020Axxela - HFT trading firm.

Education

Masters in Computer Science.

Origin

Most importantly, I know the journey.

I have come from one of the bottom 10% towns in India to one of the top 10% cities in the world. Nobody understand the diversity of the people than I do. I know what they need.
