Now: what Pulkit Aggarwal is focused on

building

  • zendiary: past 25k users. deeper reflection features and ios polish. still the main thing.
  • aro: the finder-aware file agent for macos. agent loop, inspectable commands, rust safety preflight.
  • a supply-chain agent: flags exceptions before they happen. half class project, half obsession.

learning

  • the mba: product, strategy, behavioural economics. how businesses actually work.
  • agents & local models: tool use, planning, running things offline. the best way to understand it is to build it.
  • rust + tauri: picked it up building aro. fast, safe, genuinely fun.

reading & watching

  • the book thief: markus zusak
  • zero to one: peter thiel
  • the bear: kitchen chaos and perfectionism
  • whiplash: a re-watch, every time

thinking about

  • personal brand vs. being real: when does sharing become performing?
  • tools vs. taste: tools get replaced. taste doesn’t. that’s the bet.
  • inspectable agents: the ones people trust will be the ones that show their work.
