What are you building in AI?
Hi HN,
I’ve been building in AI for a few years now, mostly as a solo founder. One thing I’ve consistently found useful is reading and listening to honest accounts from people actually building — not launch posts, but the thinking, trade-offs, and mistakes along the way.
As we move into a new year, I want to spend more time learning from others working at the frontier of AI: researchers, founders, and engineers building real systems.
If you’re working on something interesting:
What problem are you trying to solve?
Why now?
What’s been harder than you expected?
Not looking to promote anything or collect leads — just genuine stories and technical or product insights. I think there’s a lot of quiet, high-quality work happening that doesn’t always get discussed.
Would love to hear what people here are building.
- verdverm 10mo agoI'm working on a custom coding agent / copilot alternative right now. I post a lot to Bluesky about it: https://bsky.app/profile/verdverm.com https://bsky.app/profile/verdverm.com and is exactly the kind of experiential posts you are looking for
- udit_50 9mo agoThis is exciting. Let's talk more about what you are building. Let's talk at researchudit@gmail.com more.

- civancza 9mo agoI am building https://querypanel.io https://querypanel.io. it's a server side ai sdk with zero trust architecture, that abstracts away the complexity of LLM/ AI and provides a simple way to implement text to visualization. I've seen couple of companies that failed on this project in the previous years, but i can also see a couple that reaches 1-5M ARR nowadays and that'd totally fine for me too. Not VC Scale, but for me, with 4-5 ppl 1M would be more than enough. I am looking for PMF right now, like how to improve the product, and what's the hardest, how to reach out to customers, and how to create the sales pipeline.
