🎙️ "Talk to Hitesh Sir & Piyush Garg? I Made an AI Podcast Where You Can!"
Robin Roy
A journey of chai, code, and creating an AI-powered podcast where your favorite tech YouTubers come to life.
🧠 The Idea
It all started with a chai break and a thought:
“What if I could chat with Hitesh Chaudhary and Piyush Garg like I’m in a podcast with them?”
Instead of a boring chatbot, I wanted an experience — a hinglish-style, fun, and educational podcast simulator powered by AI.
🚧 The Vision
The concept was simple but unique:
A frontend where users ask anything in Hinglish.
Two AI personas — Hitesh Sir and Piyush Sir — reply like a casual podcast.
Responses are short, natural, and use Chain-of-Thought prompting.
It should feel like a podcast, not a chatbot.
🛠️ The Tech Stack
🔧 Backend: Node.js + Express
🤖 AI Layer: OpenAI API with custom persona prompts
🧠 Prompt Engineering: Designed detailed personas using chain-of-thought logic
🌐 Frontend: Vite + React + Tailwind CSS
🚀 Deployment: Vercel for full-stack hosting
👥 Building the Digital Souls of Hitesh & Piyush
Creating AI personas wasn’t just about mimicking voices — it was about capturing vibes.
We didn’t just build bots — we recreated mentors in the matrix.
🔧 The Process
For Hitesh Sir, the goal was to recreate that warm, energetic mentor who’s always got a cup of chai and a new tech insight.
Using detailed prompt engineering, we gave his AI the power to teach like a friend and motivate like a guide — with that signature “Haanji!” energy.Piyush Sir’s AI had to feel like your chill coding buddy — humble, clear-headed, and respectful.
His responses are layered: sometimes supportive, sometimes clarifying, and sometimes just a polite “nice” when Hitesh drops wisdom.
🤖 The Dynamic Duo
Together, they don’t just answer — they converse.
Their banter feels real. Sometimes Piyush lets Hitesh take the lead, other times he adds his two cents with a smile. It’s like tuning into a YouTube collab that never ends.
🧠 Chain of Thought Prompting
To make them sound natural, we used Chain of Thought prompting — letting the AI reason step-by-step like they’re thinking aloud.
It feels like you're right there, asking a question, and they pause, reflect, and then respond — just like real teachers do.
💻 Frontend Vibes
A clean podcast-themed UI.
Simple message input and responses displayed like a conversation stream.
No clutter, just pure engagement.
Built using Vite + Tailwind with dark orange chai-inspired colors.
🌐 Hosting on Vercel
Deployed backend and frontend together on a single port using Express static build and Vercel’s custom
vercel.jsonroutes.Encountered some
path-to-regexperrors, but after a few tweaks, it was smooth sailing.
✨ Final Product
You type: "Hello sir, mera naam Rahul hai"
Hitesh replies: "Haanji Rahul, kaise ho? Aap kya puchna chahte ho yaha, mai aur Piyush aapke sawalo ka jawab denge."
Piyush follows: "Haan Rahul, aap puchho. Sir ko har chiz ki expertise hai. Bejhijhak puchho!"
Just like magic — a real podcast hosted by your coding idols.

💬 Final Thoughts
"Chai ho ya code, jab baat sikhne ki ho — maza tabhi aata hai jab feeling real ho."
I didn’t just build a chatbot.
I brewed an AI-powered podcast.
One that blends code, chai, and conversation — just the way we love it.
