🧠Episode 0: Why I’m Building Something That Thinks


Hi, I’m Prachi.
Over the past few months, I’ve been quietly thinking of an idea, which i was learning through different books. I didn’t come from an AI lab or startup incubator — I came with a deep curiosity about how we think, how systems can learn from us, and how tech could actually mirror back our inner evolution.
And now I’m building it.
A project I’ve named Pranova.
✨ What is Pranova?
Without saying too much just yet — Pranova is a self-evolving, identity-based intelligent system.
It’s not just another AI tool.
It’s something that:
Learns from you
Adapts to how you think and grow
Reflects your patterns back to you, intelligently
Interacts with your states, not just your inputs
will help you to become identity you want to be in a gamified way
It’s the kind of system I wished existed — and now I’m building it from scratch.
The inspiration?
đź§ Neuroscience for how thoughts loop
🌌 Quantum thinking for observer-based design
🤖 AI for reinforcement, adaptation, and feedback
🌀 Philosophy for identity, free will, and self-directed change
🚀 Why This Blog Series?
Because I’m not just building the system — I’m learning everything I need from the ground up.
I’ll document:
My AI/ML learning journey (I’m self-studying everything from transformers to reinforcement learning)
The design process behind Pranova
Weekly thoughts, breakthroughs, and experiments
Tools, books, frameworks, and reflections that fuel the build
This isn’t just a technical journal.
It’s a founder-in-learning log — a raw account of someone building both a system and themselves in parallel.
What You’ll Find
I’ll publish:
🔍 A breakdown of what I learned in AI/ML
🧩 Design choices and concept sketches from Pranova’s architecture
🛠️ Tools, papers, models, and challenges I explored
🌱 Conceptual frameworks I’m playing with (identity, feedback, self-evolution)
đź§ Open reflections (and probably a bit of chaos and overthinking)
đź§ My Promise
This won’t be a perfectly polished tech blog.
It’ll be transparent, grounded, and very real.
And it’ll unfold as I do — one decision, one failure, one loop at a time.
Let’s see what happens when an idea is given a system — and a soul.
🛡️ Note:
I’ll share reflections, lessons, and thought patterns—but the architecture of Pranova remains behind the curtain… for now.
