🧠 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

  • đź§© 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.
