Most AI creative tools never look at what they make. The file is valid. Every check passes. And the animation still stops moving two seconds early, or the loop visibly jumps. We built an agent that looks. 🧵

Everyone is generating pixels. Almost no one can generate the formats that actually ship in products: vectors and Lottie motion. Frontier models can barely produce one valid Lottie. A purpose-built model hits ~98%. That gap is why we are building Vanikya into a creative lab with its own models, starting with two we call Veya and Nira.

Most businesses lose 10+ hours/week on creative tasks. Here is what that looks like: • Briefing designers • Waiting for revisions • Hunting for brand assets • Resizing for every platform Vanikya AI eliminates all 4. Here is how 🧵 #AIForBusiness

We celebrate valuations, but the more I speak to founders, the more I'm convinced high valuations are detrimental. Higher valuations are mostly a result of overstating the size of the opportunity. Of course, there are outliers, but they are the exception, not the rule. Getting investors on board is like getting married: setting wrong expectations before the marriage leads to disappointments and conflicts and doesn’t usually end well. It hurts to see businesses that would've otherwise done well struggling because they raised money at unrealistic valuations. Higher valuations force you to spend more, hire more & take random bets. Founders end up losing interest if the assumptions about the total addressable market (TAM) don't materialize, and growing fast enough to justify the valuations isn't possible. Unreasonable TAM assumptions are a larger problem in India because the revenue opportunity other than lending is limited to the top 2 crore Indians (~1.5% of India). And lending is crowded. So yeah, lower valuations & raising only what is required counterintuitively, I think, will help founders focus & increase the odds of building a successful sustainable business.
