Who Pratyush is
A founder building a personal AI agent around conversation capture and work context.
What he is building
Thine listens to conversations with consent, combines that context with work tools, and helps users retrieve action items or draft follow-ups.
Why it matters
The product treats conversations as the missing context layer for personal agents, not just another chat interface.
How people use it
The interview describes daily action-item recall, brainstorming, storytelling, fundraising thinking, and interview notes as use cases.
Key facts
Pratyush says he is building a personal agent centered around conversations.
The visible event banner says thine.com and 'Nothing is personal.'
He says the product listens to conversations with consent and combines them with work tools such as Slack and email.
He says the team has been building for about six months and has opened a beta program.

What are you doing?
Hi, I'm Pratyush. I'm building Thine.
Should I? Okay, explain.
What's that?
So Thine is essentially a personal agent centered around conversations.
We listen to all your conversations 24-7 with your consent.
And we use that context along with all your work tools like Slack, email, and so on
to essentially build the most personalized agent that you have ever used.
How have you been doing that?
We have been building this for over the last six months now.
And how much does that charge?
Right now it is free. You can get started for free.
We have opened up our beta program.
You can sign up and we can give access to our beta program using this particular QR code.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.

How are people using Thine today?
Yeah, so basically what most people do is when they are entering their office, they turn on Thine.
Thine listens to all their conversations in their team and, of course, with consent of other colleagues and so on.
And when they wrap up their day, they ask Thine around what were the actionables which they missed across their conversations, Slack, email, and so on.
And using Thine, they can also trigger messages on Slack and email and so on.
So they ask Thine what did they miss and they also trigger messages across them.
They also use it as a brainstorming partner.
So because Thine has all your context around conversations, we have seen people use it for doing product brainstorming,
sometimes even doing brainstorming around storytelling, fundraising, and so on and so forth.
People have also used it for interviews, essentially.
So they actually compare different candidates because Thine has context around the interviews, around the JD of those profiles and so on.
That's probably dangerous because that may be against the law.
Sorry?
That part is dangerous.
Okay.
That might be against the law.
If you use AI to decide, it's likely to dislike them.
Okay.
Okay.
I mean, like, they take it as an input for interviews.
Of course, the final decision still ends up, like, happening.
You can maybe crop it.
You can't.
