The labs.

// side builds, sparked by each other

One of the quiet things this group does is inspire each other to build. Not as a project plan. Not as a deliverable. Just — someone has an itch, opens their laptop on a weekend, and ships something small. Then someone else sees it and gets ideas.

This page is where those live.

Disclaimer. Everything on this page is built in personal time, on personal laptops, with personal Claude accounts. No company tools, no company data, no company time. These are people scratching their own itches — the group is just where the spark happens.

Chalo, Let's Eat — "Junior Venky"

A small mobile app for the daily 1pm question: where do we go and eat?

You step out of the office, hit the ground floor from the 4th or 2nd, and instead of standing on the pavement debating Punjabi vs. South vs. that-one-place-near-the-bakery — you open this. Tell it what you're craving, set a walk radius and a budget, hit Find Restaurants. Or hit Surprise Me and let it pick.

Anish calls it Junior Venky — because Venky (with his chef background) is the one we'd normally ask. The app is a junior version of him. If it doesn't know, we still ask Venky.

Look closely at the design and you'll see Anish's hand: the bento-box logo, ramen at the front of the craving prompt, the warm Japanese-diner palette. Anish loves Japan, and he loves ramen — and Junior Venky was never going to look like a generic React template.

Chalo, Let's Eat — the home screen, asking what's on the menu today, with walk radius and budget controls.

The Coffee Table Book — An AI-First Company

WhatsApp group. People drop their memories as voice notes. AI turns them into stories with visuals. A portal lets the group review and choose. A coffee table book layout gets generated. It prints on demand.

For: project teams at milestone moments. Alumni 10/20/30-year gatherings. Companies onboarding new joiners or sending off a retiring senior. Friends groups recollecting old stories. Families capturing a wedding or an 18th birthday. Tour groups closing a trip. Workshop groups bottling significant moments.

The product itself is exciting. The deeper question Rajesh is asking is bigger: can a real business — not a SaaS — be set up end-to-end with AI? Product, tech, marketing, conversion, support — all AI. Only book production keeps a human in the loop (artist + AI). Then print-on-demand handles the rest.

Started as two voice notes on a May afternoon. Became a written brief a few hours later. aila.fun is the working prototype — the thingy that's already automated.
