#129 | 🤖 Weekend AI: Build and Launch in 48 Hours
AI tools in 48 hours - from idea to launch.
Hello curious minds 🧠
I was stuck. Here’s how I am fixing it.
I love building things. It gives me energy.
But when I ask myself: What have I actually shipped for people to use?
The answer is embarrassingly… “not much”.
Yes, I have built plenty. At work. For side projects. But none of it ever made it into the world.
Why? I realised I was chasing perfection. Every time.
“This app needs to do more”
“This isn’t unique enough”
“No one will care unless it has a wow factor”
I fell into the perfection trap. Again and again.
I wanted to fix this so I asked myself: What’s one thing I can do to break this pattern?
The answer: build a habit of launching fast and often.
So what’s been holding me back?
Time. Like many of you, I work a 9–5 with few life commitments. Free time is limited.
The launch process. Payments, logins, stacks… getting an MVP live takes real effort.
Perfectionism. The voice in my head that says “It’s not ready”, leading to constantly delaying the launch until it’s left sitting in my private repo.
Complexity. New topics like GraphRAG and Reinforcement Learning are interesting and takes time to learn before being able to build something off it.
The Fix: Weekend AI 🚀
I am launching a new project: Weekend AI.
Each edition will be a project I build and launch in 48 hours or less. This can be an AI tool for everyday use or it can be a deep technical exploration of current hot topics.
Here’s how it works:
One feature. Or one tech focus. Keep the scope tiny.
48 hours only. No matter what, I launch by Sunday night.
Iterative builds. If it needs more features, that’s a future weekend’s job.
Flexible focus. It can be a useful AI tool or just a fun demo using new techniques.
The goal is simple: Launch fast. Launch often. Learn through shipping.
🔥 With that said, the first upcoming tool launch of Weekend AI:
AI Chrome Tabs

Oh, and fun fact: I am a PhD candidate in AI 👻 I am deeply interested in how AI can help us 10x the way we live, learn, and thrive; so expect me to share some cool AI tools, insights, and research 🤖
🤖 Weekend AI Launch #001: AI Chrome Tabs
Let’s be real.
We all have too many tabs open. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. Most are weeks old. You have forgotten why they are there.
This tool fixes that.
It’s a simple AI tool that groups your open Chrome tabs by topic.
You can let the AI decide what topics make sense. Or, you can give it a few areas like “machine learning”, “taxes”, or “travel” and it will sort your tabs around those. That’s it. Simple, fast, and useful.
This tool launches next week.
I will share more about it in the next newsletter and potentially also share the behind-the-scenes on how I built it.
