In a world where AI has made it easier than ever to ship products, the real question is no longer can you build, but what are you actually building, and why does it matter?
Today’s guest, Rohan Verma, is tackling that question head-on as the creator of SurfSense, an open-source, privacy-focused research agent designed for builders who want more than just flashy demos.
In this episode, we go deep into the moment that made SurfSense inevitable, and why Rohan believed he was the right person to build it. We unpack what truly separates real builders from the noise, how constraints shape better products, and how to develop the kind of judgment that tells you what not to build.
Enjoy!
