A robot dog and five-minute demos at SPC's Physical AI night
Notes from Physical AI Demo Night at South Park Commons in HSR Layout: hardware teams, five-minute slots, and a quadruped on the stage.
FurnishDesk, month one: 778 impressions, 2 clicks, 1 RFQ
A B2B furniture sourcing desk with two AI agents as its back office: the first 23 days of numbers, and the enquiry nobody saw for six days.
I assumed no scanner covered my MCP server. deepsec ships three matchers for it.
I read deepsec, Strix and Anthropic's defending-code harness. Matchers for agent tool surfaces already exist. What's missing is what makes a finding trustworthy.
I asked the AI pentest startup which model it runs. The answer was open weights.
Greywatch showed its offensive-security pipeline at a Bengaluru meetup. The model turned out to be the cheap part. Their five-stage lifecycle, transcribed.
Six strangers reviewed my startup. Not one said yes, and the reason I invented was wrong.
Nine founders, eight-minute rounds, and a raw feedback sheet two days later. All six responses my table got, and the one row that killed my theory about them.
I asked five coworking spaces in HSR what a desk costs. None of them publish it.
Five coworking spaces in HSR Layout quoted me around ₹6,500 a month for a desk. None publish that number, and the day-pass maths says you aren't buying desk-days.
The share card I never looked at
I shipped an Open Graph card for every post, then resized one to 360px. Two of its three elements were unreadable, and my head tags were missing two properties.
I built one door for my agents to act through. Then I found two ways around it.
Agent OS is 44,000 lines of TypeScript enforcing one rule: every agent side effect goes through one mediated boundary. Then I spent an afternoon proving it leaks.
The signup form is a skill now
Vercel's deploy skill states its goal in plain text, and it isn't deploying your app. How companies use agent skills to sell, and why nobody can prove it works.
I took a laptop to fifteen cafes in HSR Layout. Four of them are actually good.
Fifteen HSR Layout cafes ranked for working on a laptop: wifi, plug points, and whether you can still hear yourself think at 4pm.
Fifty agent startups in one building: notes from Agentic Summit BLR
I walked every booth at Magicball's Agentic Summit in Bangalore and wrote down what each company actually does. Plus the talk that was really a recruiting pitch.
