I’m Mithun John Jacob. I manage AI products and build small software on the side.

I created my first site on a free web hosting provider in late 1998. That’s why you can see the Copyright date starts from 1998 onwards. My site has gone through a lot of ups and downs like a normal human life cycle, and it's also gone under the knife (I meant redesigns) innumerable times, and it will always be evolving daily.

My day job is product management for AI-native features — the work of turning a capable model into something people can trust, predict, and pay for. In the evenings, I build small tools and experiments that usually start as a question I can’t stop thinking about.

I’ve been a product manager, technical architect, and developer. I’ve shipped consumer and enterprise products, and built indie software. I’m interested in how people interact with AI and how to make it more useful. I write here to think out loud. Most essays begin as notes from a project or an unimplemented idea.
