Hi everyone! I m Ankit Kumar , and I m on a mission to turn WhatsApp from just a 'chat app' into a full Business OS.

Most tools are just basic wrappers, but I m integrating Gemini 2.5 to handle complex sales queries natively. My goal is to create an ecosystem where even a small team can handle 10k+ queries without hiring an army.

Would love to get some early feedback from the builders here what AI features are actually 'must-haves' for you in 2026?

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!
