April 06, 2026 Why I Started “No‑BS AI Briefing” (And What You’ll Get Here)
Every day, something big happens in AI. New models, new tools, new hype. And if you’re actually building products or running a team, it’s almost impossible to keep up without wasting hours in noisy feeds. That’s why I’m launching No‑BS AI Briefing.
I’m Vikash Sharma, a founder and tech entrepreneur who spends his time building AI‑powered products and working with teams trying to turn AI buzz into real business value. I’m in the trenches with this stuff every day, and this show is my way of sharing what’s actually useful for builders.
This podcast is for founders, product folks, engineers, and tech leaders who want the signal without the fluff. In each episode, I’ll walk you through a handful of important AI and AGI updates, explain why they matter, and share at least one practical idea you can test in your product, workflow, or company.
