About Yash Raj

I\'m Yash Raj — founder and software engineer building AuraText, a Windows-first tool that helps you think before AI responds. Most people use AI to avoid thinking. That\'s the problem. After using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Cursor daily, one thing became obvious: AI quality isn\'t the bottleneck — thinking quality is. Vague inputs produce vague outputs. Every time. AuraText sits inside your workflow and interrupts before you prompt — asking the right questions, structuring your intent, and sending a sharper input to whatever AI tool you\'re already using. No tab switching. No copy-pasting. No breaking focus. Where it stands today: 136+ downloads · 27 active users · 94%+ weekly retention · 13 countries · 8 versions shipped · 4 months · zero paid ads · solo What I\'m focused on: — System-level AI tooling (Windows-first) — Prompt structure, constraints, reproducibility — Multi-model behavior (each model responds differently) — Speed and precision over gimmicks Before AuraText, I built full-stack products on the MERN stack, worked on scalable systems, and did a Computer Vision research internship (YOLOv9, 1M+ images/day). That background shapes how I think about performance and architecture. What I value: Ownership. Clarity. Craft. Honest feedback over empty praise. Building in public. If you care about thinking better with AI — let\'s connect.
