Each week, we pick 00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:09.019 one problem, build a simple workflow or tool, 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:11.339 and talk through the decisions about what to 00:00:11.339 --> 00:00:13.740 automate, how to check quality, and how to make 00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:17.420 it reliable. If you're a builder, creator, or 00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:19.800 just AI curious, you'll leave with the steps 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.260 that you can copy tonight. Hit follow and start 00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:25.280 with the Starter Pack episodes in the show notes. 00:00:35.630 --> 00:00:37.789 Hey everyone, welcome back to the Data and AI 00:00:37.789 --> 00:00:40.469 with Mukundan show. Today, we'll be talking about 00:00:40.469 --> 00:00:43.549 how you can use AI to create your own elevator 00:00:43.549 --> 00:00:48.310 pitch. When you're in an elevator, for example, 00:00:48.310 --> 00:00:50.049 if someone asks you to tell you about yourself, 00:00:50.369 --> 00:00:53.770 give me like a 30 second overview about yourself. 00:00:53.850 --> 00:00:56.590 That's what an elevator pitch is, if you're not 00:00:56.590 --> 00:00:59.710 familiar with it, right? Have you ever had that 00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:04.189 moment where someone really asks you tell me 00:01:04.189 --> 00:01:06.730 about yourself and your mind starts to blank 00:01:06.730 --> 00:01:10.609 immediately let's say you're you know you're 00:01:10.609 --> 00:01:14.170 in an interview right interview with maybe the 00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:18.189 hiring manager and you prepare for this question 00:01:18.189 --> 00:01:21.189 like hundreds of times over but on the day of 00:01:21.189 --> 00:01:23.629 let's say you are maybe in the middle of your 00:01:23.629 --> 00:01:27.989 work and you get switched on to this interview 00:01:27.989 --> 00:01:29.950 so you had this interview in the middle of your 00:01:29.950 --> 00:01:33.030 work day right and then you had to do some context 00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:35.349 switching and suddenly if someone asks you i 00:01:35.349 --> 00:01:38.310 can't tell me tell me about yourself and you're 00:01:38.310 --> 00:01:40.989 just wondering what was i doing before this oh 00:01:40.989 --> 00:01:43.310 sorry what did i learn when it's so it's so hard 00:01:43.310 --> 00:01:45.810 to context switch from what i was doing before 00:01:45.810 --> 00:01:48.370 man i just got over like a really tough meeting 00:01:48.370 --> 00:01:51.349 how do i get out of that right so how do i get 00:01:51.349 --> 00:01:54.349 on get out of that and focus on this so there's 00:01:54.349 --> 00:01:56.450 there's those things right so tell me about yourself 00:01:56.450 --> 00:02:01.319 suddenly you can feel like a world the world 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:02.980 is like on your shoulders that's what it feels 00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:05.219 like at that moment well at least to me right 00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:09.419 and your mind instantly blanks so you can have 00:02:09.419 --> 00:02:11.919 so much so much preparation before the interview 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.639 you could be preparing for three to four weeks 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.159 not just for this interview i mean you don't 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.099 get three to four weeks for an interview so not 00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:23.319 just interviews it could be let's say an important 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.949 presentation um that you're walking into But 00:02:27.949 --> 00:02:30.270 the audience doesn't know you in this presentation, 00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:33.590 right? And you're probably meeting them for the 00:02:33.590 --> 00:02:36.189 first time. So that kind of stuff. Or it could 00:02:36.189 --> 00:02:40.310 be while you are doing like an in -person interview, 00:02:40.449 --> 00:02:45.830 you are waiting in the lobby area and you meet 00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:48.930 somebody in the office who you might end up interviewing 00:02:48.930 --> 00:02:54.650 with later. This could be as part of your final 00:02:54.650 --> 00:02:57.759 round interviews, right? you meet end up meeting 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.580 the whole team usually during this round so you 00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:13.159 end up seeing them in the lobby area and you 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.120 are trying to replay every answer every possible 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.719 answer in your mind like what what is the the 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:24.000 best way to say this right how how do you How 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.319 do you basically answer this in a way so that 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.120 like your career still advances and you are able 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.699 to convince the interviewer or anybody whom you 00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:36.620 meet why you should be a great fit for the role, 00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:39.460 why you should be delivering this presentation 00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:43.719 in that important presentation and why you matter. 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.860 And if you give like some vague answer or some 00:03:49.860 --> 00:03:53.729 off topic answer, here's what happens. People 00:03:53.729 --> 00:03:57.289 don't see the real you. Giving a generic answer 00:03:57.289 --> 00:04:04.530 doesn't really cut it. So this was during a recent 00:04:04.530 --> 00:04:08.150 panel interview I had. So what happened there 00:04:08.150 --> 00:04:11.889 was it was one of the latest stages of the interviews 00:04:11.889 --> 00:04:17.250 and I was asked to present on my most important 00:04:17.250 --> 00:04:21.389 project I've worked on in my career to this audience. 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:25.759 But on this occasion, I was asked to deliver 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:32.519 a presentation to this panel talking about this 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.699 project. And one of the first questions before 00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:39.420 I even get into the presentation was, tell me 00:04:39.420 --> 00:04:46.019 about yourself, right? That was one where I felt 00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:49.980 like I really stumbled that one. That was something 00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:54.139 that I was thinking about. so i guess it was 00:04:54.139 --> 00:04:57.040 a lack of preparation on my end right but and 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.500 i eventually i didn't get the job since i'm talking 00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:02.000 about it in a negative sense but yeah obviously 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.360 didn't get the job but what i've learned from 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.819 that is how i can make myself better what i can 00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:15.439 do to make myself better right so that was one 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.819 case and then there was another one where i was 00:05:20.389 --> 00:05:24.550 part of like a networking event right and and 00:05:24.550 --> 00:05:29.689 then the people who were at this networking event 00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:32.009 i guess at this point i would say people who 00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:36.529 mattered at this event were very very smart and 00:05:36.529 --> 00:05:38.250 like you know they would come up to you and they 00:05:38.250 --> 00:05:40.529 would talk to you and they'd ask you hey so tell 00:05:40.529 --> 00:05:44.850 me about yourself and i'd like ramble on say 00:05:44.850 --> 00:05:46.410 two or three things and then like completely 00:05:46.410 --> 00:05:50.560 go off topic or even those two two two three 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.360 things which i did say they weren't like super 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.019 memorable right sure like i mean i'm a nice guy 00:05:58.019 --> 00:06:01.339 so not like saying i i'm not saying that i made 00:06:01.339 --> 00:06:04.779 somebody uncomfortable it's just i don't think 00:06:04.779 --> 00:06:08.100 i made an impression right yeah so the you know 00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:10.000 they look for an opening after like at some point 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.579 and then they did uh leave so it wasn't wasn't 00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:17.980 great right So that was, you know, I mean, that 00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:20.019 obviously I was lost opportunity because I don't 00:06:20.019 --> 00:06:22.779 think I was able to connect to a level where 00:06:22.779 --> 00:06:26.220 maybe I got the business card, but it didn't 00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:29.000 really mean to anything. Tried reaching out after 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.660 asking for, you know, any openings in the company. 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.639 And if there were any openings, just wanted to 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.000 try to see if I could reach out to them. But 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.000 there was nothing that they could do. Right. 00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:42.399 And really hear back anything from them. So that 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:49.240 was a missed opportunity as well. so and another 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.360 one which was like there was a lot of tech issues 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.519 when i was on my zoom call the other day i was 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.339 a lot of having a lot of internet connectivity 00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:02.759 issues specifically my wi -fi was not working 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.000 the way i wanted it to so yeah and then i was 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.959 trying to like convey myself and it's just something 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.600 that did not work in my favor neither in my phone 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.800 also right so i guess i was just in a bad internet 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.139 area because a i was not in my home office where 00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:21.680 i normally am and i was just maybe i think it 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.879 was a cousin's uh place at the time so it wasn't 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:31.379 um it was very spotty internet right but that 00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:34.720 being said like so that kind of tech issues threw 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.300 me off as well and it was it was a bit difficult 00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:42.399 to come out of it and just like focus on the 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.560 actual interview questions so eventually we did 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.079 end up rescheduling that interview but i felt 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.660 like yeah i mean it's just something i wish could 00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:54.000 have gone better so i did feel so bad i think 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.600 the next round did kind of okay um still can 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.100 get through so yeah that was again a missed opportunity 00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:04.199 also so these were like some cases where i felt 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.860 like i was asked to speak about myself like in 00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:12.290 30 seconds or you know roughly that And I wasn't 00:08:12.290 --> 00:08:16.050 able to. So it was a lot of self -doubt, self 00:08:16.050 --> 00:08:18.189 -criticism started creeping in during this time. 00:08:19.490 --> 00:08:24.029 And a lot of nagging, which I felt like I had 00:08:24.029 --> 00:08:27.990 the skills, but I'm not able to communicate what 00:08:27.990 --> 00:08:37.230 I did. So this was what was happening. So I wanted 00:08:37.230 --> 00:08:39.570 to do something about this. well obviously like 00:08:39.570 --> 00:08:41.970 you know this is holding you back and one day 00:08:41.970 --> 00:08:48.190 i just decided well what if and this is i mean 00:08:48.190 --> 00:08:50.149 this is not even at a time where i'm like interviewing 00:08:50.149 --> 00:08:54.289 this is just something whenever you know a time 00:08:54.289 --> 00:08:58.750 arises but i have to do this and i'm thinking 00:08:58.750 --> 00:09:04.710 well um since i'm building a lot of ai apps what 00:09:04.710 --> 00:09:11.080 if i can build one to pitch myself in in in an 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.200 elevator like I have an elevator pitch ready 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.019 for me so that was an idea that I was thinking 00:09:17.019 --> 00:09:23.659 about and I feel like it could be done made so 00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:28.019 many apps before why not this why not take myself 00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:33.740 to the next level so many rejection emails financial 00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:37.889 pressures and the flash of hope you get after 00:09:37.889 --> 00:09:40.370 an interview is done like oh you know what i'm 00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:41.929 still in with a chance because i didn't get a 00:09:41.929 --> 00:09:44.070 rejection well i just gave the interview so i'm 00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:46.730 not gonna get the rejection right the next second 00:09:46.730 --> 00:09:50.710 but i mean you know it'll be coming soon if i 00:09:50.710 --> 00:09:53.970 don't speak about myself the way i'm supposed 00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:56.509 to um so that's why i wanted to do something 00:09:56.509 --> 00:10:04.629 about this and um just relieve my stress right 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:09.519 had a lot of doubts in this time as you can figure 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.480 out by the conversation i'm having so far and 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:17.659 what i wanted to see was like how do i make it 00:10:17.659 --> 00:10:20.879 past this i just wanted to get past the what 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:25.399 if it fails voice and felt like doing this kind 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:30.879 of ai for an elevator pitch that should be the 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:38.120 next step here so Here's what I did. I tried 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:43.200 to think, what can I do? What can I do to relieve 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:56.580 myself of the stress? So, a few weeks ago, I 00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:59.559 just decided, well, let me think through. So, 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.919 just keep in mind at this time, I'm not looking 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.669 for jobs, but it's something that... if i was 00:11:04.669 --> 00:11:06.490 looking then obviously that ideas come to me 00:11:06.490 --> 00:11:10.809 but like if you're not looking actively it does 00:11:10.809 --> 00:11:13.070 take a while to come up with it so anyway but 00:11:13.070 --> 00:11:15.429 i still came up with it after maybe spending 00:11:15.429 --> 00:11:19.490 a week or so on it when the spent a lot of time 00:11:19.490 --> 00:11:24.889 coding and and eventually you had to see what 00:11:24.889 --> 00:11:29.289 the prompt was that made sense right and when 00:11:29.289 --> 00:11:31.750 others other prompts did not like what a prompt 00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:37.200 does not and coding is stuff where like but these 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.720 days with ai it's definitely easier but you still 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.159 have to think through what what exact solution 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.220 you want what kind of problem you want to solve 00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:48.279 how you want the code to look like how you want 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.820 everything to look like so that kind of thing 00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:55.240 you still need to train ai obviously and finally 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:59.220 just you know build this app right and it was 00:11:59.220 --> 00:12:02.610 a cool python based app i use python streamlit 00:12:02.610 --> 00:12:06.929 python and streamlit which is like a python based 00:12:06.929 --> 00:12:10.309 front -end library which helps you to write very 00:12:10.309 --> 00:12:14.409 easy code to display your code on the front end 00:12:14.409 --> 00:12:16.529 right like so let's say you build an app everything 00:12:16.529 --> 00:12:19.370 that you see on the front end would be based 00:12:19.370 --> 00:12:21.429 on streamlit and not like some javascript or 00:12:21.429 --> 00:12:25.169 anything this is streamlit is so easy um i don't 00:12:25.169 --> 00:12:26.610 know what's being used in the back end maybe 00:12:26.610 --> 00:12:29.539 it's javascript being used in the back end But 00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:33.659 Streamlit is so easy to use. Because I personally 00:12:33.659 --> 00:12:35.840 don't know coding, so Streamlit helps in that 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.259 aspect. And if you've heard my other episodes 00:12:38.259 --> 00:12:40.440 so far, you've probably noticed that I've been 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:44.620 using Streamlit a lot. And I did in this example 00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:49.559 as well. So when I built this app, it was again 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.320 a simple app, but the prompt was what mattered 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:57.200 here. here is what i tried with the app and i 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.159 asked a couple of my friends to give me their 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.820 opinion like what kind of questions should i 00:13:01.820 --> 00:13:04.720 should try with what kind of ai pitches would 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:08.460 they like to see and um they gave me some ideas 00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:10.779 but like i think eventually just went with the 00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:13.919 ones i asked sad jpt i mean the app itself which 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.980 uses ai on the back end i asked that ai itself 00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:21.659 to give me three prompts right like i'm just 00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:25.350 asking got some ideas from my friends one of 00:13:25.350 --> 00:13:28.090 us was like a marketing analyst one was seeking 00:13:28.090 --> 00:13:31.070 a transition to product management and one was 00:13:31.070 --> 00:13:37.450 like a founder of an edtech startup back home 00:13:37.450 --> 00:13:40.590 so there's like three different cases which i 00:13:40.590 --> 00:13:45.269 saw i was asking the the ai itself right keeps 00:13:45.269 --> 00:13:50.409 saying chat gpt but technically means ai asking 00:13:50.409 --> 00:13:52.370 some friends for ideas and eventually I asked 00:13:52.370 --> 00:13:56.549 a GPT or whatever this AI for ideas the AI gave 00:13:56.549 --> 00:13:59.769 me some good ideas so one was it said recent 00:13:59.769 --> 00:14:03.629 grad seeking a marketing analyst role and here's 00:14:03.629 --> 00:14:08.289 what it said it said hi I'm Priya a marketing 00:14:08.289 --> 00:14:11.250 analytics grad with hands -on experience in social 00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:14.929 media campaigns in my internship at company X 00:14:14.929 --> 00:14:18.970 I built a dashboard that increase ads spend efficiency 00:14:18.970 --> 00:14:22.009 by 22 percent passionate about data -driven storytelling 00:14:22.009 --> 00:14:24.269 and want to have mission -driven brands like 00:14:24.269 --> 00:14:29.490 yours reach gen z audiences my goal is to join 00:14:29.490 --> 00:14:32.289 your marketing team and translate data into actionable 00:14:32.289 --> 00:14:35.529 insights that grow your community let's connect 00:14:35.529 --> 00:14:38.230 to explore how i can contribute so now you can 00:14:38.230 --> 00:14:40.590 see that was one example there right so it gave 00:14:40.590 --> 00:14:43.250 an example of how priya who's a marketing analytics 00:14:43.250 --> 00:14:48.990 graduate can talk to a potential future hiring 00:14:48.990 --> 00:14:51.370 manager or any hiring manager for that matter 00:14:51.370 --> 00:14:53.649 right how she can pitch herself in interviews 00:14:53.649 --> 00:14:57.710 so gives that internship experience what kind 00:14:57.710 --> 00:15:00.269 of impact she made in that internship what her 00:15:00.269 --> 00:15:03.350 passion is and why she wants to join this company 00:15:03.350 --> 00:15:09.149 right so that kind of stuff in this first example 00:15:09.149 --> 00:15:13.649 and then another example it spit out was a mid 00:15:13.649 --> 00:15:16.769 -career software engineer transitioning to product 00:15:16.769 --> 00:15:20.350 management so it said hi i'm alex a senior software 00:15:20.350 --> 00:15:23.830 engineer who has spent eight years building scalable 00:15:23.830 --> 00:15:26.590 sas platforms and over the last year i led a 00:15:26.590 --> 00:15:29.330 cross -functioning team cross -functional team 00:15:29.330 --> 00:15:32.769 to launch a features pipeline that boosted revenue 00:15:32.769 --> 00:15:36.570 by 15 after interviewing users and collaborating 00:15:36.570 --> 00:15:39.870 with designers i fell in love with product strategy 00:15:39.870 --> 00:15:44.029 i'm now pursuing a product manager role where 00:15:44.029 --> 00:15:46.529 i can blend my technical expertise with user 00:15:46.529 --> 00:15:49.230 empathy to deliver products that delight customers 00:15:49.230 --> 00:15:52.690 and i'd love to discuss how my engineering background 00:15:52.690 --> 00:15:56.190 can help bridge tech and business at your company 00:15:56.190 --> 00:15:59.570 so that was another example and the third one 00:15:59.570 --> 00:16:04.210 is a founder pitching and a tech startup so this 00:16:04.210 --> 00:16:08.990 was hi my name is um sam and i'm the founder 00:16:08.990 --> 00:16:14.850 of you know company whatever abc and an ai powered 00:16:14.850 --> 00:16:18.549 platform that powers personalized study plans 00:16:18.549 --> 00:16:21.710 for college students while tutoring underserved 00:16:21.710 --> 00:16:24.110 students i saw how one size fits all courses 00:16:24.110 --> 00:16:27.389 leave learners behind our beta users improve 00:16:27.389 --> 00:16:30.370 their grades by 30 percent with a raptor system 00:16:30.370 --> 00:16:34.789 i'm raising seed funding to scale hire more engineers 00:16:34.789 --> 00:16:37.730 and partner with universities together we can 00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:44.009 democratize I mean, this is raising seed funding 00:16:44.009 --> 00:16:47.649 to scale some company. Again, it's like a made 00:16:47.649 --> 00:16:49.850 -up company. Hire more engineers and partner 00:16:49.850 --> 00:16:51.450 with universities. So this is the stuff that 00:16:51.450 --> 00:16:56.269 AI came up with. And it said, like, also together 00:16:56.269 --> 00:17:00.830 we can democratize education and close achievement 00:17:00.830 --> 00:17:05.009 gaps. So three different examples it gave here. 00:17:05.990 --> 00:17:08.609 But it's very interesting, right? How these different 00:17:08.609 --> 00:17:11.650 tones... for these different kinds of people 00:17:11.650 --> 00:17:19.710 would help them progress in their careers and 00:17:19.710 --> 00:17:23.109 it's a bit different than when you're giving 00:17:23.109 --> 00:17:26.009 an interview because this is like you know these 00:17:26.009 --> 00:17:28.730 are people at your company so you don't need 00:17:28.730 --> 00:17:32.190 to give them one um just keep it very high level 00:17:32.190 --> 00:17:34.569 it's not like you have to tell them like you 00:17:34.569 --> 00:17:38.170 know you worked on sequel a lot even though that's 00:17:38.170 --> 00:17:41.940 something i do a lot so Yeah, this was an interesting 00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:44.740 experience, but I asked AI to give me the presentation 00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:48.759 and what it came up with was very interesting. 00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:53.859 It just said, Hi, I'm Mukundan.
