Hi, I'm Omkar.
I build AI products and fix AI agents.
My first AI product was Prezo, where I led engineering alongside a team of brilliant product, design and eng folks. It offered users a way to make and edit presentations using AI, reaching more than 500,000 users.
Since then I have been working on a variety of AI agents - voice agents for games, research agents for a workspace, and the harnesses around them.
Most of my work is on maintaining very long threads (context management), getting agents to search the right stuff (agent retrieval) and making agents more reliable (evals, tool structure, guardrails etc).
I have written about my experience building and evaluating agents.
Wanting to understand retrieval better, I recently fine-tuned a 110M encoder on Amazon's shopping query data and it beat an 8B off-the-shelf model on recall. Write-up and code.
What I believe in
Every business will need an external-facing agent just like every business needs a website today.
The quality of your agents will determine the quality of your business.
Most of the value in an agent shows up when it runs a long time, both hours on a single task and many iterations in the same role. Much like a person doing deep work, and getting better at their craft over time.
If your team is wrestling with AI agents or AI products, I am happy to figure out how I can help.
