Pick a platform, set tone, audience, and goal, hit generate, and watch three caption variants stream in token-by-token. ## Facts - Status: live - Hosted service: on-request - Built: 2025 - Last shipped: 2025-09-15 - Stack: TanStack Start, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, Better Auth, Nebius AI (Qwen3), OpenAI SDK, Vite, Docker, Tailwind CSS - Source: https://github.com/achalbajpai/thecontentmind ## What it does An open-source AI social-media content studio that reached 200+ users. Pick a platform, set tone, audience, and goal, hit generate, and watch three caption variants stream in live, token-by-token. Save the ones you like to a library and "more like this" from there. Three variants stream in parallel but cost a single quota unit per generate action; quotas are computed from actual rows, not a mutable counter. The AI stream filters out the model's reasoning blocks so the first real token stays sub-second. Underwent a full framework cutover from Next.js App Router to TanStack Start in stages: database, then auth, then a framework-agnostic service layer, then the framework swap, staying shippable at every step. Runs fully locally: Postgres in Docker, email/password auth, no cloud accounts required. --- # Experience | Achal Bajpai - Page: https://achal.works/experiences - Markdown: https://achal.works/experiences.md The work history behind this site, most recent first. 6 roles. ## Confidential - Role: Software Engineer - Full Stack (AI) - Type: Contract - Period: Aug, 2026 - Present - Location: Remote, Miami - Current: yes - Tags: TypeScript, Next.js, Cloudflare D1, Cloudflare R2, ClickHouse - Architected and implemented an ownership model across the platform’s object storage, closing a cross-tenant security gap, and shipped a per-workspace Documents library on top of it - Led a major architecture revamp of review editing end to end, changing how it works under the hood and making sure version history holds up across a workflow re-run, reviewed and merged - Introduced self-serve white-label branding across the platform, letting owners update branding information, and centralized report state and rendering into a single system used across the app ## Hyperverge - Role: Software Development Engineer - Type: Internship - Period: Sep, 2025 - Jul, 2026 - Location: Onsite, Bangalore - Tags: TypeScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Playwright, Grafana, Slack Bolt JS - Part of the HyperVerge One platform and Link KYC product teams, building core infrastructure and developer tooling for a platform HyperVerge publishes as having processed 2B+ identity verifications for 500+ enterprises across India and the US.

Email is achalbajpaiw@gmail.com and calls book at https://cal.com/achalbajpai. ## How to call it - Append `.md` to any canonical path for the markdown twin. `/projects/flowagent.md`, `/about.md`. Static files, no JavaScript, no client-side rendering. - Or send `Accept: text/markdown` to the canonical HTML path. Responses come back as `text/markdown; charset=utf-8` with `Vary: Accept`, and quality values are honoured. - `/llms-full.txt` is every document in one response. Prefer one fetch of that over crawling page by page. - For tool calls rather than documents, the MCP server is at `/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, protocol 2026-07-28, no auth). Manifest at `/.well-known/mcp.json`. ## Endpoints - https://achal.works/llms.txt: Index of every document on the site with a one line summary each. - https://achal.works/llms-full.txt: The whole corpus in a single response.
