About

I'm Yash Gadodia. I build things that run real businesses, and right now that is four things.

Volty, at Voltade. Volty is an AI helpdesk: one inbox for WhatsApp, web chat and email, with an AI agent that replies to customers and takes actions in the tools they already use. Carl and Yiyuan built most of the platform. My part is the field. I take client deployments from the first call to the day the agent answers their customers: discovery, scoping the work order, building the deployment on the platform, clearing procurement, going live, and building whatever those deployments turn out to need. That includes enterprise clients like a national retailer, where it sorts and routes about 1,450 supplier emails a week, and a food manufacturer, where customers WhatsApp a receipt photo and get rewards points. About 40 businesses are live on Volty now, and the inbox went from about 2,000 customer messages a week in August to about 35,000 in October. Before Volty I worked on Envoy, our WhatsApp AI CRM, and took 20+ proof-of-concepts to paying deployment, most of them solo.

Catchline. An iOS app for weightlifters, live on the App Store since 18 October 2026. Film a side-on rep and it tells you the one thing to fix in your snatch, clean or jerk, and why. Pose estimation and bar tracking find the fault, and rules written by coaches pick the cue, not a chatbot. I built it solo. It started life as Parallax, a couples app that nobody used, including me.

Ragnarok. A gym operating system that started because our CrossFit gym, Ragtag, needed one. Seven weeks from first commit to the whole gym on it. Today Ragtag's 500+ members log over 1,000 workouts a week on it, and coaches programme and brief classes from it every day. Dani owns what members touch (the log sheet, the number pad, the day strip); I own the platform underneath (multi-tenancy, MindBody and Telegram, the WodUp history import, monitoring, deploys). It is built for more than one gym. A second one has not signed yet.

The Bon Pet, which I co-founded in 2023. Fresh, gently cooked food for cats and dogs, sold online in Singapore. My co-founder Nicolas runs operations; I run marketing and the automation behind it: 43 n8n workflows for WhatsApp lifecycle and win-back messages, the email programme, our own Reels made with an AI coding agent, and the internal tools (an ops CLI, subscriber KPIs, a customer service dashboard). Customers rate it 4.9/5 from 381+ reviews.

Before all this I was an engineer for five years: platform systems at Ninja Van (notification infra at 100M+ events a day, voice calling, Ninja Easy) and an NLP/RAG platform at Synthesis Partners for Fortune 500 clients. I co-founded AfterClass at university, and it is still running.

I also build for myself. I run seven agents on a Mac Mini in my living room and maintain claude-init, an open-source CLI that makes any repo AI-native in one command.

#How I build

I write nearly all my code with Claude Code now: this site, client work and my personal agents. The usage dashboard shows what that looks like day to day. My agents break first, usually through wrong tool calls, quiet cost blowouts or confident answers to the wrong question, and most of what I know comes from cleaning those up. I built WIMAUT after an OpenClaw cron job quietly burned $300 because nobody was watching. The worst failures are in the failure museum, and how I evaluate agents is the longer version.

#Now

November 2026. Most days I'm on Volty client go-lives. Evenings and weekends go to Catchline, Ragnarok and The Bon Pet's marketing. Everything I run, including the personal agents, is on Projects.

I also write about things that aren't work on Writing.

#Elsewhere on the site

  • Projects: Volty, Catchline, Ragnarok, The Bon Pet, and the agents and tools I run every day.
  • Stack: the hardware, software, and agent infrastructure I run daily.
