About CtrlAltDebrief

AI news for builders. Every weekday.

What we do

Every weekday, we publish a debrief covering the AI stories that matter for people who build. Each edition includes news, technical deep dives, analysis, tools, and quick hits.

We focus on what actually helps you build. New models, product launches, tools worth trying, and industry moves worth knowing about.

Who it is for

Anyone who builds with AI and wants to stay sharp without spending hours scrolling feeds and aggregators.

Kailash Chandrasekaran

I've spent 16 years building products across SaaS, data platforms, and AI, in roles spanning engineering, engineering management, and product. Right now I'm back to building full time, working on AI agents for businesses. Before that: product at Blinq, developer experience at Immutable, the API platform at Nearmap, engineering and product at hipages, a dev agency I co-founded that grew to 80 people, and a founding-engineer stint at Exotel.

I build with AI every day, test new tools and workflows, and run side projects. CtrlAltDebrief is one of them. That hands-on experience is what shapes what I pick for each edition. I'm selecting stories I'd actually want to read myself.
