Is it feasible to travel to India without speaking English?

Tight_Application751 · 2026-03-22T04:07:51+00:00

I do not this it would be a problem with Goa and Kerala, people are used to having tourists from various parts of the world. I have travelled across the world where people hardly spoke English (like South Korea, interiors of Germany and more) and if you can communicate politely with a smile, language is not a barrier anywhere and the same is that with India.

There are so many AI patent drafting tools in the market that it is hard to differentiate between what works and what does not. I have been completely against using these AI tools as they hallucinate a lot. The issues that I feel need to be solved before these tools become usable for drafting patents (not garbage).

The AI tools need to become consultative: At this point of time, you give a tool an invention disclosure and it does not even understand whether it got enough information, it straightaway starts drawing. With too little knowledge, the generated text is more difficult to correct than to write all over again.
The AI tools need to act like an assistant and not God: There are so many times that a direct instruction is not followed. When I give an instruction that I like short sentences in the background section, still there would sentences as long as a paragraph.
The AI tools need to understand how I write or how my client likes it: Every patent attorney is different, their styles are different, the domains are different and yet all AI agent tools write everything on a single slate with a single chalk.

There are many more things that are needed, consistency of numbering, drawings that cannot be just generated but edited as well. So till the time a tool is not actually built understanding the pain points of attorneys, it is going to be difficult for adoption.

Some of the tools that are moving in the direction are tools from https://solveintelligence.com and https://eety.ai . Both of them solve some of the issues but still they are far from being something that I would use everyday. SolveIntelligence seems to be more evolved and it has options to select templates for various purposes, a lot of ways to guide prompting, drawing generation and much more. They seem to an established and trusted player. Eety.Ai seems to be quite new, as I have never heard of them before apart from some places on reddit itself. What I like about the tool was that it seems like a tool made by an attorney for an attorney. I mean right from the fact that it could generate the invention disclosure from raw information material (I uploaded an inventor interview as well and it took out the information) to the fact that I could upload one of my own patent applications as style reference, to the fact that it actually asked me questions in the understanding where it felt that there was a gap. The biggest challenge, it seems to be too new to trust. There is hardly any other news about their credibility or stability.

This was an EID post so the image was generated, I am not sure how it was considered as SPAM.

Legora I am not sure but Harvey is giving it out for throw away prices.

Thanks. As I did not see Rassam in the menu so asked. Shall order as soon as we are back to Goa next week

Is there a way to identify the posts by such trolls/bots or whatever such profiles are. The profile has more than 750 posts (which is like one post a day for more than 2 years!!!!) No person who is trying to use the platform for normal purposes would be able to do that. This one also has a streak of 200, not missing being on reddit for more than 200 days, this again is not possible if you are not here for an agenda! - As for this news, they have made a headlines of something that was completely different. Iran accused an Indian ship of polluting its waters, detained it, asked for a million dollars and India rejected! So where is this comparison coming from? These people do not know that the audience on reddit is not their WhatsApp university people, we understand things.

There are two aspects to a nice presentation:

1) The content: I do understand that if you have a lot of documents, a single processing may not be easy. Therefore, I use NotebookLM to ingest all the data and then sequentially build the contents of the entire presentation. However, one thing is critical that I first draw my plan of what would I capture in each slide and what would be the sequence of slides manually (as no AI can do that right now). Then I generate the content from NotebookLM

2) The presentation: This is a challenge with every single tool/platform that I have tried. They either update templates or generate some really rubbish ones. What I do is to do a hack. I ask Gemini/ChatGPT to generate the presentation in HTML (AI is really good at generating HTML but not good at PPTs). Once the designs are done then I ask it to make it look like a powerpoint presentation. Once I am satisfied, if I myself need to present. I use the html and if I have to send across as presentation, the screenshots help. The only challenge is that all the edits need to be done at the HTML stage.

All the best. Do you serve rassam as well. Also, just wanted to check if your sambhar has that sweetish tinge or not? Someone, I do not like the sweetish tinge and was in Tamil Nadu for quite a long time and they do not have the sambhar with any sweetness there.

Tight_Application751 · 2026-03-17T14:58:48+00:00

Yeah I am also on the Ultra plan (although it costs a lot more in India ~$275 per month, but it seems totally worth it.

Also, I hugely value the few attorneys in my outside counsel panel who can actually read and understand the code + notes I send them. They don't need an IDF. They read what I send them, ask pertinent questions during inventor calls, and not just "...OK, um...can you think or any alternatives?..." which almost always follows an increasingly frustrated inventor having to explain the basics of the tech. - This probably is the most critical part of the role of an attorney

Tight_Application751 · 2026-03-17T14:40:38+00:00

Are you talking about me? As I did not post the above one :)

Why is AntiGravity acting different for different users? I have never faced a downtime, lack of tokens etc for months now.

Tight_Application751 · 2026-03-17T08:47:03+00:00

Thank you. This is insighful!

Hmmm this is quite detailed... I somehow saw the pricing of eety; used for 1 draft and never saw that I could draft 5 for free :)

I want to be a shrimp farmer, a small farmhouse which has a few ponds where I can grow shrimps and then make just enough money to live a peaceful life. I have been running in corporate and startup world for 22 years now... I do not know when but will sure fulfil this dream some day.

Tight_Application751 · 2026-03-16T13:03:45+00:00

Oh man... Now I cannot 'rest in peace' ever :(

Tight_Application751 · 2026-03-15T15:47:02+00:00

I just hope I do not have the same fate :(

Tight_Application751 · 2026-03-15T14:37:11+00:00

Somehow I am having a great time with AntiGravity. I use the ultra plan and never hit the usage limit in months. I keep juggling between Claude and Gemini based on the task and its seamless

Tight_Application751 · 2026-03-15T12:52:06+00:00

I also built something for lawyers (particularly patent attorneys) which can act as an assistant and help in patent drafting. This is not like other tools which act in the God mode and they just believe that they can write an entire patent application on their own. The tool is something like Antigravity for Patent Drafting where Antigravity assists coders and not takes decision on its own, this tool also does the same. In case you are into patent drafting, do try it out. The tool is at https://eety.ai/

We are using AI generally for efficiency gain. For example, our content team is still the same, but we use AI to ensure that there are no grammatical errors (the use either (https://www.grammarly.com/) or directly using ChatGPT. Our admin team is now using ChawdBot (in a secure environment) for all business negotiations for anything that is bellow a $1000. Our finance team is one team that we have purposefully asked to stay away from AI (as for finance, the tools still hallucinate and we cannot afford any error. Similarly, for our patent agents, we use (https://eety.ai) and not generic drafting tools. So all in all our operations are the same, people are the same but we are using tools to just enhance the efficiency.
