Practical, human-first AI. Each week we build small, useful AI tools and workflows—so you can apply them the same day you listen. Data & AI with Mukundan is where real-world problems meet practical AI. You don’t learn AI by collecting tabs—you learn it by shipping small, useful things. I’m Mukundan, an analytics pro, GPT builder, and lifelong learner. Every week we take one problem and build a solution you can actually use: smarter job-search helpers, portfolio reviewers, AI that speeds up analysis, slide/summary assistants, and more. You’ll hear the decisions behind each build—what to automate, how to evaluate quality, how to keep outputs reliable, and how to make it useful today. We keep the language plain, the examples concrete, and the steps realistic whether you’re hands-on or just AI-curious. Recurring themes: LLM applications, prompt design, evaluation, retrieval patterns, analytics workflows, career use-cases, and product thinking for AI. New episodes weekly. Subscribe for the how-to; stay for the shipped thing. 🔗 Connect with Me: Free Email NewsletterWebsite: Data & AI with MukundanGitHub: https://github.com/mukund14Twitter/X: @sankarmukund475LinkedIn: Mukundan SankarYouTube: Subscribe

Takeaways Code2Story Pro turns Python code into engaging blog posts. Traditional documentation methods are often insufficient. Effective communication of code is crucial for collaboration. The tool allows users to select tone and emotion for their writing. Mukund built the tool out of frustration with documentation. The technical setup involves Streamlit and OpenAI's GPT-4. Users can generate blog posts in under 30 seconds. Future updates will include file uploads and image generation. The tool is aimed at helping developers share their work easily. Storytelling in coding can enhance career opportunities.
