Ali Arain
Self-taught founder from Pakistan. I find problems worth solving and build whatever it takes to solve them — web apps, AI systems, native Mac apps, infrastructure, tools. No shortcuts, no waiting. I run raptrX and I ship.
For founders & hiring managers
- Ships end-to-end: product sense, AI systems, web, and native when it matters.
- Comfortable owning 0 → 1 — prototypes, launch, iteration — without a large team.
- Deep on AI memory (Ground), hiring workflows (SLCT, Zepyoc), and marketplaces (Chalogee).
Work
Work is live products and platforms I ship.·All builds is the full list including experiments.·Packages are open-source libraries and dev tools.
AI-powered ATS — post a job, screen everyone, swipe the shortlist
Replace resume triage with scored shortlists your team can review in minutes.
Voice-first recruiting — audio interviews, not PDF theatre
Candidates answer on their own time; you hear how they think, not how they format.
Memory infrastructure for AI — cited context or honest refusal
Gives models real memory so answers cite sources or decline instead of guessing.
Agent-first hosting — static sites live in seconds, zero Git friction
Publish marketing and landing pages without wrestling Git or DevOps.
Open-source “Ask AI” toolkit — deep-link to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, no API keys
Drop an “Ask AI” action into any product with one npm package.
Tourism marketplace — travellers meet real local experiences
Connects travellers with vetted hosts instead of generic tour bundles.
Mac-native Markdown writing — fast, local, AI when you want it
A calm writing app for long-form work, with optional AI on your machine.
Invisible teleprompter in the MacBook notch — eye contact on camera
Read your script while the camera sees your eyes, not a scrolling window.
Zen productivity — Pomodoro, ambient sound, breathing, journaling
Lightweight rituals for focus when you are juggling deep work.
Content virality for creators — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram
Helps creators package and test hooks across short-form channels.

Flagship work
Problem, approach, outcome — the three projects I talk about most.
SLCT
- Problem
- Founders drowning in resumes for a single role.
- Approach
- AI reads every application at intake; you swipe a ranked shortlist.
- Outcome
- Hiring leads spend minutes, not weekends, on first-pass screening.
- Role
- Designed, built, and shipped as founder.
Ground
- Problem
- LLMs guess when they lack grounded facts.
- Approach
- A memory layer that returns versioned, cited context — or refuses.
- Outcome
- Fewer confident hallucinations; answers tied to real sources.
- Role
- Product and engineering — memory model and APIs.
Chalogee
- Problem
- Authentic local travel is still locked in chats and word of mouth.
- Approach
- Marketplace matching travellers with vetted hosts and experiences.
- Outcome
- Supply and demand in one place instead of fragmented DMs.
- Role
- End-to-end product and platform work.
