About

I'm Panagiotis Tzavaras. I build AI products and write about the thinking behind them.

I spend most of my time in the overlap between AI capabilities and real human needs. Not the theoretical kind. The kind where you sit down, build something, and find out what actually works.

What I'm building

○

One

A daily self-reflection app for iOS. One question each morning, guided by AI that learns your context over time. Built with Swift and Google's AI services.

Arriving Soon
◇

Context

A briefing series that filters AI developments down to what matters for business leaders. Short reads, plain language, published regularly.

How I build

One is a native iOS app. I chose to build it alone, end to end: product design, Swift development, backend infrastructure on Firebase, and AI integration through Google's APIs. The constraint is deliberate. Building solo means every decision — from data architecture to prompt design — comes from direct contact with the problem.

I use AI tools heavily in the development process itself. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to move faster while keeping the thinking my own. The approach matters to me: small surface area, privacy by default, no engagement tricks. If the app does not earn its place in someone's morning, it should not be there.

Why this work

Every wellness app I tried felt like it was designed to keep me using it rather than help me think more clearly. One started as a response to that. AI made it possible to build something that adapts to a person without requiring a team of therapists or a massive dataset.

Context came from a related observation. The AI landscape moves fast and the noise-to-signal ratio is terrible. The people who need to make decisions about this technology have the least time to read about it. So I write for them.

Both projects share the same premise: technology should make thinking easier, not replace it.
