My Projects

Samla Blocks distracting apps and harmful content on iPhone, plus a focus club on the web. My own product. AI Garage grantee — 150K SAR ChatSpeed WhatsApp omnichannel assistant with a RAG system. 1st place — Tawasulthon Data Box AI studio building agents, RAG systems, and automation for startups & businesses. Founder
AI Content Canvas AI content creation & management platform.

In progress: Builder Academy — interactive engineering learning platform for AI builders.

Case Study: Samla

Problem. People who want to cut distracting and harmful content can undo a normal blocker in a moment of weakness. In Saudi Arabia, 48.6% of internet users spend 7+ hours a day online (Saudi Internet Report 2024, CST).

Product bet. A block has to hold when willpower does not. So commitment is the core feature: a Hard Mode that cannot be stopped while active, an accountability partner, and an always-free filter for harmful content that takes a 360-day wait to turn off.

Scope decisions. Arabic-first with full right-to-left support, prayer-time blocking for the local market, and everything on the device: no servers and no required account, so trust is built into the product.

What shipped. The Samla Club web app has been live since September 2026. The iPhone app, built on SwiftUI and Apple Screen Time, is coming soon. The project started as NoNet.app and won a 150K SAR AI Garage Accelerator grant.

How I Work

Validate before building.

I use the fastest experiments to validate ideas, gain traction, and reduce risk — with a Lean Startup mindset.

Lean Validation Framework

How I decide what to build

  1. Problem
  2. Hypothesis
  3. Fastest Experiment
  4. Validated Learning
  5. Traction
  6. Prototype (if needed)
  7. MVP (if needed)
  8. Public Launch
  9. Measure
  10. Iterate
  11. Scale

MVP is not the first step — and not always required.

AI Systems Architecture

How I build it

  1. Prompt
  2. Context
  3. Knowledge
  4. Tools
  5. Memory
  6. Reasoning
  7. Agents
  8. Workflows
  9. Goals
  10. Loops
  11. Harnesses
  12. Evals

Prompts are only one layer of a production AI system.
