How Generative AI Helped Me Launch Something Close to My Heart

From struggling to speak during asthma attacks… to launching a podcast, writing 90+ blogs, and reaching thousands, all with AI by my side.

This World Asthma Day, I’m not just raising awareness,
I’m also reflecting on how Generative AI helped me build something I never thought I could.

You see, I live with asthma. A condition that makes it hard to speak for long.
Harder still to record podcasts, create consistent content, or keep up with a startup rhythm.

But I had a vision:
To create a platform that supports people like me, living with asthma in India.
So I turned to AI.

Thanks to text-to-speech tools and AI content assistance, I was able to:
✅ Launch a podcast with 19 episodes using an AI-generated voice.
✅ Write 90+ blogs, even when my health didn’t allow me to talk or work for days.
✅ Reach 70 K+ views across short-form video content.
✅ Build Asthma Friend as a safe, relatable space for the asthma community.

Without advancements in generative AI, Asthma Friend may never have seen the light of day.

So this World Asthma Day, I’m grateful not just for medicine,
but also for technology that gives people like me a louder voice.
Even on days we can’t speak.
