I wasn't trying to switch careers or anything dramatic. Just wanted to learn what AI can actually do beyond ChatGPT. During the cohort I built a small automation for something my team does manually every Monday. Showed it to my lead casually. He showed it to the manager. Long story short, now the whole department uses it and my name comes up in meetings I wasn't even invited to before. Got a role upgrade last quarter. Can't say it's 100% because of this but it definitely helped.

I'd been applying to jobs for five months straight. Nothing. Not even rejections — just silence. Nagpur mein tech jobs are almost non-existent. Did the workshop mostly because a friend shared the link. The bounty thing on the platform caught my attention after. Submitted for one, didn't expect to win. Got selected. ₹12,000 for a text summarizer. It's not a salary but it's the first time someone paid me for my brain, not my attendance. Currently doing my third bounty.

I used to work in marketing before kids. After a four-year gap nobody wants to hire you, that's just the reality. Tried freelancing on Fiverr — made almost nothing. The Learn-Create-Earn program taught me to build a prompt tool instead of selling my time. I made a social media caption generator. It's not making me lakhs but it makes ₹8-10K a month consistently. For someone who had zero income for four years, that matters more than any amount looks on paper.

Honestly joined because it was ₹99 and I had nothing going on that weekend. Didn't think much would come of it. But I actually built something in that session — like a working thing, not a demo. After the cohort I made a quiz tool for a coaching center here in Kota. They paid me ₹20,000 for it. That was more than I made in two months of tuition. I'm not going to say it changed my life overnight because it didn't. But it changed what I thought was possible for me. That's new.

I dropped out of engineering. Not a proud story, it just happened — couldn't manage fees. Was doing data entry work. Someone on Reddit mentioned this workshop. ₹99 so I figured why not. The weird part is — I actually built something that worked. A chatbot. In two hours. That messed with my head because I'd spent three years in engineering feeling like I couldn't build anything. Now I take small projects — nothing fancy — chatbots, form automations. Making around ₹30-40K most months. Some months less. But it's mine.

Not going to lie, I cried the first week of the cohort because I didn't understand half the things. I have a BCom degree, not CS. But the mentors were patient and the Vibe Coding thing is real — I described what I wanted and AI helped me build it. Made an invoice tool for a CA uncle's office. He tells his CA friends about it. That's my marketing — uncle network. It brings in ₹12-15K a month. My family doesn't fully get what I do but the money is real and that's enough for now.

I work in a manufacturing plant. Nothing about my life screams 'tech.' But I know factory problems really well. Built a simple quality checklist tool during the cohort using that knowledge. My supervisor at work uses it now. Also listed a prompt pack on the marketplace — maintenance-related stuff. Nobody else is making those because nobody in AI comes from a factory floor. Not quitting my job or anything but it feels good to have something that's just mine.

I was doing ₹500 logos on Fiverr and hating every minute. Made an AI brand kit generator — it does in minutes what used to take me days. I charge ₹1,500-2,000 now and clients are happier because it's faster. I'm not rich but I'm not doing ₹500 logos anymore and my back doesn't hurt from 14-hour Illustrator sessions. That's the win.

Everyone here wants a sarkari naukri. My parents definitely do. But the competition is insane. I didn't know what else to do. Found the workshop through an Instagram ad at like 1 AM. Joined. Built a price comparison tool for vegetables — sounds silly but my family sells produce so I know the problem. A local cooperative uses it now. The money isn't huge — ₹8-10K a month — but in Muzaffarpur that means something.

Everyone in my batch is preparing for entrance exams or hoping for campus placement. I built a study planner tool during the GenAI Generalist program and my roommates started using it. That's literally how it started. Put it on the marketplace mostly to see what would happen. Started an AI interest group in college — 23 people showed up to the first meetup which honestly surprised me.

I joined knowing the basics — what prompts are, how ChatGPT works, the surface-level stuff everyone knows. What I didn't know was how to actually build something useful with it. The GenAI Generalist work here in RentPrompts was different from any other internship. It was real tasks, real deadlines, real users.

Before this, 'generative AI' was a buzzword I'd throw around in conversations without really understanding what I was saying. RentPrompts gave me actual projects — not demos, actual things people use. Building AI-driven applications when there's a real deadline and a real user waiting on the other end teaches things no course covers.

I came from a non-CS background so everything felt intimidating at first. The research work here pushed me into areas I wouldn't have explored on my own — AI content optimization, prompt engineering for specific use cases, things I didn't even know existed as skills. What changed is how I think about problems now. Before RentPrompts I'd Google solutions. Now I build them. That shift happened here, not in any classroom.

Built the Email Generator RAP and worked on Stanza Studio here. Those aren't course projects sitting in a folder — they're real products. The Email Generator actually works, people actually use it. There's a huge difference between 'I learned prompt engineering' and 'I built a product with prompt engineering that people pay to use.' RentPrompts gave me the second one. That's what goes on the portfolio. That's what gets noticed.

I worked on NestJS, Payload CMS, and AI model integration here. Technical stuff that sounds intimidating written down but made sense when I was building it piece by piece with the team. What I didn't expect was how much the collaborative culture would matter. It's not a 'do this task and submit' environment. People actually sit with each other and figure things out together. Came in as someone who coded alone in her room. Left as someone who knows how to build with a team. Udaipur doesn't have many places that teach that.

Joined in May 2024 specifically to get hands-on with LangChain. Every other resource was either too theoretical or too advanced with no middle ground. RentPrompts had that middle ground. Worked on real projects with people who actually know what they're doing. The biggest thing I took away isn't a specific skill — it's the habit of building. Before this, I'd read documentation for weeks before starting anything. Now I just start. Build something ugly, make it better, ship it. That mindset came from here.
