Creatorbase
Apr 20251 yr 8 mosPresent

Network School, Singapore-Johor economic zone

Built Creatorbase, an agentic marketing platform for running creator campaigns end to end autonomously, from brief to payout. Creatorbase turns 20+ hours of campaign management into a 5-minute setup, giving brands a way to run campaigns across hundreds of creators without building an operations team around every launch. I built an agent-assisted operating system around that workflow: • creator discovery agent — matches creators to campaign requirements • content analysis agent — reviews submissions against the brand brief • performance tracking agent — verifies engagement across platforms • payment processing agent — calculates earnings and settles rewards onchain The product supports original UGC campaigns. We are also building Chop, where creators remix a brand’s existing assets into short-form content. I started with a hackathon prototype and turned it into a live product used for campaigns across countries, with 400+ creators and Base(one of the largest blockchains in the world) as an early paying customer. I work across the product end to end: turning brand briefs into campaign plans, matching creators, reviewing content, tracking performance and handling global payouts. Creatorbase won the AI track in a global accelerator for onchain and AI products with 5000+ projects built and finished joint third at the final demo day. https://creatorbase.pro/

Network School

I split my time between my own products, hackathons and a small number of confidential consulting engagements. I have been a power user of replit, openai and anthropic since 2023. As the tools evolved, I added Codex and Claude Code to my workflow and used them to move from product decisions to working software faster. Most builds stayed experiments. Some reached users. Fewer made revenue. I kept the ones that showed pull and treated the rest as practical R&D. Selected work: • Creatorbase became the most substantial venture from this period and is listed separately. • Paper IRL — turns X bookmarks and linked articles into a printable personal edition. • Homelore — a voice-first family-memory product that keeps exact words, interpretations and unknowns separate. • AI Manager / Maya — audits product strategy by challenging the reasoning, not just improving the writing. • Vahara Feed — a finite, transparent alternative to an endless social feed, with an explicit fallback when AI ranking is unavailable. • FarReal — a daily Farcaster moment built around cameras, prompts, notifications and feeds. Alongside the building, I worked with founders and early teams on product strategy, 0→1 definition, prioritisation, GTM and AI prototyping. I keep client names private. In August 2025, I moved to Network School — a startup society — because I wanted to spend more time around people building things. https://onchain-ai-blr.devfolio.co/@GaganGehani/projects
Career Break
Sep 20245 mosJan 2025

I had been wanting to get back to building hands-on, and the arrival of AI seemed like the right push. I took a career break to go into indie hacking and implement the latest AI tech. I was early to predict AI use cases at scale, both in my role building a browser and in side projects. Example: I predicted the “@grok, is this true?” behavior in 2023, way before its mainstream usage today. I built an AI chatbot: https://x.com/datadiveai I built a bunch of indie products. Most didn’t go anywhere. Some got users; an even smaller number made revenue. I won multiple hackathons during this period.

About

Product management leader with 8+ years, building 0 to 1 and in scale ups, managing teams of PMs across edtech, gaming, fintech and crypto in growth, platform and engagement driving roles. I have a knack of predicting user behavior changes at scale, example: I built a twitter bot in 2023( very early llm days) for the @grok is this true behavior that became mainstream only in 2025. https://x.com/datadiveai?s=11 I have a technical enough background, won several hackathons(pre the December 2025 lift in coding agents). Some projects : https://devfolio.co/@GaganGehani/projects. I have also built my own cash flow positive agentic products with one of the largest blockchains in the world (Base) as a paying customer. https://x.com/gagangehani/status/1991138207602454668?s=46 I build ai agents for fun, recently built an ai video editor for creating post ready content from my raw cricket footage. I like to think I am as ai native a builder/ PM can get, happy to walk you through specifics.
