About

Hi, I'm the Rich Explorer.

My real name is Shubham Nigam. I'm a tech founder — I build AI products for a living — and Rich Explorer is where I take everything I learn on the frontier and translate it for the people who matter most: regular households.

Here's what I believe: AI is the biggest practical life upgrade since the internet, and it is being explained terribly. The tutorials assume you code. The news assumes you care about billion-dollar labs. Nobody is writing for the parent planning meals, the student drowning in reading, the shop owner doing invoices at midnight. That's who this site is for.

Every guide follows three rules. It must be doable by a beginner — no code, no setup marathons. It must be actually tested — I run every tool myself, and the screenshots are mine. And it must be honest about failure — when a tool wastes your time or your money, the guide says so.

Some drafts here start with AI assistance — it would be strange to write about these tools without using them. Every published word is edited, fact-checked, and signed off by me.

Find me on LinkedIn, X, and TikTok.
