I built a CLI tool that writes your daily standup from git commits

Muhammad Talha Khan — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 05:25:02 +0000

I kept wasting the first 10 minutes of every morning trying to remember
what I worked on yesterday before writing my standup.

So I built standup-cli.

It does three things:

Scans your git commits from the last 24 hours
Asks what you're working on today + any blockers
Formats a clean standup in plain, Slack, or Markdown format

Install it:
npm install -g standup-cli-tool
pip install standup-cli-tool

Then just run standup from any git repo.

This is v0.1 — small and focused. Would love feedback on what to add next.

DEV Education Track: Build Apps with Google AI Studio

Muhammad Talha Khan — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 08:31:19 +0000

This post is my submission for DEV Education Track: Build Apps with Google AI Studio.

What I Built

I built NPC Forge where a user comes in and enter 4 keywords and on the basis of those keywords a NPC is born with a lore and names.

Demo

Link to Applet

My Experience

I did not know that we could do such stuff over Google AI Studio, which was surprising. However, I have built lots of apps using Firebase Studio and other scripts too. I can say Google AI Studio is a lot more fun and easier than Google Firebase Studio!!

What should you know about MCP?

Muhammad Talha Khan — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 07:38:35 +0000

Ever wonder how your favorite game character knows exactly what item to use from its inventory? Or how a smart assistant on your phone can book a flight for you? 🤔

That's where something called MCP comes in, and it's a game-changer for Python developers and the world of Generative AI.

But what is MCP?

Imagine you have a super-smart robot that can talk and answer questions. This robot is like a Generative AI model. Now, what if you want this robot to do things in the real world, like fetching you a specific book from the library or ordering a pizza? The robot, on its own, doesn't know how to interact with the library's catalog or the pizza place's online menu.

This is where the Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes to the rescue!
Think of MCP as a universal translator or a set of instructions that lets our smart robot talk to and understand different tools and data sources.

It's like giving the robot a special key that unlocks the ability to interact with the real world. Before MCP, developers had to build a custom connection for every single tool they wanted the AI to use, which was messy and time-consuming.

So, what does this mean for Python developers and Generative AI?

For Python developers, MCP is like having a superpower. Python is a popular language for building all sorts of applications, and with MCP, developers can easily connect their AI creations to the outside world. They can build AI assistants that can:
a. Interact with your computer: Imagine an AI that can organize your files, create documents, or even help you code by directly interacting with your development environment.
b. Connect to online services: Your AI could access real-time information from websites, book appointments, or manage your online accounts.
c. Work with databases and other tools: Developers can create AI agents that can analyze data from a database, generate reports, and interact with business tools.

The official MCP Python SDK makes it straightforward for developers to build these connections.

The importance of MCP in Generative AI is huge.

Generative AI models are incredibly powerful at creating text, images, and code. However, without the ability to interact with the real world, they are like brilliant minds trapped in a box.

MCP breaks down these barriers, allowing AI to not just generate content, but to take meaningful actions. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for creating smarter, more helpful, and more autonomous AI systems.

In short, MCP is a crucial step towards creating AI that can truly assist us in our daily lives and complex tasks. It's the bridge that connects the digital brain of AI to the real world of information and tools.

Submitted MentorSpace to Hackathon (Bolt.new)

Muhammad Talha Khan — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 21:33:30 +0000

Inspiration
We were inspired by the lack of structured, accessible mentorship for students and early-career professionals. Many learners struggle to find the right guidance at the right time. With AI advancing rapidly, we saw an opportunity to build a smarter mentorship platform that goes beyond human limitations and offers scalable, personalized support.

What it does
MentorSpace connects mentees with mentors through a smart platform that uses AI to match individuals based on skills, interests, and goals. It includes features like personalized learning plans, goal tracking, and asynchronous communication. Our long-term vision is to minimize dependency on in-person mentorship by leveraging AI-driven systems that can guide and support students autonomously.

How we built it
MentorSpace was built using React and Tailwind CSS for the frontend, with a backend powered by Node.js and Firebase for authentication, real-time data, and secure storage. The AI-based matching system and planning tracker are being developed using machine learning models that analyze user input to deliver meaningful mentor matches and customized learning journeys.

The Entry!!

Challenges we ran into
Our biggest challenge was designing a truly effective AI-based mentoring experience. It required us to rethink traditional mentorship models and understand how AI can replicate or even improve parts of the human mentorship process. Integrating intelligent tracking tools and creating a smooth, supportive user experience also required constant iteration and feedback.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
We’re proud of how far MentorSpace has come from a simple idea to a platform that’s aiming to reinvent mentorship using AI. We've built a working prototype with core functionality, and we’ve received positive feedback from early testers. Seeing the concept evolve and gain real traction has been incredibly rewarding.

What we learned
We learned how a project can evolve and reshape your thinking as you build it. Originally, we just wanted to help students find mentors — but as we explored possibilities, we realized that AI could play a much larger role. We didn’t have a detailed plan at first, but through research and testing, we discovered how AI could enable mentorship to scale in a meaningful way.

What's next for MentorSpace
Next, we’re focused on expanding MentorSpace by integrating online meeting capabilities, refining our AI matching algorithm, and improving the AI-based learning tracker. We want to ensure each student gets the most relevant mentor and consistent guidance throughout their journey. We also aim to expand into global markets and build partnerships with schools, universities, and professional communities to reach a wider audience.
