Aditya Sharma was watching founders waste days doing competitive analysis the old-fashioned way - Googling alternatives, bookmarking tools, building spreadsheets by hand. So he built Productive AI, a platform that uses semantic search to scan GitHub's entire open source ecosystem and deliver feature-level competitor comparisons in seconds.
In this episode of the Lead with AI, Aditya walks Dr. Tamara Nall through how the platform identifies projects that solve the same problem even when they use completely different language, reveals how he used Productive AI on itself and discovered dozens of similar open source projects he had never heard of, and shares why he believes AI should teach users how to think better rather than follow suggestions blindly.
