Developer Chats – Pavel Shchekotov

Episode notes

Today, we are continuing our series, entitled Developer Chats - hearing from the large scale system builders themselves. In this episode, we are talking with Pavel Shchekotov, Founding Engineer of specializing in voice-first, conversational AI products. Pavel is going to take us through his experience as an agency founder, leading into building voice driven, consumer AI. Questions Today you're building AI-native consumer products around conversational interfaces and user engagement. How has that journey shaped the way you think about product engineering? What did those agency years teach you about product development that most engineers never learn? What convinced you that voice could be the primary interface rather than just another feature? What are the hardest engineering and product challenges that emerge when conversation itself becomes the product? What’s one problem that seemed trivial on paper but became surprisingly difficult at scale? What did you learn about technology adoption, trust, and user behavior from building for a demographic that much of the tech industry tends to ignore?
