Hi, I'm Rahul Rao

I build with AI every day and share what actually works. In Aug-2026, my n8n workflow for grabbing Oracle's free server won 1st place at #BuildersDontW8, the n8n community showcase.

Grounded AI Lab is where I learn in public and share what works: the tools, the builds and what they really cost.
