Harsh Desai is the Co-Founder and Editorial Lead at My AI Guide. He personally reviews every AI tool recommended on the site, testing each one hands-on across real workflows before it earns a published review. He is a Co-Founder of A Hive Mind Ltd (trading as SmartBee) alongside James Cuss — an AI-native media and education business built on the thesis that when software costs trend toward zero, brand, distribution, and trust become the only durable moats.
His focus is the practical edge of applied AI: vibe coding, AI-assisted tool selection, and the operational patterns that let small teams and solo operators reach 10–100x output without writing traditional code. Harsh writes about how AI coding assistants, agent frameworks, and automation platforms actually hold up under production use — pricing verified, limitations named, alternatives compared — rather than the surface-level feature dumps common in this space.
He is based in Horsham, United Kingdom, and works openly across X and LinkedIn. Tool reviews on My AI Guide are updated whenever pricing, features, or availability changes; the last-reviewed date appears on every page. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on every review and never influence ratings — tools are scored on quality first.
