Aviral Agarwal

Hi! I'm Aviral, a Business Honors and Information Systems student at UT Austin.

I built Scaffold as a workspace for writers to revisit what they've already written, uncover recurring ideas, and surface the half-finished thoughts that still have something left in them. The project grew out of running my own publication, aviralwrites.com, and spending time inside my own library. Even as frontier models keep advancing, I don't believe AI can ever replace the voice of a writer. At its best, AI can be a quiet amplifier, motivator, and searcher across your own work. I hope Scaffold can create that experience for you.

Through this project, I became deeply interested in product design and user behavior. While AI has lowered the barrier to building, I'm focused on developing stronger product judgment: reducing friction, deciding what matters, and understanding when simplicity beats added functionality.
