AI researcher ยท Kolkata, India

Kanishk Paul

I am Kanishk Paul, an AI researcher from Kolkata building agentic systems, neurosymbolic reasoning tools, and research-driven software. My work sits between new architectures for intelligence, practical agent tooling, and careful public writing about AI and what it changes.

I study reasoning systems, build agents and research software in TypeScript and Python, and keep a strong bias toward public artifacts that are simple, testable, and useful.
