How Free AI Could Be Nepal's Biggest Shortcut to Better Education
Featuring Prasish Raj Bhandari, Co-founder & Chief Product Officer, Venture23 Inc.
This episode of The Doers explores how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping industries and what this transformation could mean for Nepal. The conversation dives into the rapid rise of agentic coding and AI-powered automation, with the speaker suggesting that AI can now handle up to 95% of traditional coding tasks, fundamentally changing the role of software engineers. The discussion also highlights open-source AI models as a major opportunity for developing countries like Nepal, allowing businesses, educators, and individuals to access powerful technology without the massive costs traditionally associated with AI adoption. Rather than focusing on individual AI tools, the episode emphasizes a broader mindset shift: identifying real-world problems first and then using AI to solve, automate, execute, or brainstorm solutions. Ultimately, the conversation presents AI not simply as another technology trend, but as a foundational technology that could transform how Nepal works, learns, builds, and competes globally.
