The Accidental Discovery That Unlock The AI Frontier

Hello everyone!

I’m Elin Nguyen — just a no-coder who thought building products with AI would be easy. On November 13th, my best friend sent me a YouTube tutorial: “How to Build an AI Agent.”

I thought, omg finally! I don't have to code anymore. I genuinely believed:
Type what you want → AI generates code → upload code online → SaaS product → money.

That's how stupidly naive I was, and that’s how it all started. And that's also exactly where I hit the AI drift wall. I set out to build a GTM AI-powered Business Intelligence product, and reality immediately slapped me across the face.

Same prompt. Same Salesforce export. Five different answers.

One run: “Closed Won.”
Next run: “Unqualified Trash.”

Claude invented three discovery calls that never happened. Gemini signed the contract before the first email. OpenAI hallucinated a champion. Grok just said: “looks legit to me.”

At first, I thought I was the problem — bad prompts, bad structure. It felt like everyone else had some secret technique I just hadn’t learned yet. It really bothered me; I just couldn't let it go.

One night, at 4 AM, I couldn’t sleep trying to understand why drift kept happening. So I asked: what if I just ran the same prompt across different models — Grok, OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude? Maybe I’d see how and why they disagreed?

And then I saw it. The outputs weren’t random. They were patterned.

Each model slipped in the same patterned flaws — like watching four people climb an invisible staircase, each one missing a different step.

That’s when it hit me: I can’t build my GTM product until I fix this first.

Business intelligence can’t be built on hallucinations. I needed outputs that were exact, repeatable, auditable, deterministic. Not “close enough.” Not “probably correct.” But Exact. Not only once. Not by chance. But every single time.

I became obsessed, and I started my quest to turn LLMs into mechanical printers. I didn’t know I was solving one of the AI industry’s biggest problems back then — I simply needed LLM outputs to be exact.

ChatGPT gave answers fast. Grok tried to break everything on purpose. Gemini played it extremely safe.

But Claude… Claude doesn’t just drift — Claude overthinks. Claude finds nuance in a spreadsheet cell.

Like the final drift boss in a video game. Claude even refused to execute my prompt. Not because the task was impossible — but because Claude sees ambiguity everywhere. “Claude: I can't provide an answer in the style you're requesting.”
 

I realized: If I could push Claude into exact output, I’d beaten the final drift boss. So I kept prompting relentlessly and ruthlessly. On November 22nd, 2025, Claude surrendered. I finally got 100% cross-model convergence. That’s how ZeroDrift™ was born — a pure external layer I wrap around any LLM, politely but firmly forcing it to output the same deterministic result every single time. No retries.
No token bonfires. No output roulette. Every frontier model now categorizes any messy log exactly the same way. So far, I’ve tested GTM, e-commerce, legal, and finance workflows. You can check Use Cases on this website.

I didn't set out to solve big problems. I didn’t touch weights, kernels, or parameters. To be frank, I didn’t even know those existed or what they were. I just needed my GTM dashboard to not lie to me.
In solving that, I discovered the logical structure these models needed to converge.

Penicillin. Vulcanized rubber. Post-it notes. Microwave ovens. X-rays. All accidents. 

All discovered by people who weren’t looking for them — or were looking for something else entirely. Fleming left petri dishes out during vacation and found mold that killed bacteria.

Goodyear dropped rubber onto a hot stove by mistake.
Spencer noticed his chocolate bar melted while working on radar.

The pattern is always the same: Someone encounters a problem, stays curious instead of dismissing it, and discovers what they weren’t looking for. I wasn’t trying to fix AI. I was just building a GTM dashboard and got frustrated that the same prompt kept giving different answers. That frustration led to ZeroDrift™.

I genuinely believe this solves a real problem — making AI outputs reliable enough to build production systems on.

Fraud detection.
Forecasting.
Compliance.
Medical workflows.
Agent fleets.

Anything that can't afford multiple conflicting outputs — finally becomes deployable.

But I'm early. Dangerously early.  The industry still seems busy with:

• scaling models and burning compute on best-of-100 rollouts
   
• writing 400-page papers on “emergent alignment” that no commercial team reads
   
• prompt-hacking their way through demos
   
• raising billions on prototypes they hope don’t break on stage
   

It’s the classic startup mistake: brilliant tech, keep building out features, more, bigger, better, stronger —
while never once checking with the market.

To me, AI today is like a brilliant child that can't think straight — and every time it makes a mistake, the industry blames it and tells the child to go to the gym. But giving someone more muscles isn’t going to fix the mind is it...

Either way, the industry will continue doing what it does, and I’m not going to fight it.

But now that I’ve proven four frontier models can converge, I’m confident this is as close to exact as AI outputs can get and I can build my GTM BI Dashboard based on real-time data and not hallicunated. (See live cross-model convergence here.)

The industry will keep doing what it's doing while I keep moving forward — deploying real AI-native products that will be useful. OmnisensAI will be the first AI-native Business Intelligence platform, based on deterministic data where AI does the thinking and problem solving, not humans. My vision: ZeroDrift™ is a future AI safety/stability standard, a foundation for reliable AI systems, and I’m shipping it as a service.

It all started with one question to GPT: “What is an AI agent?”

Three weeks later, I had successfully lobotomized myself. The solution became so complex I gave up trying to understand what I had built. 

Bayesian inference?
Probability distributions?
Gradient-powered chaos rituals?
Matrix-flavored noodle mechanics?
Hyperdimensional goblin logic?

Nope. Absolutely not. Not going there. At some point I tapped out. The math was too much, the theory was too much, the reasoning was too much. So I outsourced my thinking to the machines. They became the brain; I became the meat cursor. “I just need this problem solved. Please fix it and tell me what to do next.” became my modus operandi.

If that’s hybrid cognition in 2025, then fine — I’ll take it. A no-coder who let the models handle the intelligence and just executes like an agent. I went from “what is an AI agent” to being the AI’s brain-dead agent, and honestly? It’s the most productive I’ve ever been. This is my operating mode today. Just surrender to the fact that I can’t problem-solve at that level. 

So the irony, I basically went from using AI as an agent… to becoming the agent that executes whatever the AI tells me. Weirdly enough — it works. And that's all that matters. Check the live demo for yourself.
