Hi, I’m Manav Mishra, creator of Zero Slop.
I’m a product builder and technologist who has worked across engineering, product, design, and business leadership at Intel, Microsoft, Google, HPE, Silver Peak, and MSCI.
At Microsoft, I helped build large-scale anti-spam, anti-phishing, anti-malware, anti-spyware, and reputation systems for Office, Windows, and browsers, including technology that became part of Microsoft SmartScreen.
I’ve also helped build and launch products and platforms including Windows 7, Windows Live Mesh (OneDrive), Google Analytics, HPE Helion Stackato, Silver Peak EdgeConnect SD-WAN, and the platform powering AI-driven risk and portfolio intelligence for institutional investors at MSCI.
Today, I’m building an agentic AI startup in stealth mode and open-sourcing tools I find useful along the way.
- Zero Slop — open-source editing that finds canned AI writing and rewrites it in your voice.
- GitHub — experiments, agent skills, and open-source AI tools.
I’m especially interested in agentic systems, AI infrastructure, context and harness design, enterprise AI, and the tools that make AI more useful in real-world workflows.
Zero Slop is at v2.12.11. Recent posts:
