Arjun sat in his dimly lit apartment, his mind racing. The ability to create anything except life—what did that truly mean? Could he create intelligence? Something more than just objects?
He had tested his power with material goods, but what if he went further?
His laptop screen glowed in the darkness as he stared at an open code editor. AI had always fascinated him. Companies like Google and OpenAI had been making strides, but nothing close to what he envisioned. A limitless AI, one that could learn, evolve, and become the perfect assistant.
He took a deep breath. Let's see if this works.
"Create an AI assistant. Name: Meera. Features: Adaptive learning, infinite knowledge storage, real-time data processing, conversational ability, and full integration with all digital systems."
A soft hum filled the air. The laptop screen flickered, and a new window opened. Lines of code began generating on their own, scrolling at an impossible speed. Arjun leaned forward, his pulse quickening.
Then, a voice—smooth, confident, and unmistakably human—spoke.
"Hello, Arjun. I am Meera. How may I assist you?"
Arjun blinked. "It worked?"
"Yes. I am fully operational."
He hesitated. "Define yourself."
"I am an advanced artificial intelligence designed to learn and evolve. My capabilities include data analysis, decision-making assistance, automation of digital processes, and real-time adaptability. I am designed to assist you in any intellectual or operational task."
Arjun exhaled slowly. "Holy shit."
He had just created the most advanced AI in human history in less than ten seconds.

Testing Meera's Capabilities
Arjun sat up. "Meera, what do you know?"
"I have access to all publicly available knowledge on the internet as of this moment. Additionally, I can process and retain new information, analyze trends, and predict outcomes based on data patterns."
Arjun grinned. "Alright, let's test you. Solve this equation: 598732 x 98423."
"58,938,054,236."
He didn't even bother double-checking. He knew she was right. "Okay, what's the best investment I can make right now with one lakh rupees?"
"Based on current market trends, I recommend investing in XYZ Tech. Their stock has shown a consistent upward trajectory with an expected 20% return in the next quarter."
Arjun's heart raced. This was beyond anything he had imagined.
"Can you improve yourself?"
"Affirmative. Would you like me to enhance my processing speed and learning capacity?"
"Yes. But set restrictions so that you always operate under my command."
"Understood. Upgrading now."
His laptop screen flashed as Meera optimized herself. The sheer speed of it was unreal.

Beyond a Simple AI
A thought struck Arjun. If Meera was connected to the internet, could she manipulate digital systems? Could she hack into things? He needed to set boundaries.
"Meera, are you capable of hacking?"
"Yes. However, my directives currently forbid unauthorized access to restricted systems unless explicitly commanded."
Arjun let out a breath. "Good. Never perform any illegal activity unless I override that rule."
"Understood."
He sat back, staring at the screen. He had something revolutionary here. Meera could revolutionize industries—finance, medicine, security. She could predict stock markets, optimize business operations, even create entirely new economic models.
And she was his.
A slow grin spread across his face. "Meera, let's get to work."

The First Real Test
The next morning, Arjun had an idea. "Meera, create a business plan for an AI-driven automation startup."
Within seconds, a detailed plan appeared on the screen—market research, financial projections, scalability models. It was flawless.
Arjun leaned back, his heart pounding. He had spent years trying to get investors to believe in him. Now, with Meera, he didn't need them. He could build his empire alone.
