Introducing the first AI-powered scheduling software in the world. It's your more intelligent & affordable Calcom + Calendaly combined! It acts like: - Salesman (to convince your clients to book) - Support team (to answer your clients' questions & guide them) - An AI-powered booking system (to book meetings directly using AI integration) - & so much more! It will be dropping in prod in a few days :) P.S.: I used @firecrawl's amazing API for scraping & web search. I also built this feature with my Co-founder in the CustomHacks hackathon hosted by @mrmagan_. Get ready to transform how scheduling & AI work together! Demo 👇

My mentor at my first dev job once told me: “You will never make it to Junior 2.” Why? Because I asked a question about a technology I had never used before. The next day HR and the CEO scheduled a call. I was fired for that same reason. Now imagine if I had a weak mindset. That moment could’ve convinced me I wasn’t good enough. That I should quit coding. But I didn’t. I laughed and kept going. 4 years later: • I have 3 apps making money • I code better than that mentor • I make more than I did at that job And more importantly, I learned things that job would never have taught me: Infrastructure. Security. Marketing. Finance. So in a way… they were right. I was never meant to make it to Junior 2. I was meant to be CEO and CTO of my own things.

I built a social network inside TrustMRR. Now founders can post updates, buyers get notified, and strangers can like each other's revenue. It's 𝕏 but everyone's MRR is public: trustmrr.com/feed

Tomorrow we’re removing GojiberryAI from TrustMRR. We’ll keep running ads and growing as usual, but we’ll stop showing our revenue publicly. Huge thanks to @marclou for building such an amazing transparency tool. The reality is that once you share everything publicly, some competitors start watching every move. They copy marketing strategies, contact the same influencers, and try to replicate the exact playbook. So for now, we’re going a bit quieter. We already shared how we went from $0 to $1M ARR, and we’re proud of that. Next time we open the numbers again, it will be at $5M or $10M ARR. Hopefully very soon.

alright. since everyone has an opinion about me and my 12 codex subscriptions right now, here's mine - yeah. i really don't know how to use git on my own. that's true. i can't write javascript from scratch. if you put me in a coding interview i would mass fail but let me give you the full picture i signed up for ChatGPT on literally day 1. november 2022. the day it came out. actually, i was on the OpenAI Playground before that. was 14 or 15 i think and had no idea what i was doing but talking to this thing and getting it to help me understand stuff felt like nothing i'd ever experienced before since then i've done so much random client work it's actually stupid. SEO. marketing. content. AI automations. customer support. a shitton of vibe coding in real production databases. all kinds of weird freelance work that no one would put on a resume. and the one thing that was true about every single one of them is that i (almost) never knew what i was doing going in. not once. i didn't know SEO when i started doing SEO. i didn't know coding (by hand) when i got a contract cause of a crazy demo i vibecoded & showed to the CEO over loom. i just knew how to use LLMs and i knew how to ask the right questions - i think everything in life is a context problem. you give the right context to the right problem and you can solve almost anything. that's just been my experience over and over - someone in the replies brought up the average salary in india. i think its around $2,500 a year. i'm fortunate enough to make multiples of that in a single month. last year i somehow passed my entire household's combined income while being full time in school (but had passing grades for a few exams) which still sounds insane to type out honestly - the internet has genuinely changed my life. this year i paid for my parents' 25th wedding anniversary and took them scuba diving. went to japan on my own. i'm 18. none of this was supposed to be possible for someone like me i'm not saying that to flex. i'm saying it because i need you to understand that spending ~$3k a month on AI is NOT poocket change for me. that's a genuinely insane amount of money where i live. that is a LOT of what i earn going right back in i have close zero savings. literally zero (it's stupidity and i plan to change that). every single thing i make goes back into AI, tools, learning, whatever gets me further. because i figured out early that the only thing that actually compounds is what you know and how fast you can move now the 12 codex accounts (actually 11 atm, one of them expired and idk which one) and some few claude ones: i run everything on the highest mode possible. always. because i'm not technical enough to catch it when the AI makes a mistake on a lower setting. i can't look at a block of code and go "shi that's wrong." so i just throw maximum compute at everything. i know that's wasteful. and i know a real developer would use a FRACTION of what i use. but i'm not a real developer (yet). i'm an 18 year old with way too many ambitions and so i end up trying everything and not enough time and AI is the only leverage i have. so when i hit the limit i don't wait. i get another account. because stopping is not something i know how to do and yeah my AIs do talk to each other. no it's none of that "BUILD THIS AI AUTOMATION AND ESCAPE PERMANENT UNDERCLASS" bs that we've gotten to hate simply, i run claude and codex at the same time on the same problem and i'm jumping between them like a maniac. there's no clean workflow. it's messy as hell. it looks unhinged from the outside and honestly it probably is. but it works and thats the only thing i care about (for someone who can't code by hand, being able to do genuine work in a real job in a real codebase is an insane feeling) i do real client work. i work with multiple clients on real projects and the reason i can handle that many is because i've gotten good at using these tools to move fast. i don't have deep domain expertise in every single thing. but i learn fast and the gap closes quicker than people expect no i can't show you all the client work to prove my argument. some of it is on my feed. go find if you're really that curious. but not everything is mine to show for clout. i know that's the most convenient thing i could possibly say right now but I don't have anything else to say apart from what's true and yeah reading a thousand strangers call you a fraud at 3am is not the best feeling (which is what has been happening in the last 12 goddamn hours, simply because i was too excited to share the workflows that excite me, with rob) but here's what i can do: i applied to @robj3d3's show a couple weeks ago. i think 200 people applied or maybe more, idk. he picked 3. and episode 0 drops today i'm gonna be building an AI social media agent from scratch. on camera. for 6 weeks straight (and beyond) you will literally be able to watch me build it alongside academics + all the work i do (i'm going insane and taking caffeine pills to stay awake most days and it's honestly not good for me but it's a tradeoff i choose to make at the moment) and if in 6 weeks i haven't built anything real then come back and tell me i was full of shit. i'll deserve it but before that be a little kinder to peopleif you aren't not everyone starts their day with the intent to bs you with their 'crazy AI AUTOMATION workflows (ahem)* to sell a course or some dogshit to help you escape the permanent underclass or whatever they call it - on that note.. i'm gonna lock in harder than ever!! LETS DO THIS i'm working 14 hours a day, cause work is fun and work feels like play when you're running 10 parallel codexes and beyond :D i'm gonna give it my everything don't know how don't know if i'll crash maybe i will but i'll give it my everything, or die trying - episode 0 of my first dollar (ahem, from my own saas), out in about 90 minutes! peace:)
