01b / strategy evolution
Started Sept 2024 as a narrow "voice notes via WhatsApp into Notion" assistant, repositioned by 2026 as a general AI intern operating over WhatsApp/Telegram/Slack/iMessage/email with 1,000+ integrations. The channel evolution is visible in artifacts: founder build-in-public first, then a huge programmatic SEO build-out (integration-pair × workflow-template matrix, still iterating — a dated experimental sitemap from Aug 9, 2026 sits in the index), an in-house 30% recurring affiliate program, and self-reported paid ads across five networks. Solo, bootstrapped, and per the founder: "I don't know a single AI company that is profitable. We are."
