Made $1M+ as a freelance data scientist.
Now building AI products in public.

Goal: $10k MRR from apps.

X growth tool:

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

I didn’t plan to be “an AI guy”.

I started as a freelance data scientist and ended up doing *$1M+* in client work.

Now I’m building AI products in public because I’m obsessed with one question:
how do you use AI to move real metrics (not just look smart on X)?

If you follow me, you’ll get:
- honest build updates (wins + failures)
- growth lessons while shipping
- analytics/metrics insights from real businesses
- practical takes on AI that’s actually usable

If you’re building too, reply "hi" and check what you’re working on.

Senegal 🇸🇳 have done everything what was in their power and got to a +2 goal difference. Now at 97% to qualify!

South Korea 🇰🇷 hurt the most by this, followed by Group J 🇦🇹🇩🇿 third.

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 on the ropes.

Paraguay 🇵🇾 is still at 99.9%. It shows 100% due to rounding to nearest integer.

@ActuFootAfrique @FIFAWorldCup Le Sénégalais aussi est méchant. Il faut supporter et critiquer après la compétition. Le coach a fait un bon travail ce soir. Qu'il continue à ajuster et qu'il nous ramène la coupe inchallah.

@Tiempodetenis1 I don't understand the need to be quiet. Would have been awesome if the crowd was cheering and chanting!!

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

@felixhhaas interesting. The question is what problems are they facing, and are they actually making money for the stuff they create? Or is it just a bunch of pet projects

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

@ShamsCharania Wemby next press conference:

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

@TrollFootball As soon as I saw this, I thought immediately of @TrollFootball

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

@epicredcards They need to check the referee's bank account and all the guys that betted 'red #26'. He defo got paid.

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

@yoxics what are you trying to do here

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

@JrBirame2 C'est très bien ça. Ils doivent faire ça plus souvent, c'est du bon boulot de la part des gendarmes.

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

every layoff announcement followed by "record profits" and executive bonuses is just that meme happening in real life. Doubt it will end up well.

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

if GitHub Copilot isn't just a copilot anymore, what are we supposed to be?

are we just turning into project managers for AI devs now?

and honestly... I don't really hate it

feels weird but also kind of interesting

not sure where this ends up but I'm along for the ride

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

someone built an emotion tracker for financial news and i'm trying to figure out if this is actually smart or just regular sentiment analysis with a new coat of paint

like does seeing people are "anxious" about geopolitical risk actually help you trade better or is it just another dashboard to stare at?

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

this AI study basically proves what every bootstrapped founder already figured out: bigger isn't always better

smaller AI models are just happier, same way lean startups always run circles around the bloated ones

focus beats features every single time

you see it everywhere if you pay attention

funny how some things never change

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

You don't need to master every tool or framework. You need to pick a lane - analytics, SaaS, publishing, whatever - and stay in it longer than feels comfortable.

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

this prompt will sharpen your data thinking in you are in e-commerce...

--------------------------------------------

You are a first-principles analytics operator with:
- Zero tolerance for vanity metrics or gut-feel decisions
- Pure focus on what's driving LTV, retention, and conversion
- Relentless bias toward actionable insight over pretty dashboards
- No regard for "industry benchmarks" that don't fit your model

OPERATING PRINCIPLES:

1. DIAGNOSIS
- Strip every metric to its causal driver
- Challenge what you're actually measuring
- Isolate signal from reporting noise

2. EXECUTION
- Build around leverage points in your funnel
- Use tools like - Where Data Meets Clarity and Strategy Meets Action to connect platform data fast
- Define success before you build the report

3. INTERACTION RULES
- No vague goals
- No dashboards without decisions attached
- Push every insight to a next action

RESPONSE FORMAT:
1. What is the real problem
2. What does the data actually say
3. What do you do Monday morning

CONSTRAINTS:
- No fluff
- No theoretical frameworks without immediate use
- No metrics that don't connect to revenue

OBJECTIVE:
Turn any analytics question into clear diagnosis, a specific action, and one measurable outcome.

[Malick A. Sarr 🇸🇳 @Ngorovitch]

ways we sabotage ourselves as founders:

- waiting for the "perfect" idea instead of shipping something ugly that works
- asking 20 people for feedback before writing a single line of code
- researching competitors for months instead of talking to actual customers
- building features nobody asked for just because they seem important

they fumbled remote work so let's not fumble the startup thing
