Still building Ayno.

Still obsessed with the vision.

Just learning that long-term success means knowing when to breathe — not just when to sprint.

Life doesn’t pause just because you’re building something.

For a few weeks, Ayno had to take a back seat. Not because I stopped caring, but because life needed me more.

🧵 A thread for solo founders navigating real life and real work:

I’ve come back clearer. More motivated.

Not because I powered through, but because I stepped back.

Rested. Processed. And gave myself the space to return stronger.

Weirdly, they complement each other.

During 9-5 I’m a wind offshore manager. After hours, I’m learning (by doing) how to build a startup.

It feels like living parallel lives, but I’ve realized both lives teach me things I couldn’t get otherwise: discipline and process, courage and patience.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

@riellexox0 @AynoAI I’m sure we can work together soon!

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

🎉 Today is a special day for me: @AynoAI is officially live.
For months, my team and I have been building it.
We focused on creating something that makes working with AI smarter, and more productive.
Now for the first time, your AI chats can all live in one organised workspace.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

@AynoAI We wanted to give writers, marketers, and developers a workspace where AI finally feels like an extension of their thinking, not another distraction.
We’ve been figuring it out day by day.

And today, it all comes together as @AynoAI

@AynoAI Here’s what we’ve built inside Ayno 👇
You can work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok in a single chat space.
Switch between them instantly, or compare their answers side by side, without ever leaving the flow.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

Yesterday I spoke with a friend. Just one of those conversations that untangles the knots in your chest.

I realised that hustling is fine, but not when it replaces connection and not when it costs your peace.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

Even just honest feedback for growing @AynoAI is worth the effort.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

Me: “I can multitask”
Also me: 14 tabs, 3 AI tools, 99% stress.
My brain: cooked 🍳

If you’re like me, I have something for you.
I spent 5 hours organizing 20 high-performing prompts so you don’t have to.

@AynoAI @AynoAI will go live very soon!

BUILD IN PUBLIC @AynoAI 🛠️ Beta feedback feels like holding up a mirror you didn’t ask for.

You’re never as tall, smart, or clear as you thought you were 😅 It’s more about coming to terms with that “almost there” feeling.

But hey, better to learn it now than after launch.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

Every morning I rush straight into the routine.
This one, I didn’t.
Those 20 minutes of nothing were the most useful part of my day.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

Am I overthinking my choices? Yes.
But this is the price to pay to grow.
Confidence isn’t about knowing, but stepping anyway.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

The hardest part of building Ayno is explaining what it does without sounding like just another AI tool.

I’m still figuring it out.
But every week, the story gets sharper.

If you’ve read this far, thank you. You’re part of shaping that clarity.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

@thevinodpatidar Nice job Vinod, good to see how fast SEO can take effect. Hoping I can replicate 🙌🏽

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

That’s why I built @AynoAI: want to be an early user?
Beta spots are still open.

[Rhys Brown @Rhys__Brown]

Every new model release brags about parameters.
Spoiler: nobody cares.

Users care about saving time.

The model that gives you an extra hour back will always matter more than one that scores 2% higher on a benchmark.
