Chloé Maillot

IA product designer, in Paris

[Noe @noechague]

This is probably the stupidest decision I’ve ever made.

One month ago, I convinced my 3 friends to quit everything, move into a tiny apartment, and try something almost no sane person should do:

Build an AI product from scratch.
With no funding.
No safety net.
And 30 days of savings.

We wake up, ship, crash, restart, argue, laugh, doubt, panic, then somehow ship again.

We accidentally hit 583 beta users.
Now we want the impossible:
1,000 users before the month ends.

If we fail, we go home broke.
If we win, it becomes the wildest story of our lives.

Either way, we’re doing it fully in public.
Buckle up.

Today I made my first money as a programmer.

I sold my laptop.

[Noe @noechague]

One year ago, I couldn’t design, couldn’t code, and knew literally nobody.
Somehow that still turned into 559 companies using my product today.

I never planned any of this.

There was no “grand strategy”, no roadmap, no secret formula.
Just curiosity → ideas → sharing them → meeting the right people at the right moment.

Sometimes I convinced them.
Sometimes I didn’t.
Sometimes I completely missed an opportunity and realized it weeks later.

But that’s the part nobody talks about:
you don’t need to start perfect - you just need to keep showing up long enough for luck, people, and timing to collide.

And somehow… they did.

Today, that messy path led to this:
559 companies in beta - including teams at Microsoft and IBM.

Still feels surreal.

Today was my last day at my 9-to-5.
I put my job on hold to build my own SaaS, full-time.
Living off my savings for the next 30 days.

Current: 500 beta users
Goal: 1,000 users before the month ends.

I’ll document everything in public.
Wish me luck.

@Arz_UI @artiste_dev Yes c’est ça, on recommande également de partir sur des frames IPhone 13 mini car ce sont les plus petits écrans sur le marché actuellement et c’est toujours plus simple en responsive d’agrandir que de rétrécir ;)

[Chloé Maillot @ChloMaillott]

@fixster5 Je viens de régler ça ;)
