Mark my words:
I’m going to make $1M in the next 2 years while I’m still in college.
I’ll document the entire journey here.
I’ve already tested a few ideas.
All of them failed.
But I’ll keep building.
I’ll keep launching.
Cal AI has been acquired by MyFitnessPal 🚨
Henry and I started Cal AI as 17-year old high school students with one mission: make calorie tracking easier with AI.
In just 18 months, we’ve helped millions of people lose millions of pounds. And we broke $50m in ARR along the way.
We are at an incredible inflection point in history where ANYBODY can build a product that can improve lives and make millions.
As founders, we get a lot of praise. The truth is that this would not have been possible without our incredible 30+ person team. We are so proud of what this team has accomplished, and are thankful to everyone that has been instrumental in Cal AI’s development and success.
Cal AI will continue as a separate app from MyFitnessPal. The combined team will share resources to continue helping people achieve their fitness goals!
Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software.
It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans.

i've been going deep in consumer AI while building my own product
a few things i keep noticing:
the stuff that works isn’t just “AI added on”
it’s AI actually removing real friction in people’s lives or making their lives better by fitting naturally into their daily routines
especially in areas like health, productivity, finance, even social validation
for distribution, people are literally studying tiktok/reels daily across regions like fresh accounts, different countries, just to see what’s working right now
then going all in on short form high volume, a bit scrappy, often AI-assisted and tweaking it per region
also interesting, instead of big influencers a lot of them use a bunch of smaller UGC creators pay them weekly + per views which feels more native and converts better
idk, still learning and probably wrong about a lot of this, these are just patterns i’ve noticed across many apps
building @memryxyz in this space
launching soon!
Got selected for the CERN Openlab Summer Student Program, heading to Geneva this summer.
Will be working on a unified observability platform to simplify debugging across large-scale distributed systems.
Just excited to learn and build at this scale 🌍
95% of saved content is never revisited.
Not because people don't care. Because saving is frictionless and remembering has no infrastructure.
Every platform optimised for the tap. Nobody built what comes after.
We did. memry surfaces what you saved before you forget why it mattered.
Everyone says agents will replace consumer apps.
But humans love browsing.
Scrolling food menus.
Exploring shows.
Comparing options.
I’d still rather order food by scrolling menus or track calories in a clean UI than ask an agent.
Browsing and clean interactive UI is part of the product.
got 50+ signups on @memryxyz 's waitlist.
for context:
memry saves your links, organises them automatically, and actually brings them back when you need them - no more saving stuff and forgetting it forever.
here's a little sneak peek at the UI 👀
This post unexpectedly got 100k views and a lot of people reached out wanting to build together.
I hopped on a few calls and decided to build memry with @artemshams, a problem I’ve personally faced for years.
I constantly save links (bookmarks, articles, things I send myself on WhatsApp/Telegram) and then completely forget to revisit them.
Eventually it just becomes a graveyard of links.
memry turns those saved links into structured knowledge: organizing them, creating a clean feed, and letting you search or even chat with your content.
Funny enough, this idea itself was a link I once sent to myself and forgot about.
Long term, memry could learn your interests and create a personalized knowledge feed across the internet, saving you hours of doom-scrolling and protecting you from brain rot + AI slop.
Also, thank you for the gold advises on my last post.
X is crazy!!
I’m honestly pretty confused right now.
One moment I see the Cal AI founder hitting $50M ARR at 19 and think maybe I should build consumer phone apps.
Then I see all the hype around OpenClaw and feel the FOMO.
Then I think I'm a developer, maybe I should build a devtool.
Then YC says “build for agents, your new customers are agents.”
Then others say “automate one full workflow with AI” and build a business like the ones on Starter Story.
Finally built a Payment Gateway for AI Agents, Stripe launches the exact same thing next week. Back to square one 🥲.
There's just so much noise.
What I do know:
I don’t want to go the VC route. I want to be profitable from day one, build something meaningful, and reach $100M in the next 3–4 years while genuinely improving people’s lives.
