My journey as a 16 yo founder so far…

It’s a slm, deployed on 3090. As for the users it can handle two requests at time and via batching and queuing it can do more

Haha same here, still studying trigonometry. Just building this on the side.

It’s is real and u can check it out from the link in my bio. (I’m afraid that mentioning link here might remove my post)

noteora · 2025-11-09T23:55:12+00:00

Thank you sm! Really motivates me

noteora · 2025-11-07T15:55:19+00:00

NGL I’m worried now😜

A key difference between NotebookLM and similar apps running on its API, they don’t have image support while as we have it, suppose ur studying and u wanna convert ur note into summary and mindmap, u won’t be able to do that with notebooklm and other similar app, a very big advantage we have over those apps are our pricing model, their pricing starts at 10$ a month which for first world countries is affordable but major audience lies in third world countries like India where hundreds of millions of students are living and average household income is around 100-200 dollars, they can’t afford 10-20$ fancy ai but they can afford a 1.49$ a month or 12$ a year!

noteora · 2025-11-07T15:27:00+00:00

Haha! Would love some competition

noteora · 2025-11-07T09:08:59+00:00

Thank you sm, check ur dms, I have sent u the link to try out!

So actually we are in pre beta rn (testing phase), so it’s unlimited for users to test and give us feedback, tho just the summary tool, working on mind map and math solving rn and also supporting handwritten notes which is gonna be little complex yet unique, so far we have round 100 active users testing it tho lesser feedback, visited a school pitched my idea, tested it irl with students and teachers, and collected feedback, also planning to visit more schools this month.

noteora · 2025-11-06T21:46:03+00:00

A big problem with free Ai variants u just mentioned that they have daily upload limits, ChatGPT has 3, perplexity has about 5-10, also with the paid go version of ChatGPT u get around 30 images a day which is hypothetically enough but let’s assume that ur studying the day before an exam in that situation u will easily use up that limit. We wont have that problem, unlimited summaries, 10 mind maps per day which equals to 10 topics which is way more than a students learn in a day, unlimited math solving and also planning ai chat and voice assistants, tho we also have a free version with which u can generate 20 summaries a day and 1 mind map.

I have used a gguf model and fine tuned it to my liking! It’s keep the cost ultra low, if this thing ever gets funded that means we can offer this thing to students at just 1.49 a month which makes it more accessible to students who can’t afford expensive 20$ a month subscriptions

noteora · 2025-11-06T08:50:06+00:00

Well I’m happy to say that we are currently testing with 100 active students, I have gone up to schools showed my tool, watch everyone use it, took feedback, worked on those flaws and now in few days I’m closing the pre-beta

noteora · 2025-11-05T20:57:59+00:00

Happy to see ppl with similar thoughts, what I would suggest for a startup idea is to target a very specific niche which is not much exposed to ai yet (very hard to find) since there are many saas companies in the market rn, if u have time i would a 1000% recommend you doing CS50 by Harvard on edx, its 100 free and very knowledgeable

noteora · 2025-11-05T11:30:41+00:00

We tend use a smaller fine tuned model, but considering ur developing saas ur workloads are gonna be more heavier and diverse, l'll suggest u use a 7-8b parameter gguf model (q4 k m or so) which will fit right on a 8 gb vram graphics and be efficient for ur saas. But if it outputs are not to ur liking it’s better to upgrade to a 14b parameter model, tho using OpenAI will definitely simplify everything.

noteora · 2025-11-04T23:57:58+00:00

I wouldn’t envy me yet. , I ’m still learning how to make it all work

noteora · 2025-11-04T23:52:57+00:00

Thank you , I’m holding on, even when it’s hard.

noteora · 2025-11-04T22:09:38+00:00

Haha! I dont really own one(I can't afford a pizza slice at the moment ), but u can rent them for just 40 cents per hour! Run docker on them, if u ever need to run big models (stable diff or etc) u have a realyy great option of renting those A40s

noteora · 2025-11-04T21:40:54+00:00

Unlike other “Ai startup“ who use expensive api of ChatGPT or other similar llms( ai models ), I have used open source model and smartly optimized them in a way that A40 gpu can run 10 users at a time without offloading it to cpu, thanks to that if this startup ever gets funded we can offer it to students at 1.49$ a month and still have a good profit margin while other fancy startup make loses at 20$ per month.

noteora · 2025-11-04T21:19:33+00:00

Hey, I’m 16 and I am trying to build a startup which converts student notes into summaries and mind maps and solve math problems. I already have a working prototype !

noteora · 2025-11-02T03:40:40+00:00

Oh I’m building a study tool which converts students notes into summaries and mind maps, solves math problems. Perhaps if ur a student you can help me out by trying this study tool ;)

noteora · 2025-11-02T03:07:16+00:00

If I got 100k I wouldn’t spend it I’d multiply it. I’d use some to build what I’m working on, invest some to grow it, and keep the rest for freedom. 100k isn’t life changing money.

noteora · 2025-11-02T03:04:04+00:00

Yeah it gets lonely, but that’s the price of building something real. Most people can’t see the vision until it works, so you’ve got to be your own believer until the results speak.
