Founder, Memolio - books from real lives

About

I run Memolio from Innsbruck, Austria — a one-person company making illustrated hardcover books about real people's lives. Families answer questions about a grandparent and share old photos; AI writes the story from their real answers and paints every page with the actual faces. Nothing prints until the family has edited and approved every page. I'm not a classically trained developer — I've built the whole pipeline solo with AI tools and a lot of stubbornness, and I think that's now a legitimate way to build a company. First launch here is September 9th. Mostly I'm around to learn from people who've done this before, and happy to talk shop about AI image pipelines, print-on-demand, or selling physical products from the EU.

Do you use coding agents from the terminal or from the app?

I m curious how people are actually using coding agents today.

Do you mostly use them directly in the terminal, or through an app/interface like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.?

What is BAD vs. GOOD AI judgement?

Would love to hear thoughts.
Here's my perspective.
I'm against AI slop, but I'm not against AI. I believe AI is a great tool but it also needs greats pilots to use it well. This is what I'm working on. AI Fluency.

Biggest marker of AI fluency is AI judgement. Where and when to use AI and where and when not to.

BAD AI JUDGEMENT

What made you choose Product Hunt and not one another

What made you guys choose Product Hunt over other launch websites, and did you got good stats/traffic with it ?

And what alternatives did you used for your launches ?
