Solo dev building SelfSM — content work

About

Full-stack developer building SelfSM (selfsm.com) — an AI content workflow platform for ghostwriters and small agencies: per-client voice profiles, approval flows, drafting, scheduling. Built solo, launched into beta in July 2026, building in public along the way: x.com/iudinbuilds Before this: multi-agent LLM systems, an autonomous AI QA pipeline, Web3 products. Happy to talk shop about LLM pipelines, Chrome extensions, or finding first users the hard way.

Meet Chloe, the AI assistant that now lives inside SelfSM.

Meet Chloe, the AI assistant that now lives inside SelfSM.
She exists because I failed at something simpler. I kept trying to make onboarding easy: cut steps, redesigned the flow, moved things around. Every version worked for a while, until the product grew again, the flow gained new screens, and new users were back to guessing where to start.
The fix turned out to be the most trivial idea on the list, which is probably why I tried it last: stop simplifying the map, give people a guide.
Chloe takes you from an empty workspace to a complete brand setup, weekly content plan, and first drafts in one conversation. She asks what you do, sets up the brand, and interviews you for actual experiences and opinions before generating anything. Feed her your past posts and she'll pick up your voice from them.
Two things mattered to me. First, she has access to the whole workflow: voice, strategy, weekly plans, publishing. That's 25 tools connected to the same product actions available through the UI, so most things you can do by clicking, you can now ask for in plain language. Second, when the required material is missing, she says so. I tested this on purpose: asked for a post with nothing behind it, and she refused to write it, flat out, instead of filling the gap with something generic. Publishing still requires an explicit confirmation. Chloe cannot ship anything on her own.
The old onboarding wizard stays as a fallback. I don't know yet whether new users will prefer talking to Chloe or clicking through the screens.

We just launched Artifacts by Databox - turn any answer into a shareable report

It's the end of the month. Your client needs a performance report, so you open five tools, screenshot the numbers, paste them into Google Slides, and spend two hours making it look like you didn't just paste screenshots into Google Slides.

We just made that whole process unnecessary.

When is the right time to launch on Product Hunt?

Because building products has become much more accessible thanks to AI, the bar has had to rise a bit, or at least the expectations have become stricter.

I built my own tool  SafeLimit, but personally, I wouldn t launch it on Product Hunt yet because it s still very basic and doesn t even have a website.
