Hi Product Hunters đź‘‹ Solo founder building in AI. No grand manifestos here.

by•

Hey guys,

I’m Alfredo, a solo founder from Spain.

After years in marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship, I’m reinventing myself around AI—not as a guru, not as a casual observer, but as someone trying to turn experience into useful products.

Right now I’m building two things:

AllAi1 — because the problem is no longer finding AI tools.

The problem is knowing which ones are actually worth your time, money, and trust.

sologang.io — a pocket C-suite for solo founders.

You bring the idea sologang gives you an AI team to help you think, decide, and execute faster.

No grand manifesto. No fake “we’re changing the world” speech.

Just building, learning, testing, and trying to create useful things for people who are building on their own.

If you’re a solo founder, an AI builder, or just enjoy tinkering with early-stage products, I’d love to connect.

Thanks for having me here 🙌

Welcome, Alfredo — always good to see someone join who clearly already knows what they're building and why.

The framing around AllAi1 is interesting. The discovery problem was one thing, but trust and genuine value are a much harder filter to build — curious to see how you approach that.

I'm Brent, building Code and Sea from the UK, focusing on privacy-first software, one-time purchases, no subscriptions. My first app is Transcendence, a minimalist meditation timer. Very different waters to AI tooling, but I recognise a lot in what you've written: years of experience being channelled into something you actually believe in, built properly rather than quickly.

The solo founder path is rarely linear but it's honest work. Looking forward to seeing what you launch. đź‘‹

Hey Brent, thanks for the welcome! I really appreciate it.

You nailed the exact challenge with AllAi1. Building a filter for "trust and genuine value" is incredibly hard because hype is loud and operational friction is quiet. I'm just trying to measure what actually breaks in production rather than what sounds good on a landing page.

I deeply respect the philosophy behind Code and Sea. Privacy-first and one-off purchases show real respect for the user. It actually shares a lot of DNA with why I’m building Spaice on a "Bring Your Own Keys" (BYOK) model—so solo founders don't get bled dry by endless subscriptions and keep full control of their budget and data.

Transcendence sounds like a breath of fresh air. Different waters than AI tooling, for sure, but exactly the same mindset: building something you believe in, and building it right.

The solo path is definitely not linear, but you're right—it's honest work.

Let's definitely keep in touch! đź‘‹

   Hi Alfredo — great to see what you’re building.

I like the focus on helping solo founders execute faster with AI.

Curious, what’s your biggest bottleneck right now — building, distribution, or choosing tools?

Would love to stay in touch. What’s the best email or WhatsApp to reach you?

 - Thank for the replies, Hey Bella Bella, unfortunately I'm not a fan of WhatsApp so don't have an account - feel free to contact me , or via chat or . Just mention Product Hunt. I'b be more than happy to stay in touch to discuss being a solo indie developer/founder.

To answer your question, at the moment my main issues are probably linked to distribution - I'm trying to get beta testers for my latest I am building, as I am planning to start beta testing within the next couple of weeks. I've managed to get around a dozen potential testers sign-up, but it's been a full-time job.

The other issue, is finding tooling that does not require a subscription, I'm tired of almost every tool I use, I have to add another $20 a month or $200 per year to my costs. Yet in most cases I will, in reality maybe only use the tool every other month and also only a proportion of teh feature offered, hence my own Philospophy.

Hey there! Love the no‑fluff approach, building useful AI tools for solo founders is exactly the kind of problem‑solving I admire. AllAi1 sounds like a solid way to cut through the noise, and spaice.io could be a game‑changer for getting an AI team on demand. I'm also working on an AI‑powered flashcard app called The Sponge that turns any webpage into study material with spaced‑repetition. If you're up for it, I'm launching on PH soon... would appreciate a follow (See PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH link in my profile).

Hi !
Thanks man, really appreciate you validating the no-fluff approach. It means a lot. "The Sponge" sounds like a genuinely useful tool—turning web noise into actual structured learning is a great angle. Just checked your profile and dropped a follow. Good luck with the upcoming launch, I'll keep an eye out for it!

Hi nice to meet a fellow Solo Founder AI builder! I'm new here as well, and just learning so much from everyone. Both of your builds sound useful, something we need more of - not enough USEFUL apps for Solos/Founders. I'm working on August and September launches (2 different versions) and I'm happy to absorb all I can about launching!

Hi ! Great to meet a fellow solo founder building in the AI space. You're spot on—there's way too much noise and not enough tools that actually focus on the daily grind of a solo builder. Launching two versions in Aug/Sept sounds like a massive hustle! Since I'm opening the spaice .io closed beta next week, I'll probably break a few things and learn some hard lessons. Happy to share whatever I figure out along the way. Let's stay connected!

 Oh, wow, next week - that's exciting!! I'll be following and learning from you, lol!

Yes, September is for the original app and August is for the enterprise version - I know it seems a bit backwards but that's the plan. Can you share more about spaice.io?

Launching Enterprise first makes total sense if that's where the traction is.

About Spaice: it’s basically a pocket C-suite for solo founders. You bring a goal, and it deploys an AI team (CTO, CMO, etc.) to execute the heavy lifting in parallel. No black boxes—it does the mechanical work, but always stops to let you make the final strategic decisions.

I'll ping you when the beta opens next week.

Let's stay connected!.
Keep pushing on the prep for those Aug/Sept launches!

 That would be great - I'd love to try it out! Yup, working on it ;)

Welcome, Alfredo!

Another solo founder here as well. Both of your products sound very interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!

Hi Tom! Thanks for the welcome. Always great to cross paths with another solo founder in the trenches.

I really appreciate the interest in AllAi1 and Spaice. The solo grind is real, so it's good to connect with people who get it.

What are you building right now?
Let's stay connected! 🙌

 My first project is rather modest: I built calculators (US and UK) to help freelancers work backward from their annual income goal to what they need to charge per hour and per project. It takes into account the various state and federal taxes, billable hours per week, monthly expenses, health insurance, etc. I hope to grow it into something larger over time.

Hi Alfredo,
Nice to meet you, I'm new here as well and would love to connect :)

Hi Johnson,
Thanks a lot for reaching out. Keep in touch ;)

 Definitely, would love to :)

Hi Alfredo, Welcome!! I am also a solo founder from Dallas, TX. Love the idea of spaice .io, very interesting. Is it local device based ?

I am also building HealthOS: Helps users understand their cognitive state — load, stress, fatigue, mood, and confidence — through a 2–5 second voice clip, so you know exactly where you stand before the next big moment: a negotiation, a performance, an exam, or any moment that counts.

.

 Hey!

Apologies for the delayed response, I’ve been deep in the War Room getting everything deployed.

Thanks so much for the welcome!

To answer your question: It is not strictly local-device based (it operates as a SaaS), but it is built on a 100% agnostic, BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) infrastructure. You keep absolute control of the keys, the data routing, and the budget.

I hope to share an initial test link with the folks in this thread who want to check it out before launching on PH—that was my plan... so if I manage to get it ready, and you’d like to try it out, just let me know. If not, it’ll be next week, I HOPE!!!

Now, about HealthOS: that concept is incredibly powerful. Ironically, one of the core metrics we track in our AI Executive Layer is what we call "Cognitive Burn"... the brutal mental load of running operations solo.

Being able to quantify that load through a 2-second voice clip before a critical decision is brilliant. I could honestly use HealthOS right now in the middle of this launch!

Do you have a beta or a link where I can follow your progress?

Keep pushing!

Hey Alfredo~, the "no grand manifesto" line got me. We're a small team relaunching Capsule right now and the temptation to overclaim is real, it's refreshing to see someone just say what they're building and leave it at that. Background in marketing too so the pivot into building is something I get. Would love to see how spaice develops, the solo founder space needs better thinking tools.

 Hey Rimar thanks, that means a lot.

AI makes it dangerously easy to sound bigger than you are. I’m trying to do the opposite: say less, build more, and let real users decide if there’s something there.

Would love to see what you’re doing with Capsule too.

(spaice) is already in beta now, and I’m aiming for the public Product Hunt launch on July 1.

I’d really value your feedback before then, especially from someone who gets both marketing and the messy reality of building small.

Im in spain too in valencia lets connect

Hey everyone, sorry for the long silence here. Head down building.

Launching tomorrow đź–¤

Two months ago I opened this thread while sologang.io was still half-built. Tomorrow it goes live.

What it does: you recruit a six-role C-suite (CTO, CMO, CFO, COO, CIO, Chief of Staff) that runs on your own keys. BYOK, your models, zero markup on your AI spend.

Then they work your venture, wherever it is. Idea with no starting point. MVP with no users. Or a launched product where the backlog buried you. They read your real stage, diagnose the bottleneck, and hand you a prioritized sequence instead of chaos.

And they execute. Real actions in your connected tools, GitHub and Slack live now, with more landing fast. Everything staged in your war room, waiting for your sign-off. Nothing runs without you.

Order out of chaos, then forward.

Launching July 23rd, alongside OpenAI Day. Around all day for questions and brutal feedback.

 The approach is interesting because it keeps model choice and spending under the founder’s control. Do most users already come with their provider accounts and API keys set up, or do some need help choosing and arranging model access before they can get started?

 Honest answer: I launched this morning, so I don't have enough users yet to tell you what the split looks like. Ask me again in a month and I'll have real numbers.

What I expected when designing it: most solo founders building anything technical already have at least one provider account, usually OpenRouter, OpenAI or Anthropic. The friction isn't getting a key, it's the moment where you paste it somewhere and wonder what happens to it. That's why keys are encrypted and device-bound, and why the billing goes straight to your provider with zero markup from us. You can check your own dashboard and see exactly what your crew cost you.

For anyone who doesn't have a key yet, that's genuinely a gap. Right now the onboarding assumes you can get one, which is a fair assumption for the technical half of my audience and a bad one for the rest. If that turns out to be a common blocker, it's the first thing I'll fix.

Which side are you on, out of curiosity? If you'd have needed help arranging access, that's exactly the signal I need.

 That makes sense, especially for the more technical side of your audience. I was looking at it more from the onboarding angle than as a typical user, whether getting model access could become an unexpected blocker for less technical founders. It sounds like the next month should give you a much clearer signal on that. 

 That's a fair angle to check, though it's less of a blocker than it might look. During recruitment, when you pick a model there's a button that takes you straight to the right page to get a key for that specific provider. So it's not "go figure it out", it's one click to the right place.

Where a genuinely non-technical founder could still stall is on the provider's side: their signup, their billing setup. That part is out of my hands, but I could do more to prepare people for what they'll find when they get there.

Either way, your instinct is right that it's worth watching. The next month should tell me whether it's a real drop-off point or a theoretical one.

Hey Alfredo, appreciate the simplicity in this post. Both of your initiatives sound awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you build!

thanks a lot for your warm words. sologang was launched 12h ago, so you can take a look right now. Then feel free to send feedback to me.

 Absolutely. Preparing for my upcoming launch has kept me preoccupied.

Congratulations on the launch. I will check out Sologang.
