Today is the day we officially launch Agent Jax on product hunt. But just before we do, I wanted to share the personal story of the 23-year journey that brought us here, and why this moment is so incredibly important to our entire team. Mine starts in a classroom in the Nilgiris district, where I first saw a computer in 9th grade. We had to take our shoes off to enter the lab, a sacred space where 40 students shared 4 machines for one hour a week. That was my introduction to the digital world, playing with MS Paint and the bricks game. I did not choose to study Computer Science Engineering out of passion; my father saw the future in it and secured me a rare seat through the management quota. My first job as a technical writer in Chennai was just after the dot com bust. But that job gave me the world. It sent me to Greece, and then to Singapore. I spent years traveling across the globe, selling a complex shipping ERP to marine and oil & gas giants. The deals were huge, but so was the problem, every new customer wanted 40-60% customization. Around 2007, a casual catchup with an ex-colleague changed everything. He mentioned his company was building a "no-code" tool. The phrase struck me like lightning. This was the answer. We excitedly pitched the idea to our management. They did not see the vision. So, we decided to build it ourselves. Five of us, driven by conviction, left our stable jobs to start a company with zero external funding. In eight months, we built a no-code platform from scratch and configured our own marine ERP on it and named ShipSmart and still being used by 100's of commercial ships all over the world. The first venture was a success, but it also came with hard lessons in partnerships. After five years, I had to step away. I moved into FinTech for the better part of a decade, always feeling the pull to build again, but waiting for the right moment. That moment came with a phone call from my co-founder. It was time. We started again, aiming to build a truly innovative no-code platform. Two years in, with early customers on board, the AI revolution began. We knew we couldn't just ignore, we had to integrate this new power. We went back to the drawing board, re-architecting our platform from the core. Building this has been the challenge of a lifetime. As a fully bootstrapped company, we have had to be incredibly resilient. There were moments we weren't sure we would make it because the models were at the nascent stage, but it was the team’s unwavering resilience and support. This 23-year journey is not just a background story, it’s what it took to build Agent Jax that explains why we have stuck to this mission for so long, we have personally felt the friction of slow, complex software development. That’s why we are so genuinely excited about this launch, and to finally share a solution that has been more than two decades in the making.
