Aloha PH Squad! 👋
I’m Elijah, co-founder and CEO of Soshi.
📖 Our Story
I’ve wanted to be an entrepreneur ever since I was a kid watching my dad run a small restaurant in Hawaii. During COVID, I saw how hard it was for him to keep things going without any real digital presence. That was the first time I really understood how brutal it can be for small, traditional businesses to adapt to tech.
In the last five years, I tried and failed at 16 different startups. I kept chasing this idea that I could build something that actually helped people like my dad. But nothing stuck.
Until a few months ago, when my best friend @mikelong10 and I built the first version of Soshi during a global AI Hackathon hosted by @supabase x @Y Combinator. (Read more here)
🏆 And We Won!
This moment was incredible, but we were really driven to build this when @paulcopplestone (CEO @ @supabase) told us this was something he actually needed and would really get value from. Paul, Ant, and the rest of the Supabase team gave me the clarity and belief I had been missing all along.
A few weeks later, I dropped my classes during my last semester at Northeastern and went all in.
At the same time, I'd been rebuilding my personal brand from scratch on X and Threads. Previously, I've grown several accounts to 30-40K+ across platforms like TikTok and X. However, starting over reminded me how much of a grind it still is. Posting daily. Researching. Engaging. It takes up all your time, and when I looked into what the market had to offer, I was simply unsatisfied. They throw you a dashboard, a set of tools, and some analytics, then just expect you to figure it out.
So we built Soshi.
📖 What's Happened Since Then?
The first feature we built not only won us the hackathon, but also got us a lot of love across platforms.
Simply put, we automated the most popular growth strategy on X known as the "reply guy" strategy.
We built an AI agent that uses a computer just like a human, logging into your account, finding relevant people and posts, then writes replies in your voice, engaging with your ideal audience, while getting smarter over time.
Then we decided to make our initial version free, and launched it 3 months ago on X:
• 800+ users
• 10,000+ replies posted
• Thousands of hours saved weekly
• Engagement from OpenAI, Cursor, Browserbase, Supabase, and more
⚡️We're Launching Our V1 For X Today (TBA, will be announced later today!)
✅ Engage:
Find and engage with the most valuable community members for your brand.
Discover high-impact tweets to boost your visibility.
Automatic replies in your voice.
Let AI doomscroll for you and save hundreds of hours.
Your research, writing, and posting done for you with a single click.
✅ Compose
Written content in your voice that actually converts.
Turn ideas into viral tweet drafts in seconds.
Manage and post hundreds of tweets with a simple approval system.
Learns your writing style the more you post with Soshi
🔜 Schedule: Automate intelligent content scheduling through targeted audience engagement patterns
🔜 Analyze: Simplify complex analytics and overwhelming data ingestion into effective performance monitoring and content strategy refinement.
More coming soon... 👀
Soshi isn’t just for creators. It’s for small teams, solo founders, and people like my dad who want to grow online without needing to hire an expert.
🫶 Some Final Words
We’re still early, but I’m proud of what we’ve built so far. If you’re building a brand or trying to grow online, I’d love to know, what would you like to see next?
If you read this far, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You.
I truly appreciate every single one of you for the support. 🙏
Much Love,
Elijah (CEO, Co-Founder @ Soshi)

Well done Elijah, many entrepreneurs are indeed lack social media skills and stuck in fruitless profile organization efforts. We just don't understand the communications and only build and build.. But you bridged the gap with your tool! I hope to see you more in the future. Great job!

This hits close to home - I've been grinding on social media growth myself and it's exhausting! Love that you're making it free initially. Quick question: beyond X, are you planning to expand to other platforms like LinkedIn or Instagram? The engagement strategy might be quite different across platforms. Also, how customizable are the targeting parameters? @Soshi
Soshi
@nicoleastor Hi Nicole! Haha we did make it free initially, but now we are -$20K and need to start monetizing 🤣 And yes, we are most definitely planning expansion in our roadmap. Our agent just needs to learn the nuances between each platform, but overall many social media platforms do have similar strategies. And as customizable as you want it to be, lol feel free to try it out yourself at noon PST!
Congrats on the launch! This is definitely super useful for people to grow on X. Got any future plans for other social media platforms?
Soshi
@ash_grover Thank you! Sadly delaying our launch until this Friday, but hope you will still support us! @ soshi.io/join We are looking to add a variety of features for X first, then cross-platform, but also focused on giving more autonomy to Soshi and letting it behave just like a real social media manager.

Soshi.io looks fantastic love how it simplifies social media engagement with smart analytics and scheduling tools. what features are you planning to introduce next, like AI-driven content suggestions or deeper platform integrations?

I love the idea of giving Claude one-click access to different platforms. Have you built in any customization for workflows, or is it more plug and play for now?
Soshi
@aarav_pittman lol this is Soshi.io
As someone who's tried to keep up with social media growth tools, this sounds like a game-changer, especially for founders and small teams. Automating engagement and content without losing your own voice? That's powerful.

Hi friends 👋,
I'm sorry. Soshi will not be launching today.
Honestly, this was an incredibly tough decision. Mike and I were nervous sending this email afraid we'd lose momentum and even your support.
See the full tweet →
Our team has been working tirelessly over the past few weeks, but the product isn't exactly up to the standards we want for you
However, I think this is ultimately the right decision.
We want you guys to truly love Soshi.
Every single one of you has been so supportive throughout this journey, and you deserve a product that won't let you down.
That said, we're still really excited for you guys to try it out, so we're announcing our new official launch date is THIS Friday, July 18!
Stay HYPED Soshi Squad, and hope to see you guys there. 🙏
Thank you again for being here (even through our slip-ups).
We won't let you down :)
Best,
Elijah (CEO) & Michael (CTO)
