MY MAIN PRODUCT

Everything you need.
Nothing forgotten.

Remember what you need while it’s on your mind. Send a message or voice note to Groceries, open your list at the shop, and check off what you buy — all in Telegram.

I’m testing it with my family and people I know during everyday shopping.

Before you start

Can I use it on my own?

Yes. Your personal list includes voice input, product photos, notes, categories, and purchase history. Invitations are optional.

Do I need to open the Mini App?

No. Add items by text or voice in the bot and use “List in chat” to check off purchases. The Mini App is another way to browse and manage your list.

Can I invite someone later?

Yes. Share an invitation from “Family”. Your existing list stays in place; the other person gets access after accepting.

NEXT EXPERIMENT · PLANNED CLAUDE PILOT

Take a photo.
Review the matches.
Keep the history.

The next step is to read a receipt, match its abbreviated names to your shopping list, and suggest what’s been bought. You confirm before the list changes.

Claude is not integrated yet. This is the pilot I plan to build and test with my family.

HOW I BUILD

Find the problem.
Make something useful.

I like getting close to the problem: narrowing the scope, talking to people, and testing a working version in everyday use.

  1. Understand

    Look at what people do today and where the friction is. Choose a concrete problem to work on.

  2. Build small

    Make the smallest working version that can test the idea. Use AI agents where they help with development.

  3. Learn from use

    Try it with real people, examine what helps, and decide what deserves the next iteration.

My background is 10+ years in software engineering. Today I’m exploring how AI agents can support product development, while building my own consumer products and staying responsible for the important decisions.

PRODUCT QUESTIONS & COLLABORATIONS

Have a concrete
problem in mind?

I’m open to small, focused product projects alongside my own work: clarify the problem, build an MVP, and test it. Handover or ongoing support can be agreed together.
