Bootstrapping My Way to AI: Our Struggle for Traction and Support

Our company, Web321, is creating new tools based on the OPEN AI API. Our goal is to supercharge websites and apps with artificial intelligence. We have built WordPress plugins that create content, improve search, and add chat features. We are also working on standalone apps for customer support, data analysis, and task automation.

The journey is tough. Getting traction and support has been a challenge. Many people see AI as something far off or hard to understand, packed with the potential for superstition. We believe that AI can solve real problems today. AI tools can help in healthcare, education, and even environmental protection. But we need help to keep going.

We are trying to bootstrap this project, branding the work in progress as "initiatives." We need funds to build and grow. We are asking for supporters to buy us some dev time via a Paypal payment link. What we're doing isn't all that different from how Kickstarter and IndieGogo go-- but with a lower profile. With
support, we can spend less time on client work and more time on making these products better. Early contributions can make a real difference. They can help us develop tools that bring value to everyday people.

One of our products, Diary Insights, is already live. It helps users track habits and find patterns in their lives. We need to grow its features and reach more users. We need funds to make this happen.

If people support us, they get early access to new features. They also get to be a part of our mission to use AI to solve real-world problems. We want to bring more value to more people, and supporters can help us do that.

Every bit of support matters. Whether it’s a small financial contribution or sharing a link to our work: it all helps. With your help, we can focus on building something that makes a difference.

If you believe in our vision, we ask for your support. Together, we can build AI tools that bring change, improve lives, and create a positive impact.
