Quit my job in Fintech to work on my own AI startup.

I built https://FakeYou.com as a side project, and it blew up. I quit my job after I realized the potential, added monetization, and started to broaden what we do.

I've been working on https://storyteller.ai for a year and plan to launch our platform soon.

Both of these tool sets reinforce one another.

I'm hiring folks that were engineers that want to do AI instead. Please reach out! Our stack is Rust / Unreal / Pytorch / k8s.

What do you mean with "it blew up"? It sounds kind of negative, but from the next sentence it sounds positive. I'm confused.
"blew up" can be positive or negative depending on context. Generally when talking about a physical object it's negative, when talking about a personal endeavor it's generally positive.

"My server blew up" is likely negative.

"My youtube channel blew up" is likely positive, it means it went viral.

If a business blew up, it's almost certainly positive.

Thanks! Appreciate the lesson :-)
Well done!!
