A bit of context on why I built this:

3 months ago I had zero experience with any of this — no AI development, no automation, no open source. I'm a solo founder in Taiwan where smartphone penetration is nearly universal but AI adoption in daily work is still very early.

As I started building, I realized these tools can genuinely change how people work and live — not just for developers, but for small businesses and solo operators who don't have engineering teams. So I packaged what I learned into services and open-sourced the playbook.

This is also my first time posting on HN. My English isn't strong enough to write essays natively, so I use AI to help with the writing — but the ideas and intent are mine. Seemed fitting given what I'm building.

I'm not trying to sell anything here. I just want to show that you can run real operations with AI agents on zero budget, and I want to make these tools more accessible in my country.
