Hello, I’m 17 years old and I built a research platform by teaching myself.

First, let me briefly talk about myself. When I was in middle school, I had to drop out due to financial problems, and I worked for years in jobs I didn’t like. Since I was a child, I’ve always been interested in software and computers, but no one helped me and I had no one behind me. I even developed software and Velo in secret from my environment and family. Software is not a hobby or a toy for me, it’s a way out. I was only able to get my first computer at the age of 17. I developed Velo in 5 months with the help of AI models. I’m not very good at coding; my real skill is telling AI what to do and building systems. During my school years, I was bullied and excluded a lot, but I didn’t give up.
Let me briefly talk about Velo.
Velo does research with 5 agents. It has both normal research and deep research. It has a comparison feature that clearly compares two things, and a tracking feature where you can follow something and get notified every 6 hours. All reports are in one place, you can chat within reports, and you can export them as PDF and share them. My goal is to save people time and free them from messy, unreliable information.
Velo reached 5 users in 2 days, and there are users from countries like Poland, France, and Turkey.
I work as a tea server, I take care of animals when I get home, and in the evenings I develop Velo.
When you first enter Velo on mobile web, the features in the hamburger menu may not open, but if you switch to desktop mode, everything works. I’m currently working on fixing this issue. I’m still a beginner, so there may be some bugs and problems in Velo, please forgive them. I’m open to criticism, you can write in the comments, and as a young visionary, I will do my best link:
