The Bolt.new hackathon may be over… but for us, it was just the beginning. What started as a last-minute solo project idea turned into a functioning, collaborative AI-powered tool that could reshape how people learn creative software. OmniVeo isn’t just an experiment anymore. It’s a real product, and we’re fully committed to bringing it to the world.
What’s Next
We’re now entering the next chapter: turning OmniVeo into a real business.
We’re working on:
-Validating with real users in creative fields—especially beginners and career switchers.
-Raising our first $10K in pre-seed funding to cover infrastructure and operating costs.
-Improving our RAG database and support across 12 creative tools.
-Testing pricing models based on usage and token-based AI limitations.
-Launching a limited-access beta for creators and learners worldwide.
We’ve already submitted for a few grants and are building a GoFundMe to help sustain the backend costs while we validate. Long-term, we aim to integrate with platforms like Fiverr, Gumroad, or even Adobe—to help creators not only learn but earn.
What I Learned
Before this, I had never led a dev team. I wasn’t even a developer. I’m a junk hauler who designs skateboard decks on Canva.
But this month changed me.
I learned how to:
• Scope and pitch a product from scratch
• Recruit international teammates and coordinate across time zones
• Handle real technical pipelines—from Gemini Vision to ElevenLabs, Supabase, n8n, and Bolt.new
•Deal with burnout, deadlines, pivots, crashes, and last-minute miracles
Most importantly, I learned to believe in my own ideas—even if I don’t have the full technical skill set. With the right team, the right platform, and the right problem, you can build something that matters.
The Real Win
We didn’t build OmniVeo just to compete. We built it because we needed it. I needed it.
And now, seeing it come to life, I realize the true value wasn’t in submitting with 8 minutes left. The real win is that we now have a shot at solving a real pain point for millions of people trying to learn powerful tools—and giving them a mentor that sees, understands, and adapts.
The hackathon gave us the push. Now it’s time to keep building.
