I launched Sophie yesterday on Product Hunt and wanted to share the story with this community.
The problem I was solving
I kept switching between 4 apps to do one thing:
- WhatsApp to talk to people
- ChatGPT to get answers
- Google to search things mid-conversation
- Email to share files
So I built Sophie — a chat app where AI is just already there.
What Sophie does
You chat normally. But when you need something — a quick answer, a file summary, help drafting a message — you just type @sophie. No switching tabs. No copy pasting.
Every user also gets a private room called MySophie — think out loud, ask anything, nobody else sees it.
And there are client rooms — dedicated spaces for each client where they only see what you share.
The stack
- Next.js 14
- Vercel + Vercel KV
- Anthropic Claude API
- Clerk for auth
- Capacitor for mobile (native app coming)
- Vercel Blob for file storage
What I shipped on launch day
- Discovered push notifications were broken — fixed same day
- Added a live demo on the landing page — no sign up needed, just type
- Faster message polling
- Spanish and Czech translations
Try it
You can try Sophie without signing up at meetsophie.app — there's a chat widget right on the homepage.
Would love feedback from developers especially — what would you build differently? What's missing?
