How ChatGPT Helped Me Create My Startup Idea π‘π
First of all here's a Quote to start this off
Man Conquers the world by conquering himself - by Zeno of Citium
Every great startup begins with a simple ideaβ¦ but how do you find that idea? π€
For me, the journey started with curiosity, technology, and ChatGPT. ππ»
Iβm 15 years old and on a mission to build my first tech startup. But I didnβt want to create just anythingβI wanted to build something useful, simple, and impactful. And thatβs where this story begins.
π‘ The Struggle: Finding the βPerfectβ Startup Idea
I always knew I wanted to start a tech company. But there was one BIG problemβ¦
π What should I build?
There are millions of apps out thereβsocial media apps, AI tools, productivity apps. I wanted my product to be:
β
Something people actually need
β
Simple but effective
β
Easy to use, without unnecessary complexity
β
Something Iβd use myself every day
I had too many ideas floating in my head but couldnβt decide on one. Some ideas felt too big for a solo founder π’, while others felt too small to be worth building π.
Thatβs when I thoughtβwhy not ask ChatGPT? π
π€ The Brainstorming Session with ChatGPT
I opened ChatGPT and typed:
π βGive me startup ideas for a simple app that solves an everyday problem.β
ChatGPT instantly generated a list of creative ideas. Some were interesting, some were weird (π), but one idea caught my attention:
π A simple, distraction-free task manager with built-in reminders.
At first, I thought, Waitβ¦ there are already tons of to-do apps out there. But then I realizedβmost task apps are:
β Too complex β Too many features, overwhelming UI.
β Cluttered β Tons of buttons, settings, and notifications.
β Not fun β Just another boring checklist.
What if I built something different? A task manager thatβs actually simple, effective, and fun to use? π€―
Thatβs when my startup idea was bornβ¦
π οΈ The Birth of My Startup Idea: A βPlainβ To-Do App
I wanted to create a daily task and reminder app that felt like writing on a piece of paper βοΈβclean, fast, and easy.
π Core Features of My App (MS Tasker π)
π― Minimalist design β No distractions, just your tasks.
π Smart reminders β Get reminders through WhatsApp or Telegram (because who checks random notifications these days? I don't even check my emails π).
π
Daily & Weekly Planning β Plan today, tomorrow, or the whole week in seconds.
β‘ Super Fast & Lightweight β No bloated features. Just what you need.
Itβs not about competing with big apps like Notion or Todoist. Itβs about creating something refreshingly simple. π
π Why This Idea is Powerful
I realized that people struggle with daily tasks because:
1οΈβ£ They forget to check their to-do app π
2οΈβ£ They get overwhelmed by too many options βοΈ
3οΈβ£ They procrastinate (we all do, donβt lie! π)
But if I integrate reminders directly into messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, it makes task management effortless.
Instead of opening another app, you get a message like a friend reminding you. π©
βHey, donβt forget to submit your project today! πβ
Itβs simple, non-intrusive, and actually helps people get things done. πͺ
π My Vision for the Future
I donβt just want to build another to-do list app. I want to create a movement around simplicity in productivity.
πΉ No unnecessary complexity
πΉ No over-engineering
πΉ Just clear, easy-to-use tools that help people stay productive
I imagine my app being used by students, professionals, and entrepreneurs who just need a simple way to stay on top of their tasks. (That would be pretty cool π)
One day, I hope to see MS Tasker becoming a go-to tool for anyone who wants to stay organizedβwithout the headache.
π’ The Challenges Ahead
Building a startup at 15 isnβt easy. I know Iβll face:
π
Balancing school and work (I'm been held by a thread)
π° Limited resources & budget
π€ People not taking me seriously
But honestly? That just motivates me more. π₯ (I'm either delusional or I'm just HIM)
Every problem is just a puzzle waiting to be solved. And Iβm ready to tackle every challenge, one step at a time.
π Final Thoughts: This Is Just the Beginning
I never thought a random Chat-GPT session would spark my first real startup idea. π But here I am, building something I believe in.
If youβre someone who:
β
Struggles with daily tasks
β
Wants a simple way to manage reminders
β
Hates complicated apps π«
Then you might love what Iβm building. π
This is just the beginning of my journey as a young startup founder. Iβll be sharing every stepβthe wins, the struggles, and everything in between.
So, if youβre reading this, THANK YOU for being part of my journey! π (It fuels my motivation)

Hee, as I'm also a student in my last year at school, I can't help but get how difficult it can be to work besides everything else (school, work-study etc).
So great work for being motivated ! And I can't wait to follow your journey (you'll probably make me motivating myself to also keep working :o)
yeslet's push each other on
Link?
I'm still working on the App and I will get back to you thank you for commenting π«‘
