Friends, I want to share my story of how I started creating my own projects. This will be a simple and honest account of the first steps in entrepreneurship 👇

About six months ago, I was seized by the desire to create my own products. I wanted to start with something small and understandable, and the only thought spinning in my head was: Telegram bots. I understood what they were, but I had no idea how to make them well.

To be fair, I wrote my first Telegram bot much earlier – a simple translator bot based on the DeepL API. However, it only worked for one user at a time and periodically sent messages to the wrong user 🤣

In July '24, I decided to get serious and attended an intensive course on creating GenAI bots with Aleron. That's where my first full-fledged project was born - an AI stylist for trying on outfits. Initially, I planned to make it in the MiniApp format, but I had to abandon that idea due to my lack of frontend knowledge.

The bot turned out simple, with a small variety of outfits. But it was this bot that brought me my first payments from real users – for me, that was a real breakthrough.
