who i am
i find the AI tools worth your time, and tell you the truth about the rest.
I build AI products for a living. That’s the unfair advantage: I’m not reading the press release, I’m in the product, watching where it actually delivers and where it quietly falls short.
Every week a million people look for AI tools and get listicles written by people who never opened the app. There’s no curator. No editor. No one with taste between the audience and the noise. So I became that.
The value isn’t breadth. It’s judgement.
what i create
four kinds of content. one promise: watch this, then decide.
free tools, tested
I run the free tier until it breaks so you know exactly where the ceiling is before you spend a naira, a peso, or a minute.
honest comparisons
Paid vs free, side by side, no affiliate spin. If the free one wins, I say so. If it doesn’t, I say that too.
real workflows
Not “10 tools you should try”, the actual stack I use to ship, start to finish, so you can copy it today.
build in public
I’m shipping real AI products while I make the content. You watch the engineering, not just the highlight reel.
who i speak to
for the builders who refuse to be left behind.
Ambitious 22–35 year-old builders across the global south and diaspora, Lagos, Nairobi, Manila, London, New York, Berlin, who use free AI tools to build real careers and income.
You can’t buy ChatGPT Plus, Midjourney Pro and Canva premium all at once, and you’re tired of being told you have to. You’re not impressed by hype. You’re impressed by judgement. Same.

I’m the founder of Zela, a creator operating system.
The operating system for the creator business, brand deals, cross-platform analytics, global payments, audience growth, and a creator store, in one place.
Building it is what keeps the content honest, I’m living the same problem my audience has, at the platform level, every single day.

an ai agent just ran a ransomware operation. the scary part is not the ai
Security researchers documented the first largely autonomous AI ransomware attack. The uncomfortable lesson is not about the model. It is about a patch that sat unapplied for a year.
let’s build
want me to test your tool, or build with you?
Brand collaborations, product reviews, and creator partnerships. If it earns the airtime, I’ll say so on camera.
