My name is Oleksandr. I’m Ukrainian entrepreneur. My city is temporarily occupied since April 2024, and my home was destroyed by the hordes of russians, so I’m temporarily in the US.
I have a technical background and worked for many years as a .NET developer. Then I left my corporate job and started a business with my wife. We built a marketplace where marketing agencies sold chatbot templates, serving 400+ marketing agencies in the US, Australia, Canada, and the EU.
A couple of years later, we built our second product, which became a much bigger success - a job search automation bot focused on US jobs. It had 2 million monthly users. Now, although usage has decreased, we’re working on recovery.
In 2023, we started working on ChatGPT plugins, becoming one of the largest publishers with around 25 plugins. In January 2024, plugins were cut back, but we had scaled to a total of 150k users by then.
This experience helped us identify some specific use cases, so we decided to build a few separate products:
instafill.ai: A PDF filler app. It automatically fills out PDF forms, working well even for large, multi-page forms. I personally used Instafill.ai to contest speeding tickets in CA.
jopilot.net: One of our first attempts to use ChatGPT in job search. It transforms free-form user queries into Elasticsearch queries to retrieve relevant job listings.
hipa.ai: A highly effective tool for blog owners that automates updates to existing blog posts. It’s built to attract Google traffic, as updated content often ranks better than new posts. Originally for internal use, but we decided to make it available to everyone—check it out.
We’re OpenAI’s level 5 partner and enjoy having early access to awesome models like o1-preview.
