BrainStorm AI

I spent a year building my first app in my spare time

BrainStorm AI started with a personal problem.

I’m Matthew, a self-taught developer who builds software in my spare time outside of my full-time job. About a year ago, I started working on BrainStorm AI — my first app launch.

The idea came from my own struggles. I have a terrible memory and often forget important details from meetings. Taking notes while trying to stay focused during conversations was always difficult, and I wished there was a way to capture everything automatically and turn it into something useful afterward.

So I decided to build the tool I wished existed.

Over the next year, I worked on BrainStorm AI in my spare time using Flutter, learning as I went and gradually turning the idea into a real product. Every part of the process was a challenge, but seeing the app slowly come to life made it worth it.

BrainStorm AI helps turn conversations into something actionable. Using in-app voice calls, the app can automatically generate:

  • Summaries

  • Notes

  • Action items

  • Tasks

Everything stays organized in one place, without storing any voice data once it has been analyzed.

During development, BrainStorm AI was also accepted into Google for Startups, which was an exciting milestone for a solo developer building their first product.

Seeing the app finally live and available to download has been surreal. My goal is simple: help people capture ideas, conversations, and tasks automatically — so they don’t have to rely on memory or scattered notes.

I’m also currently working on a second app inspired by one of my hobbies: rock climbing.
