RemiMinderAI

I didn’t plan to become a solo builder. I got laid off, and like most people, I thought I’d quickly land another role and move on. But somewhere in the uncertainty, I started doing something I hadn’t done in years - I started building.

Not with funding. Not with a team. Just free-tier tools, curiosity, and a stubborn need to stay useful.

Experimenting instead of waiting

At first, it was just small experiments. Using whatever free tools I could find, I started testing ideas just to see what was possible. That slowly turned into real prototypes:

• A small claims guidance app to help people understand and navigate court processes

• A Selenium automation concept to convert test cases into CI/CD-ready flows

• And an AI-based productivity assistant idea (early version work, still evolving)

Nothing was perfect. Everything was early. But all of it was real. I want to be transparent about this part. I’m actively looking for a job to pay the bills while continuing to build on the side. I’m not in the “fully funded startup founder” stage. I’m in the “do both because I have to” stage. But I realized something important that if I wait for stability before building, I may never build at all. So I stopped waiting.

Now things are shifting

What started as random prototypes is slowly becoming more structured. I’ve now reached a point where I can’t do everything alone anymore. So I’m starting to:

• Stabilize early prototypes

• Bring in developers and consultants where needed

• Move from “hacking ideas together” → “building something real”

Still bootstrap. Still scrappy. Just more intentional now.

Why RemiMinderAI keeps pulling me back

Out of everything I’ve worked on, one idea keeps sticking: RemiMinderAI.

It’s deeply personal.

It’s focused on helping families understand and retain what happens in medical visits especially when information gets lost, misunderstood, or forgotten. I’ve seen how real this problem is. And I don’t think it’s solved well today. That’s the one I can’t walk away from.

Lessons Learned

A few honest lessons so far:

• Free-tier tools can get you much further than expected

• Speed matters more than perfection early on

• You can’t build everything alone forever

• And not every idea deserves equal emotional energy

Most importantly: building while unemployed is messy—but it forces clarity fast.

Where I am now

Right now I’m:

• Job hunting to stay financially stable

• Continuing to build and iterate prototypes

• Starting to work with developers/consultants for scale and stability

• And focusing deeper on the ideas that actually matter long-term

I don’t know exactly where this ends up. But I know I’m not going back to just “waiting for the next job.” I’m building through it.

I’ve been building a small early-stage app called RemiMinderAI, and I’d love some honest feedback from this community.

The idea came from a pretty real problem — managing care for parents or loved ones can get overwhelming fast. Doctor visits, medications, instructions… things slip through the cracks.

So, I’m trying to solve one simple thing:

👉 Turn doctor–patient conversations into clear, simple summaries + reminders using AI

👉 Make it easy to share that info with family/caregivers so everyone stays aligned

Nothing fancy just trying to reduce the “wait, what did the doctor say again?” moments.

I’m opening a small beta right now, and I’m not looking for perfect users. Just real people who relate to things like:

👉 Helping manage care for a parent or family member

     👉 Forgetting or mixing up meds / appointments

    👉 Wanting simple summaries instead of medical jargon

   👉 Or just curious about early AI tools

If you’re interested in trying it, you can join the beta here I’ll send the Play Store access once you’re added.

Appreciate any feedback even brutally honest ones. That’s what actually makes this useful 🙏
