How ChatGPT Helped Me Create My Startup Idea

First of all here's a Quote to start this off

  • Man Conquers the world by conquering himself
    by Zeno of Citium

Every great startup begins with a simple idea… but how do you find that idea?

For me, the journey started with curiosity, technology, and ChatGPT.

I’m 15 years old and on a mission to build my first tech startup. But I didn’t want to create just anything—I wanted to build something useful, simple, and impactful. And that’s where this story begins.


The Struggle: Finding the “Perfect” Startup Idea

I always knew I wanted to start a tech company. But there was one BIG problem…

What should I build?

There are millions of apps out there—social media apps, AI tools, productivity apps. I wanted my product to be:

  • Something people actually need
  • Simple but effective
  • Easy to use, without unnecessary complexity
  • Something I’d use myself every day

I had too many ideas floating in my head but couldn’t decide on one. Some ideas felt too big for a solo founder , while others felt too small to be worth building .

That’s when I thought—why not ask ChatGPT?


The Brainstorming Session with ChatGPT

I opened ChatGPT and typed:

“Give me startup ideas for a simple app that solves an everyday problem.”

ChatGPT instantly generated a list of creative ideas. Some were interesting, some were weird (), but one idea caught my attention:

A simple, distraction-free task manager with built-in reminders.

At first, I thought, Wait… there are already tons of to-do apps out there. But then I realized—most task apps are:

  • Too complex – Too many features, overwhelming UI.
  • Cluttered – Tons of buttons, settings, and notifications.
  • Not fun – Just another boring checklist.

What if I built something different? A task manager that’s actually simple, effective, and fun to use?

That’s when my startup idea was born…


️ The Birth of My Startup Idea: A “Plain” To-Do App

I wanted to create a daily task and reminder app that felt like writing on a piece of paper ✍️—clean, fast, and easy.

Core Features of My App (Mega Systemz Tasker )

  • Minimalist design – No distractions, just your tasks.
  • Smart reminders – Get reminders through WhatsApp or Telegram
    (because who checks random notifications these days? I don't even check my emails).
  • Daily & Weekly Planning – Plan today, tomorrow, or the whole
    week in seconds.
  • Super Fast & Lightweight – No bloated features. Just what you
    need.

It’s not about competing with big apps like Notion or Todoist. It’s about creating something refreshingly simple.


Why This Idea is Powerful

I realized that people struggle with daily tasks because:

  • 1️⃣ They forget to check their to-do app
  • 2️⃣ They get overwhelmed by too many options ⚙️
  • 3️⃣ They procrastinate (we all do, don’t lie! )

But if I integrate reminders directly into messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, it makes task management effortless.

Instead of opening another app, you get a message like a friend reminding you.

“Hey, don’t forget to submit your project today! ”

It’s simple, non-intrusive, and actually helps people get things done.


My Vision for the Future

I don’t just want to build another to-do list app. I want to create a movement around simplicity in productivity.

  1. No unnecessary complexity
  2. No over-engineering
  3. Just clear, easy-to-use tools that help people stay productive

I imagine my app being used by students, professionals, and entrepreneurs who just need a simple way to stay on top of their tasks. (That would be so Cool )

One day, I hope to see MS Tasker(MS means Mega systemz that's my Company name) becoming a go-to tool for anyone who wants to stay organized—without the headache.


The Challenges Ahead

Building a startup at 15 isn’t easy. I know I’ll face:

  1. Balancing school and work (It's already hard as it is)
  2. Limited resources & budget
  3. People not taking me seriously

But honestly? That just motivates me more. (I'm either delusional or I'm Him)

Every problem is just a puzzle waiting to be solved. And I’m ready to tackle every challenge, one step at a time.


Final Thoughts: This Is Just the Beginning

I never thought a random Chat-GPT session would spark my first real startup idea. But here I am, building something I believe in.

If you’re someone who:

  1. ✅ Struggles with daily tasks
  2. ✅ Wants a simple way to manage reminders
  3. ✅ Hates complicated apps

Then you might love what I’m building.

This is just the beginning of my journey as a young startup founder. I’ll be sharing every step—the wins, the struggles, and everything in between.

So, if you’re reading this, THANK YOU for being part of my journey!

Wow, this is really inspiring, Matheo! At just 15, you're already thinking like a true entrepreneur. I love your approach to simplicity and making productivity effortless. The idea of integrating reminders into WhatsApp and Telegram is genius—so many people struggle with checking separate apps for tasks.

Chatgpt is really helpful in creative content creation for those interested in social media publishing to grow follower. Other AI platforms help to convert text to video/pictures for content creation.
