· Founder of TeachersFlow · Building the AI workspace for teachers and schools
Hi, I'm a -year-old entrepreneur from Prague, and I'm building TeachersFlow, a complete AI workspace for teachers and schools that has the full context on them and their classes.
I started programming when I was 10. At 15, I wanted to sell websites, so I taught myself the full stack (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Git, and how to ship a whole product end to end). I made websites for everyone from solo entrepreneurs to smaller companies across the Czech Republic. It taught me the foundations of business: working with clients, design, and marketing.
Not long after, while I was still building those websites and going to school, I started building TeachersFlow. It began as a small project. I saw my mum, who is a teacher, writing over a hundred pieces of individual feedback for her students, and I thought AI could make that much more efficient, so teachers can spend their time on the parts of teaching that actually need them. It was a real problem, and at the same time a chance to learn how to work with AI and how to ship full web apps.
To be able to sign contracts with companies and legally run my own business, I went to court to become emancipated.
Along the way I realized that selling services to other people wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to build something more meaningful, and TeachersFlow was exactly that.
The difference from the ChatGPT wrappers filling the space: ChatGPT answers a prompt, TeachersFlow knows your class. Specialized workspaces for each part of the job, and an agent that has all that context and can act directly inside the app.
I believe this can grow into something big and meaningfully change the education sector. Follow my journey!
