How You know, last month I decided to apply to YC Summer 2025 Batch with my business idea GIBBI Speak, where GIBBI Speak is an AI Translate App that wants to translate conversation in real time with people that don’t speak nor understand the language of each other,
This is the 8th straigh time that I’ve applied to any YC Batch but until this moment I’ve not received any email from YC telling me if I pass to interview phase or if my business idea wasn’t selected for this batch, so in the while time I’m working in talking with customers, developing business plan, coding the beta app and validating the idea,
So today while I was working in this startup and creating my Tomorrow’s Newletter, I was reading that OpenAI decided to buy Jon Ive’s startup (io) for $6.5 billion, and both companies are trying to create an AI gadget with non screen and you could use it in your neck or wrist, so this gave me an idea that about to improve my GIBBI Speak App, where I could create an AI Gadget that it can help to translate the real conversation in the language of your choose,
So the idea is to first develop the GIBBI Speak App, where this app needs to have the enough features to help you to translate the conversation of the other person in the language of your choose, and later I can start to work in develope and create the GIBBI Speak Gadget (hardware) to make the same function of GIBBI Speak App but this Gadget is going to be a small device (3cm by 3cm) with non screen and only-listen function to translate a real conversation, and all the real conversation can be stored in GIBBI Speak App,
So, I’m going to keep working in develop the beta app, validate to our customers and if this works I can start to develop the GIBBI Speak Gadget, so keep any update that I have in this project I’m going to share with you,
