Thoufeek X Labs

AI engineer / founder / builder in public

I build products that sell.

I'm proving that anyone with AI, a real problem, and distribution can build something people pay for. I'm aiming for $1M in product revenue within a year.

Why I build

Build toward freedom.

I am an introvert who thinks by building. Projects have failed, markets have been wrong, and the answer has still been the same: keep trying, learn faster, and ship the next version.

My target is $1M in product revenue over the next year. I see that revenue as freedom: room to invest in companies, back builders, and help people like me grow.

01The work goes further

Useful things, in motion.

SceneSmith · ParleSprint · ReceiptVault · OnlyWriteAI — products at different points in the same experiment: build something useful, find its people, and learn what makes it move.

AI TOOLING

Use the right tool for the job.

Devin, OpenRouter, Google Stitch, MCP, HyperFrames, Next.js, SwiftUI, and Supabase are the current stack I use to move from idea to website, SaaS, native app, or creative asset.

03How I work

Build. Learn. Ship.

The product loop is not complete when the code runs. It is complete when a real person uses it, gets value from it, and is willing to pay for the outcome.

04Where I’ve been

A route through building.

The public route starts in Canada on September 9, 2023. It continues through product failures, production software, builder communities, and the work still in progress.

BUILD

Cognition / Devin

CURRENT

Community Ambassador — Ottawa

Representing Devin in Ottawa through demos, custom workflows, builder education, and hands-on experiments across coding, design, and creative work.

BUILD

AGI Ventures Canada

CURRENT

AI Engineer / Community Coordinator

LESSON

Algonquin College Co-op & Career Centre

May 2025 — Aug 2025

Founder & AI Product Developer / OnlyWriteAI

Built an AI job-search and writing workspace where people could search for jobs and edit resumes by chatting with AI. It did not find customers, but it taught me a lesson I still use: a useful product in the wrong market still fails.

START

Canada / Ottawa

Landed in Canada

Moved to Canada for its technology and business community, then started building the foundation for the work that came next.

06Questions worth answering

A little more context.

What is Thoufeek X Labs?

My personal brand and working portfolio: AI products, experiments, tool workflows, notes, and the systems I am building toward freedom.

What are you working on now?

SceneSmith for distribution, ParleSprint for guided French learning, ReceiptVault on iOS, and the community work around AGI Ventures Canada and Devin.

What AI tools do you use?

Devin, OpenRouter, Google Stitch, MCP, HyperFrames, Next.js, SwiftUI, and Supabase, chosen for the problem instead of treated like a fixed religion.

What does distribution mean here?

Getting a product in front of the right people through community, useful content, SEO, partnerships, ads, direct sales, and a publishing system that keeps learning.

Are you looking for a job?

Not in the usual sense. I am interested in high-quality builders, founders, and teams who want me inside the build process.

Can we work together?

Send a real problem, a product idea, or a build where speed, product thinking, and AI workflows matter. If there is a fit, we can talk.

What is the $1M goal?

It is a one-year product-revenue target. The freedom matters more than the number: it would let me invest in companies, back builders, and help people like me grow.

Where can I follow the work?

The project pages, notes, GitHub, LinkedIn, YouTube, and the communities I help build are the best places to see what ships next.

Thoufeek X Labs / Building toward freedom

Build something useful. Then help someone else build.

Products, experiments, distribution lessons, and the people I meet while trying to make the next build work.
