nFactorial Incubator
In 2024 I was selected to nFactorial Incubator. It's one of the top Central Asian startup incubators (2.5% acceptance rate).
During the 10 weeks in Almaty, I worked on my own startup. I architected and developed an AI-driven podcast generation platform using Next.js and React, enabling users to create podcasts in English and Russian. As a result, it reached more than 1000+ users and 10+ active episodes on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
And I was nominated for Prodigy of The Year.
Demo Day
I was selected to Demo Day to present my startup in front of judges like Arsen Tomsky, Founder of inDrive, a ride-hailing service with 200 million downloads operating in more than 45 countries.
Development
I can surely say that this project was one of my biggest achievements. I used tools like Next.js, React, Redis, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, and AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT and ElevenLabs for realistic speech synthesis and voice cloning.
I orchestrated podcast, script, and audio generation workflows using message queues and CRON jobs with Qstash, ensuring efficient task execution and system scalability.
ElevenLabs really helped me to achieve high-quality podcasts, and I also managed to clone voices of Arman Suleimenov too!
