ASK AI

Democratizing access to the world’s most powerful AI through a unified, high-performance ecosystem. As a solo self-taught engineer, I took Ask AI from concept to production in 60 days, acquiring 7,000+ users and 1,000+ Play Store downloads in its first 14 days. 🚀 Market Traction & Disruption Rapid Scale: Reached 7,000 active users within two weeks of deployment. Price Disruption: Strategically priced at $12.99/mo, Ask AI provides GPT-5.2, Grok 3, and Gemini Pro—offering a unified intelligence model for less than the cost of a single standard subscription ($20+). 🛠️ Technical Engineering Build Multi-Model Auto-Routing: Engineered a logic-based router that dynamically switches between GPT-5.2, Grok 3, & Gemini Pro based on task complexity with 2-way Podcast downloadable chats as well as handsfree voice chat Knowledge Base (RAG): Implemented a persistent Retrieval-Augmented Generation system. Users upload project folders, PDFs, & ZIPs, enabling the AI to "enter" documents for contextual query resolution (e.g., retrieving data points buried in massive files). Ultra-Reasoning Engine: Launched a tier featuring o1 Pro and GPT-5.2 Pro for Ph.D.-level logic and multi-step problem-solving. Voice-to-Sync Intelligence: Developed hands-free voice interaction with automated transcription, summarization, & organized cloud-sync storage. Real-Time Data: Integrated Tavily API for live web/market searches and localized news via a "Command Center." 💻 Interactive UX & Localization Live Canvas: Built an interactive split-screen environment for real-time HTML/React editing with instant code updates & zero refresh delays. Internationalization: Localized the UI/UX to 26 languages for immediate global reach. Identity & Security: Robust architecture utilizing Firebase, Google OAuth, and Stripe API for secure sync and tiered subscription management. 📈 Strategic Scale Seeking Strategic Partnerships or Pre-Seed Investment to scale GPU infrastructure and accelerate iOS deployment.

AskSary: The All-in-One AI Powerhouse Built for Everyone<h3>The Story Behind the Name: Moving from Generic to Personal</h3>For a long time, this project was known as "Ask AI." While the name was functional, it lacked the soul and identity of the work going on behind the scenes. In a market flooded with generic "wrappers," I wanted to build something that stood for accountability, passion, and elite performance.My name is Sary, and AskSary is my personal commitment to creating the most powerful, accessible, and user-centric AI workspace available today. By rebranding, I’m shifting from a faceless utility to a founder-led platform where your feedback directly drives the roadmap. I’ve spent years in the world of high-performance vehicle software tuning, and I’ve brought that same obsession with "peak performance" to the world of Artificial Intelligence.<h3>The Intelligence Engine: Intelligent Auto-Routing</h3>The most important feature of AskSary isn't just that it has the best models—it’s how it uses them.With our proprietary Intelligent Auto-Routing, you no longer have to guess which model is best for your task. AskSary’s "Brain" analyzes your prompt in real-time and autonomously routes the query to the model best suited to answer it. Whether it’s the creative reasoning of GPT 5.2, the real-time edge of Grok, or the analytical depth of Gemini Pro, AskSary ensures you get the highest quality output every single time without you having to lift a finger.<h3>Unmatched Model Access</h3>Why subscribe to five different platforms when you can have the entire frontier of AI in one place?<ul><li>GPT 5.2: Unrivaled reasoning and creative output.</li><li>Grok: Real-time information with a unique, unfiltered perspective.</li><li>Gemini Pro: Google’s high-speed, high-accuracy heavyweight.</li><li>Luma Dream &amp; DALL-E 3: Professional-grade video and image generation integrated directly into your workflow.</li></ul><h3>Built for Power Users &amp; Creators</h3>AskSary is designed to be a complete productivity ecosystem, moving far beyond simple chat:<ul><li>Project ZIP Analysis: Upload entire project ZIP files for deep-dive analysis. Whether it's a codebase or a massive research project, AskSary digests the whole context at once.</li><li>Real-Time Editable Coding Canvas: A dedicated space to build, edit, and refine code alongside the AI. Perfect for developers who need more than just a chat box.</li><li>Autonomous Research &amp; Web Search: When the answer isn't in the training data, AskSary autonomously searches the internet for real-time data, verifying facts and providing up-to-the-minute insights.</li><li>Advanced Knowledge Base: Create your own "External Brain" by uploading documents and data. AskSary learns your specific context to provide hyper-relevant answers.</li><li>Document Studio: Create documents from scratch, convert between formats, and manage your files all within the AskSary interface.</li><li>Audio Analysis: Upload audio files for transcription, summarization, or deep analysis. From meeting recordings to podcasts, AskSary understands what it hears.</li></ul><h3>A Personalized, Sensory Experience</h3>AI should feel like it belongs to you. We’ve focused heavily on the "feel" of the application:<ul><li>Siri-Style Hands-Free Chat: Interact with AskSary naturally using your voice. Supported in 26 languages, it’s the ultimate eyes-free assistant for when you’re on the move.</li><li>2-Way AI Podcasts: Turn any topic or document into an interactive, two-way audio conversation. It’s a revolutionary way to learn and consume information.</li><li>Live Wallpapers &amp; UI Customization: Your workspace, your vibe. Customize the interface with stunning live wallpapers and deep UI tweaks to make AskSary truly yours.</li></ul><h3>The Pricing Revolution</h3>I believe powerful technology should be accessible, not gatekept by corporate pricing.<ul><li>The Free Tier: Access GPT-5 Nano and Gemini for free. No credit card, no barriers.</li><li>Premium Access: For a flat rate of $12.99/month, you get the full suite—Grok, GPT 5.2, ZIP uploads, Audio analysis, and more.</li><li>The Rebrand Discount: To celebrate the launch of AskSary, use code ASKSARY25 for 25% off all plans. This brings the cost of the world’s most powerful AI models to less than $10/month.</li></ul><h3>Final Thoughts</h3>AskSary is the result of a solo developer trying to fix a fragmented industry. It’s built for the builders, the thinkers, and the curious. I’m constantly refining the "tuning" of this system to make sure it’s the fastest, smartest, and most personal AI tool you’ve ever used.What do you think of the name? I’m building this in the open and I’d love your feedback as we evolve from Ask AI to AskSary.
