MATEXAi

Built by One Person,
Made for Everyone

The story of how MATEXAi came to life—and why I built it

Hi, I'm Ajay Sharma 👋

I built MATEXAi by myself. No team, no investors, just me and a laptop. I'm a developer who got tired of paying $20-50/month for AI tools that I only used a few times a week. It didn't make sense.

So I asked myself: What if AI was actually affordable? What if students could try AI tools without a credit card? What if developers could get coding help for less than a coffee subscription? What if paid plans gave you real value instead of artificial limits?

That's how MATEXAi started. Not as a grand vision or a startup pitch. Just as a simple idea: offer a free tier to try it out, and keep paid plans affordable for regular people.

"I wanted to build something I'd actually use myself—affordable, honest, and actually useful."

— Ajay Sharma, Creator of MATEXAi

Every line of code in MATEXAi was written by me. Every feature was designed with real users in mind—students cramming for exams, developers debugging at 2 AM, creators making social media content, writers trying to sound more human.

I'm not trying to build the next billion-dollar company. I'm trying to build something that actually helps people. That's it. That's the whole story.

What I'm Building Towards

The Journey So Far

July 2025
The Idea
Got frustrated paying $40/month for ChatGPT Plus when I only used it a few times. Started researching if I could build something more affordable.
August 2025
First Prototype
Built the first version—just basic chat with Gemini. Ugly UI, lots of bugs, but it worked. Showed it to a few friends. They actually used it.
September 2025
Adding Features
Added DeepSeek for coding, image generation, study tools, and text humanization. Each feature was built because someone asked for it or I needed it myself.
October 2025
Public Launch
Launched MATEXAi to the public. Still rough around the edges, still learning, but people are using it and it's helping them. That's what matters.
Today
Continuous Improvement
Working every day to make it better. Fixing bugs, adding features, listening to users. This is just the beginning.

⚠️ A Note About MATEX03 (Beta)

MATEX03 is my AI app builder. It's experimental and in beta. I'm being honest with you: it's not ready for production use. Use it for learning and simple projects only.

✅ Great For:

  • Learning to code and understanding programming
  • Quick prototypes and mockups
  • Simple personal projects (todo apps, calculators)
  • Experimenting with ideas

❌ Not For:

  • Production apps used by real users or businesses
  • Critical systems (healthcare, finance, security)
  • Commercial projects you plan to sell
  • Anything mission-critical

Why I'm telling you this: Because I'd rather be honest upfront than have you discover limitations later. MATEX03 will get better over time, but right now, it's best for learning and simple projects.

What Makes MATEXAi Different

💰

Honest Pricing

No hidden fees. No "enterprise plans." No "contact sales." You see the price, you know what you get. And there's always a free tier because I believe everyone should have access to AI.

🛠️

Built by a User, For Users

I use MATEXAi every single day. Every feature exists because I needed it or someone asked for it. No pointless features just to check boxes on a marketing slide.

Fast Updates

No corporate bureaucracy. When users report bugs or request features, I can ship updates quickly. Being a solo developer has its advantages—I can move fast.

🔒

Privacy Focused

I don't sell your data. I don't train AI models on your conversations. Your chats stay private. That's a promise I'll never break, no matter how big MATEXAi gets.

🎯

No Vendor Lock-In

Cancel anytime, no questions asked. Export your data whenever you want. I'm not interested in trapping you with contracts or making it hard to leave.

📧

Real Human Support

Email me directly. No chatbots, no ticket systems, no "we'll get back to you in 3-5 business days." Just me, reading your email and actually helping.

What's Coming Next

Things I'm actively working on

Mobile App

Native iOS and Android apps for better mobile experience. Use MATEXAi on the go.

Voice Input

Talk to AI instead of typing. Perfect for when you're on the move or prefer speaking.

Team Plans

Share subscriptions with classmates or coworkers. Split the cost, keep it affordable.

More AI Models

Adding more AI models so you can choose what works best for your needs.

MATEX03 Improvements

Making the AI app builder more reliable and useful for students learning to code. Better code generation, fewer bugs, easier to use.

Study Features

More tools specifically for students - better flashcard organization, quiz analytics, and study progress tracking.

No timeline promises—I ship when features are ready, not when a roadmap says so.

Common Questions

Why should I trust a solo developer?

Fair question. You shouldn't trust anyone blindly. But here's the thing: big companies change, get acquired, or pivot. I'm building MATEXAi because I use it myself. My reputation is directly tied to this product. If MATEXAi fails, that's on me. That's a powerful motivator to do things right.

What if you stop maintaining it?

I'm not planning on it, but life happens. If I ever need to shut down, I'll give users at least 3 months notice, provide full data exports, and recommend alternatives. I won't just disappear.

How do you keep prices so low?

No office, no employees, no investors to please. I run MATEXAi efficiently. I also pay for API usage as I go, which keeps costs predictable. When I save money, I pass those savings to users.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. I use Google Cloud's security infrastructure. I don't have access to your password (thanks to Firebase Auth), and I don't train AI models on your chats. Your privacy matters.

Can I request features?

Absolutely. Email me at matexaihelppppp@gmail.com with your ideas. I can't promise to build everything, but I read every suggestion and prioritize features that help the most users.

Do you have investors?

Nope. MATEXAi is bootstrapped—funded by user subscriptions, not venture capital. This means I answer to users, not investors demanding exponential growth.
