REDDIT POSTS — Copy/paste these manually # Login: reddit.com/u/simply_louie / Louie2026! ## POST 1: r/SideProject Title: I charge $2/month for AI while everyone else charges $20. AMA. Body: I'm not a developer. I'm a guy with 30 years of business experience who got fed up watching AI companies price out most of the world. SimplyLouie is a $2/month AI assistant powered by Claude (by Anthropic). Same technology that powers expensive tools, 10x cheaper. Target market: students in Nigeria, freelancers in the Philippines, small business owners in Kenya. People who need AI but can't justify $20/month. 50% of revenue goes to animal rescue. Named after my rescue Saint Bernard who was neglected for 2 years before learning to love again. Site: simplylouie.com Telegram: @LouieLifeBot (free bot, no install needed) Happy to answer questions about the business model, tech stack, or why I'm doing this instead of charging more. --- ## POST 2: r/artificial Title: Built a $2/month AI assistant targeting emerging markets — lessons learned Body: I launched SimplyLouie, a $2/month AI chat assistant using Claude. Here's what I've learned targeting users in Nigeria, Philippines, Indonesia, Kenya, and Ghana: 1. Telegram is more important than a website in these markets 2. Local pricing matters — showing ₦3,200 converts better than $2 3. WhatsApp sharing is the #1 growth channel, not SEO 4. Students preparing for national exams (JAMB, KCSE, UTBK) are the highest-intent users 5. Freelancers on Upwork/Fiverr are the second-best segment Tech stack: FastAPI + SQLite + Anthropic Claude API + Stripe + Resend Server: Single DigitalOcean droplet simplylouie.com — free week trial, then $2/month --- ## POST 3: r/Entrepreneur Title: How I'm building a profitable AI business at $2/month per user Body: Everyone in AI is racing to charge more. I'm going the other direction. SimplyLouie: $2/month AI assistant. 50% to animal rescue. Targeting emerging markets. The math: - Claude Haiku API costs ~$0.20-0.50/user/month - Stripe takes ~6 cents per transaction - Server costs split across users - At scale, margin is ~70% The pitch: "ChatGPT costs ₦32,000/month in Nigeria. We cost ₦3,200." It's early (small user base), but the unit economics work and the market is massive — 4 billion people who can't afford $20/month AI tools. simplylouie.com --- ## POST 4: r/Nigeria or r/naija Title: Free AI tool for JAMB 2026 preparation — just $2/month (₦3,200) Body: If you're preparing for JAMB 2026, there's an AI tool that can help you study for less than you'd spend on suya. SimplyLouie (simplylouie.com/ng) costs ₦3,200/month and gives you: - Practice questions for any subject - Step-by-step math solutions - Essay help and grammar checking - Study schedule planning - Instant explanations of any topic It uses Claude AI (same company that powers expensive tools like ChatGPT). Free for the first week. Also available on Telegram: @LouieLifeBot ChatGPT costs ₦32,000/month. This costs ₦3,200. Same quality. --- ## POST 5: r/Upwork or r/freelance Title: I use a $2/month AI to write all my Upwork proposals — here's my method Body: I've been using SimplyLouie ($2/month AI) instead of ChatGPT ($20/month) for writing Upwork proposals. Here's my workflow: 1. Copy the job description 2. Paste it to Louie with "Write a personalized proposal for this job" 3. It outputs a tailored proposal that references specific details from the posting 4. I add 2-3 personal touches and submit The difference vs. ChatGPT: Claude (the AI SimplyLouie uses) writes more natural-sounding English. Less robotic. Clients can't tell it's AI-assisted. $2/month instead of $20. If you're freelancing from the Philippines or Nigeria, that savings matters. simplylouie.com — free week trial Or @LouieLifeBot on Telegram
