CLOSE READER

En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor. Una olla de algo más vaca que carnero, salpicón las más noches, duelos y quebrantos los sábados, lentejas los viernes, algún palomino de añadidura los domingos, consumían las tres partes de su hacienda. El resto della concluían sayo de velarte, calzas de velludo para las fiestas con sus pantuflos de lo mismo, los días de entre semana se honraba con su vellori de lo más fino. Tenía en su casa una ama que pasaba de los cuarenta, y una sobrina que no llegaba a los veinte, y un mozo de campo y plaza, que así ensillaba el rocín como tomaba la podadera.

How we make them

Every product starts as a hypothesis. The market decides what stays.

Step 1

Idea

A problem people already struggle with — small enough to ship this month.

Step 2

Launch

We ship in days, with AI agents doing the work of a whole team.

Step 3

Test with ads

We run ads across different channels and measure how each performs: does it monetise, do the unit economics hold, is there organic interest.

Step 4

Keep or rebuild

What people use and pay for gets our full time. What doesn’t gets rebuilt around a new hypothesis.

In reshoots

These two met real audiences and showed us what to fix. We pulled them for reshoots around new hypotheses — not to shelve them.

Breathe out. Start small.

oshn
meditation

oshn-ai presents · an AI meditation written around your mood · back after the reshoots

An iPhone app that wrote a meditation around your mood, in a dozen languages.

Notes from the test screening

Most people left at sign-up, before their first practice. The next cut starts with the practice, not the account.

Say it better. In one keystroke.

REPHRASE

oshn-ai presents · a macOS prompt editor · ⌘⇧I in any app · back after the reshoots

A macOS menu-bar app that improved any AI prompt with one shortcut.

Notes from the test screening

AI tools started polishing prompts on their own. We’re looking for the part of the job they still leave to people.

Questions from the audience

What is oshn-ai?

A small AI product studio led by founder Ilia Ilinskii. We make AI products, launch them fast and put our time into the ones people actually use. Now showing: Close Reader and Const.

What is Close Reader?

An AI e-book reader for iPhone, iPad and Android. Select a word or passage to get a translation, a reminder of who a character is, or an explanation — and ask questions about the book. Answers come only from what you've already read, so there are no spoilers. It's in closed beta and coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

What is Const.?

A personal AI agent that the Const. team builds and runs for you. It lives in the messenger you already use — WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Slack or email — and connects to the sources and systems other assistants can't reach. Payments, messages to new people and deletions wait for your approval, and you can export everything and leave at any time.

Why are Oshn Meditation and Rephrase in reshoots?

Both reached real people and showed us where they fell short. Instead of polishing what didn't work, we paused them and are rebuilding each one around a new hypothesis. That's how we keep our time on what people actually need.

How much do the products cost?

Close Reader: reading, notes and flashcards are free; AI help runs on monthly plans, with a free start. Const.: a one-time onboarding plus a monthly plan. Current prices are on closereader.app and const-agent.com.

Are you looking for investors?

Yes. You'd be backing a way of working, not a single bet: we launch fast, keep what people use and rebuild what they don't, with AI agents doing the work of a much bigger team. Write to ilia@oshn-ai.com or leave your contact in the chat above.

How can I get in touch?

Use the chat on this page — it can answer questions and pass your message on. Or email ilia@oshn-ai.com. We read every message.
