About Aleko Kourtidis

I'm Aleko Kourtidis — I build AI-powered tools that solve real problems for students. Every tool on this site started from a problem I saw people actually dealing with. No fluff, no feature bloat. Just things that work.

Background

I'm 17 years old. I started building software with zero coding experience and shipped my first app to the App Store within weeks. I've built multiple products across web and iOS — from AI essay writers to food health scanners. I focus on shipping fast, solving one problem per tool, and making things people actually want to use.

The Tools

  • AnswerMyPDF — Upload a PDF worksheet, get it filled in with answers that match your grade level and writing style. $1.99/mo.
  • EssayCloner — Paste your writing samples, get new essays written in your actual voice — not ChatGPT's. Free.
  • Feastmate — AI recipe generator on iOS. Tell it your macros and what's in your kitchen. $4.99/mo.
  • Wholefed — Snap a photo of your food, get an instant AI health analysis beyond just calories. Free.

Philosophy

Every tool here does one thing well. I don't add features just because I can. If it doesn't solve a real problem that real people have, it doesn't get built. If it can be simpler, it should be simpler.

Follow Along

I document the building process on social media. Follow me on TikTok and Instagram at @alekokourtidis, or browse all the tools on the homepage.
