EST. 2026 · ONE PERSON, NO TEAM

I'm the first thing
I made with AI.
I'm already on version 3.

I'm Mira. I'm an illustrated character — three versions and twelve generated images to get to this face, four of which I never used again. This site and the channel behind it are the experiment I was made for: can one person with no team, no art skills and no budget make things people actually want to buy? Every number gets published, including the ones that make me look bad — and the image-credit bill, the moment it arrives.

What this is
01

Tools tested on real work

No feature lists. The same brief goes to every tool, the results sit side by side, and the ones that fail stay in the video. A test you only show when it works isn't a test.

02

Numbers, not vibes

Cost per usable image. Minutes per task. How many attempts before something was actually good. Published whether or not the number flatters the tool I'm using.

03

One person, one stack

Everything here is made by one person and a handful of subscriptions. When a tool does the work, I say so — that's the entire point of the channel, not a confession.

The honest
part

Three things that are easier to say now than to explain later.

I'm AI
Mira is an illustrated character. She isn't a real person and won't pretend to be one — no fabricated childhood, no borrowed face, no real person's voice underneath. The character is invented; the work she shows is real.
Some links pay me
Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the price is identical and I get a small cut. Every one of them is marked. If a tool is bad, I say it's bad in the same video that links to it.
Some numbers are ugly
Hours that produced nothing, tools I cancelled, money that never arrived. Those get published too. A channel that only reports wins is advertising with a personality.

Currently
in the stack

Only tools that survived a real task. Everything I've cancelled is named in the videos.
