Rustam Salavatov
Solo founder · AI engineer · CTO
Hi, I'm Rustam.
I'm a solo founder and AI engineer. I build products with AI agents — tools designed for people who value simplicity, privacy, and speed.
What I'm Building
SuperDuperAI is a product studio, not a single product.
- Video Editor — AI-powered video creation platform. Turn vibes into videos instantly. Multi-agent AI system for professional video creation without skills, equipment, or budget.
- Super Chatbot — Multi-agent chatbot platform with RAG, tool use, and custom knowledge bases. Deploy on web, Telegram, or WhatsApp.
- FaceAlarm — Face yoga tracker with daily selfie alarm. AI-powered alarm won't turn off until you take a selfie.
- Jaw Harp Synth — Digital kubyz (jaw harp) synthesizer for iOS. Traditional instrument sounds with modern digital effects.
Each one started as a simple hypothesis, was validated fast, and follows the same principles: AI-first, privacy-respecting, minimal, useful. Everything I build is open source or shared on GitHub.
Manifesto
Not where everyone is — where I'm the only one.
I started Life2Film in 2014 — tools to turn everyday moments into stories. The technology wasn't ready. I closed it in 2021. The dream never left. SuperDuperAI is the second chapter of the same story.
Building products is how I think. Each one is an experiment — a question asked to the world. Creativity is freedom. AI and agents don't replace human creativity — they remove the friction so I can focus on what matters: ideas, craft, time with people I love.
- AI is the foundation, not a feature. Schemas first, then logic.
- Privacy is architecture, not a feature. On-device, local storage, no accounts when possible.
- One pain → one feature → launch. If nobody wants it — kill it and move on.
- Antifragile — modular, small bets, asymmetric upside.
- Open source by default. Knowledge compounds when it's shared.
I should be a creator, not a robot. Technology should free humans to create, to reflect, to live.
