What we’re hearing

We keep hearing variations of the same story.

“ChatGPT helped me put together a small app to keep our family’s schedule in one place. I just don’t know where to put it so my family can actually use it.”

“I built a quick quiz tool with Claude for my class. I have no idea how to hand it to my students.”

“I made an estimate calculator for our business. It works on my laptop. I can’t figure out how to get the rest of the team using it.”

Students, creators, founders, teachers, specialists across many fields. Different worlds, but the same shape underneath: the bar for making something has dropped sharply, and people are now running into the next wall — getting it to other people.

Why people get stuck

The reason is simple. Turning something that runs into something other people can use has, for a long time, required a stack of steps that were built for programmers. Renting a server. Configuring it. Packaging the build in the right shape. Pushing updates when something changes.

None of these are hard once you have done them a few times. But when you build something with AI without writing it yourself, this is a completely different world. The making part has gotten dramatically faster. The shipping part has not really changed.

We have been here before

If you look back at how software and the web have evolved, this exact moment keeps showing up.

When personal websites stopped requiring hand-written HTML. When blogging tools made it normal for anyone to publish writing to the world. When video platforms turned what once lived only on television into something anyone could broadcast.

In each case, a wall between people who can make something and people who can put it in front of others came down. We think that wall is coming down again right now — this time for everyone who can prompt an AI.

What we are working on

At Sola, we are building Blue (https://blue.sola.inc/) — a place where what you made with AI can become something other people can use, without going through any of the programmer-only steps in the middle.

You take what ChatGPT or Claude produced. You drop it in. You press a button. What you built gets deployed, and you receive a URL you can share — with your family, your class, your customers, your team. The piece between it runs on my machine and they can use it from theirs is what Blue removes.

Where we are today

Blue is currently in an invite-only beta — though we plan to lift the invite requirement soon. We’re growing the user base gradually while we work on feature improvements, stronger security, and operational stability.

What comes next

Beyond that, we are preparing something more direct: deploying to Blue from inside the chat you already use. Ask ChatGPT or Claude to “deploy this,” and it happens — no separate trip to a separate site. The experience of making with AI and shipping with AI should be one continuous motion. That is the version of Blue we are working toward.

An invite code for readers of this article

If you’d like to try Blue after reading this, we’ve set aside an invite code just for this article.

Head to blue.sola.inc, and enter BL03 in the invite code field on the sign-up screen. You can start on the free Starter plan and explore Blue from there.

For organizational and educational use, or for larger-scale deployments, our contact form is the place to reach us.

If you are one of the people who built something with AI and then quietly stopped — we’d like Blue to be the thing that gets you the rest of the way.
