Roadmap

MVP(s)

Creative Connector - An AI-powered matchmaker that helps creatives find collaborators through smart, conversational search. Browse by skill, location, and availability, or chat to get tailored matches. (you can use the ai connector search (jup), or search the directory manually, this is not a swipe and match app.

Collab Cloud - A collaboration hub where creatives post or discover projects. AI matching connects the right people, and built-in scheduling keeps sessions and meetings organised.

Project Desk - A visual workspace for managing creative projects. Use 60+ ready-made templates, track progress, manage teams, and export presentations — all in one place.

Together, they form a connected system to find collaborators, start projects, and manage creative work seamlessly.
