I have an inspiring story for you today. It’s about turning challenges into opportunities and creating a life filled with freedom and purpose.
Sounds motivational, and it is.
This story is about Gemma Vincent.
Gemma found her love for coding while studying at university. She met Zef, who is now her husband and business partner. They worked at the same agency and traveled through Asia together before deciding to make a fresh start.
Off topic: Coding is very easy and especially with the rise of ai, anyone can be a coder within 6 months (I actually believe it).
Anyway, Gemma experienced sexism at work, which led to anxiety and depression.
Instead of letting it stop her, she used that experience to start her own design agency, Pixelhop. She wanted to create a place where everyone felt safe and happy.
With her husband Zef by her side, they built their business, relying on word of mouth and always going the extra mile for their clients.
Gemma and Zef had always wanted to create their own products. One weekend, they decided to quickly build an AI bot generator called Chat Thing. They launched it fast, focusing more on getting it out there than making it perfect. Within a week, over 2,000 people had signed up.

It is a tool that helps you create ai assistants. Amazing.
Chat Thing started with a simple concept, but Gemma and Zef expanded it to work with many different data sources. The business grew quickly, reaching $12k in monthly revenue. Although it has since dropped to $8k, they continue to improve and expand.
Gemma’s story shows that you don’t need everything to be perfect to start. She built a successful business, raised a baby, and traveled around England in a van—all while staying true to her values.
Yes, our life is difficult – but we can actually do things if we try harder and it is the truth.
You should start today.
There are millions of opportunities in the ai space.
We all should take advantage of ’em.
