A Manchester-based SaaS business is set to shut down after two years in operation.
GhostPosts.ai, founded by tech industry veterans Liam Brennan and Paul Wilshaw, will close on September 3rd due to the duo having less time to dedicate to the business.聽
The business was started by the pair as 鈥榓 side hustle鈥� and leverages language learning models (LLMs) and other forms of AI technology for digital content creation.
The aim of the firm was to create an inclusive and accessible platform that caters to a diverse range of users while promoting environmental responsibility and transparency.
Social posts were generated in seconds, increasing efficiency and reducing carbon footprint.
Its AI tools aimed to help founders by ghost writing content such as blog posts, advertising scripts and grant funding applications.
Brennan, a neurodiverse entrepreneur, even teamed up with Lancaster University to develop the company鈥檚 tools.聽
However, yesterday the company confirmed that it would shut for good and, in a last gesture of goodwill, donate all profits to a UK digital inclusion charity.
鈥淐losing a chapter today. Paul and I are winding down GhostPosts.ai on 3rd September,鈥� said Brennan on LinkedIn.
鈥淔irst time building a SaaS product. First time running a business.
鈥淲e learned fast, iterated with enthusiasm and met a brilliant bunch of people along the way.
鈥淲e鈥檙e donating all profits to a UK digital inclusion charity, because access matters.聽
鈥淚f you鈥檝e a strong recommendation, I鈥檓 listening. If you used GhostPosts – THANK YOU.鈥�
Wilshaw added: 鈥淚t was a great little app and adventure, however鈥� It鈥檚 with a heavy heart that today we announced that we鈥檙e closing the doors on GhostPosts.ai.聽
鈥淚t was a real adventure and a pleasure to work with Liam Brennan – we created a brilliant company together and put our own values of inclusivity, accessibility, usability and climate change to AI and gave everyone a level playing field – without having the in-depth knowledge of prompting to get something meaningful in return.聽
鈥淥ver the last few months we鈥檝e both had less and less time to dedicate to Ghost Posts so we鈥檝e decided to wind up the business.聽
鈥淭hank you to all our supporters and customers. We are so humbled and grateful that you chose our app.聽
鈥淲hile I dedicate more time to Designed for Humans LTD I will forever have the fond memories of Ghosty and wrangling a product into the world.鈥�
