I'm 18, and I built Argot solo.

No team, no investors, no startup. Just me, a lot of late nights, and one problem I couldn't stop thinking about.

I learn almost everything from YouTube. The creators I follow have hundreds of hours of episodes between them, and somewhere in all of it is the exact explanation I'm trying to remember. The catch: I could never find it again. I'd scrub through a two-hour video looking for the 40 seconds where they said the thing. Sometimes I'd find it. Usually I'd give up.

That bugged me enough to build a fix. Argot indexes the channels you actually watch and lets you ask a plain question, then hands you back the exact clip and a timestamp link straight to the moment. The thing you remember hearing, found in seconds instead of an afternoon.

Why me, why now

I'm taking a year to build instead of doing the thing everyone expected. Argot is the project I most want to exist, so it's the one I'm putting my name on. It's part of Rike Industries, the umbrella I'm building everything under.

Building it alone means it moves at the speed of one person who cares a lot, not a committee. You'll feel that in how fast it improves and how directly I'll talk to you when something's wrong. If you email, you get me.

Where it's going

Argot is live. Paste any channel you watch and it gets indexed for you. The pre-loaded catalog is just a starting point. The goal is simple: every channel you watch, searchable to the second.

This is day one, not the finish line. I'm shipping constantly: faster indexing, and more of what you ask for. Early founder pricing is locked in for the first sign-ups and never goes up.
