I have been building Korta since 2025, the co-pilot for solar installers in Belgium.

The idea was born from a simple observation. While helping local installers with their digital presence, I noticed a shared reality: solar professionals receive leads and install panels, but waste 8 to 12 hours a week on administrative tasks. They rely on Excel, WhatsApp, Word quotes, manual calculations of regional incentives, and gut-feeling scheduling.

Existing market tools target large construction enterprises, not independent businesses of 1 to 5 people. Not to mention that marketing, customer follow-up, and cross-selling are virtually non-existent. Korta is designed specifically for these independent professionals. It features four AI agents working alongside the installer, a 30-second roof calculator using satellite imagery, automatically calculated regional incentives (Wallonia, Flanders, Brussels), eIDAS electronic signatures, Peppol invoicing, compliant RGIE/AREI files, and automated customer follow-ups, all generated in natural language that adapts to the craftsman's usual writing style.

What I do on a daily basis: Product management and strategic roadmap, full-stack development (Next.js 15, TypeScript, Supabase, Gemini AI), design partner acquisition, field research, and building the "smart home" ecosystem (upcoming B2C MaisonScore, supplier purchase aggregation).

Tech Stack & Technical Choices: Next.js App Router, strict TypeScript, Supabase Postgres + RLS, Stripe, Gemini 2.5 Flash for the AI agents, Vercel for deployment, and Docuseal for electronic signatures.
