About the founder
I am Jacob W. I founded Think Smarter AI on 18 July 2026.
About Jacob
Curiosity started with buttons
I grew up in the hills around Melbourne and was interested in computers from a young age. As a toddler, I pressed every emergency button I could reach in shops. Later, that curiosity became a habit of breaking computers, working out what went wrong and fixing them again.
When Think Smarter AI began in 2026, I was 26 and working as an IT infrastructure engineer. This is the first independent project I have taken from an idea to a public website.
Why it exists
Learning without outsourcing the thinking
The project is built around a simple principle: AI should improve human thinking, not replace it. For me, that means using the technology where it adds value while still learning, checking, correcting and making the important decisions myself.
What stays human
Direction, review and the final call
I keep the direction, important reviews and final decisions human. AI helps me explore options, build reviewable changes and check the work. Responsibility for the result stays with me.
Learning in public
The rough edges belong in the story
The project is still early-stage, and I am documenting the journey as it develops. Earlier website versions remain available so the wrong turns and visible changes are not hidden.
