About

I'm building indie.money — the App Store for AI automation. Builders publish n8n-compatible agents to our marketplace. Businesses run them. Builders keep 90% of every run (10% only when you cash out). No SaaS to build. No marketing required. The problem I'm solving: Automation creators build incredible automations but can't monetize them. Zapier takes 100% of the value. We flip that. Why blockchain? You'll never notice it. Sign in with email or Google. No wallets, no gas fees. Blockchain just proves you own what you create. --- Background: • 20+ years building at the intersection of AI, blockchain, and fintech • 6 startups founded, 2 exits • Previously: AI instructor at ULB Brussels, teaching medical students to integrate AI into their research • Built compliant payment systems, AI chatbots, DeFi protocols, and enterprise software for clients including BNP Paribas and the National Bank of Belgium Technical focus: RAG systems, agentic AI, n8n automation, smart contracts (Solidity), gasless UX (ERC-2612) --- If you're an n8n developer who wants to monetize your n8n-compatible agents, or a founder looking for AI automation — let's talk. → indie.money
