AudioPen was his 16th project after 15 failures — and was built in just 12 hours during a hackathon using Bubble.io no-code

What AudioPen Does

AudioPen is a voice-to-text AI tool that transforms rambling voice notes into clean, structured written text. Users speak their thoughts freely — unstructured, repetitive, incomplete — and AudioPen's AI cleans, organizes, and restructures the content into polished notes, blog posts, emails, or tweets. Unlike traditional transcription tools that output word-for-word text, AudioPen understands intent and produces coherent written content from messy spoken input. The product was born from a simple insight: most people think in fragments and tangents, but writing requires structure. AudioPen bridges that gap. What makes the story remarkable is the tech: it's built entirely on Bubble.io, a no-code platform. Louis Pereira built the entire product in 12 hours during a 'Half Day Build' hackathon in March 2023. It hit #1 on Product Hunt, generated $73K in the first 2 months, and has since grown to 1,000+ paying customers with 11K+ registered users — all without writing traditional code.
