Shipped: Speak Together
I’m Bogdan, I run Next Halo, a 10-person applied AI studio in Belgrade. We build production AI systems for clients. This one isn’t a client project, it’s personal.
I built it first for me and my daughter. She’s on the spectrum, and the visuals that actually help her (schedules, social stories, colouring pages) were slow to make and never quite about her. Now it’s for every parent in the same spot: describe your kid and the situation, and in about a minute you get printable visuals built around your child, in your language. Print it, sit down together, pen and paper. Made for parents, not for kids’ screen time.
Official data puts it at roughly 290 million kids under 20 with a developmental disability, and that’s a minimum. Add their families and you’re near a billion people.
Stage: Early beta, free.
Go-to-market: Speech therapists who hand it to the parents they already work with.
Looking for / ask: Anyone who’s built for a clinician → parent distribution model. If you’re a parent in the same position or just want to help, my DMs are open :)

Among the SaaS CEOs in SaasRise, the partner channels that last are the ones where sharing the product saves the partner time and makes them look good, not ones that run on favors. If a speech therapist can send each parent home with a printable schedule or social story about their own child, in their own language, that gives therapists a real reason to keep recommending Speak Together.
Ryan, fully agree. Therapists today work with generic pictures. With SpeakTogether they get material made for that specific child in about 30 seconds. It saves time, and more importantly it helps get the kid engaged, which with these kids is often the hardest part. For now they're design partners in the closed beta. Thanks for this, really useful. Have you seen a SaaSRise company turn design partners into a distribution channel well?
