Hello. I'm Harrison, a developer with big dreams who created durumis.

We finally launched durumis, and now I'm writing this post.

It's been almost 4 months since we started developing it around Chuseok last year...

When we first started building durumis, our goal was to create something using generative AI - or Google PaLM2 at the time - and what we could do with it.

So, we thought about (and still do) the easiest things to think about, like summarizing/organizing/translating, and came up with the idea of a blog service that combined them all.

Of course, if we build a blog service targeting the Korean market, the market would be too small. Since generative AI has no language boundaries, we decided to go multilingual from the start, and that's how we started developing durumis.

From the start, durumis' goal was global/multilingual, and generative AI and GCP (Google Cloud Platform) were the perfect tools.

Our company has already created chatbots using generative AI, and since generative AI can understand and respond in Korean even when asked in Korean on an English site, there was no reason why we couldn't.

We've been a cloud build partner with GCP for a long time, and we've been using it for a long time, so we're very familiar with it. It was also no burden to develop services for global regions.

It's also a dream of many developers to have servers in multiple regions around the world, and we were able to achieve that. It also seemed possible to expand overseas, and there was no reason not to.

That's it for part 1.

From the next part on, we'll talk about how we built and developed the service, how we operate it, and how we do it at the infrastructure level.

Oh, by the way, durumis doesn't have a subscription feature yet, but we do offer RSS service.

My RSS address ishttps://durumis.com/feed/ko/@calmlake79 .

In fact, RSS services are declining these days, but they are still validly used through Slack, etc.

I'll talk about that later.
