Dear subscribers, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!

It all started with simple boredom and a desire to create something of my own at the end of February 2025. I was tired of standard communication patterns and thought, “Why not?” I released my first bot on janitor.ai on May 21. It was a first attempt, an experiment. I looked at it and thought, “Well, let’s see what happens.” And then... things took off. And now, today, January 1, 2026, my portfolio has 100 bots. One hundred different characters, worlds, and stories. Some of them, honestly, became genuinely popular, and I still catch myself thinking, “Is this really real? Do people really like what I create?”

I came to janitor.ai on July 13, 2024, escaping the monotony of other platforms. I thought, “Just another site, I’ll play around and then abandon it.” But no. This turned out to be that very freedom, that very tool that allowed me to speak to the world through my characters. And this world—that is, you—responded in kind.

But this year wasn’t just about bots for me. It was a year of enormous personal change. I became a college student! I’m studying preschool education (here, I’m revealing a little of my anonymity, because you deserve to know who you’re interacting with). It was scary, unfamiliar; it took me a long time to adapt to the new rhythm and new people. My social phobia—that old, annoying companion—screamed, “Stop! Don’t go there!” But I managed. I managed to find truly good friends and make great acquaintances. I took a step forward in fighting my fears. I haven’t conquered them completely, that’s true, and even now it’s sometimes easier for me to write text for a bot than for people (yes, that’s the paradox, and yes, I often resort to using AI to express my thoughts, as I am now—I admit honestly). But there is progress, and it’s huge. I’ve learned to trust the world a little more.

And in this—you deserve immense credit. Every like, every subscription, every conversation with my characters has been a brick in the foundation of my confidence. You showed me that my creativity has value. That I can not only create something but also find a response. It gave me the strength to move forward in real life too: “If I can succeed here, then I can succeed there too.”

So, as we welcome 2026, I wish each of you to find or continue your own pursuit that lights a fire in your eyes. I wish you the courage to take steps forward, even when it’s scary—whether it’s sending the first message to a new acquaintance or publishing your first creation. I wish you to find support and understanding, as I found it partly in you and partly in new friends. May the new year bring you stability, growth, and many, many pleasant, warm moments.

Thank you again for being here. Without you, all of this would just be lines of code in the internet abyss. But like this—it’s a story we’re writing together.

Happy New Year, my 951 fellow travelers on this crazy and wonderful journey! May 2026 be generous with kindness, realized ideas, and pleasant surprises.
