Built by one person

TYPHORA GROUP

I build software, shops and brands on my own — with AI as a tool. Every project here is a pilot.

01 The person

One person.
Every part of it.

I'm Henny — Heinrich Songmin Berger. I design, build and run every project here myself: the code, the look, the legal texts, the marketing, the servers. Typhora Group LLC is the company all of it runs under — the accounts, the payment processing and the developer account hang off it, and so does anything new I build commercially. The whole thing is deliberately built to work from anywhere; it has to hold up when I'm working out of Asia for months at a time.

I work with AI — not as a garnish, but as a tool I wire up myself. And I check what comes out of it: research runs several times and independently, gets held against official primary sources, and is then argued against itself. Every number on this page carries its origin — measured, or read from the code. What I can't back up isn't here.

02 How it started

A voice memo
and a trading bot.

henny.info did not start as a website. It started as a side project: a connector that let me talk to Claude and have it place leveraged trades on crypto platforms from a voice memo. It worked. And it moved something that no article about AI had managed to move before.

If a voice memo can run a trade, then the tooling I had been renting for years was not a necessity — it was a habit. I did not need Shopify to run a shop. I did not need an agency to run campaigns. AI had reached the point where it can carry the operational weight of an online business, and the only thing left in the way was the assumption that it could not.

Mindset and Chalisa still sit on Shopify architectures that grew over years. That is exactly the point: I know what the rented version costs, because I ran it. What follows now is the same thing on ground I own.

What actually changed
Collections designed with AI Product ranges, imagery and copy that used to be a budget line are now a working session.
Iteration speed Ideas that were too expensive to test now get tested. Being wrong became cheap.
Payment flexibility The Stripe API instead of whatever a shop platform happens to allow.
International from the start The LLC makes cross-border business a setup question rather than a project.
Web3 within reach Ten years of watching crypto and games from the sidelines — the AI tooling is what finally makes building in it realistic for one person.
03 Projects

Every project here is a pilot. Each one tests how far a single person gets with know-how, stubbornness and a budget that wouldn't cover a conventional company's accountant.

SOFTWARE
01
Henny

Henny

My own platform and the roof over the apps — with the shop I built from scratch.
HENNY.INFO ↗
Live Read more

My own platform and the roof over the apps: portfolio, blog and shop in fourteen languages, statically built and served from my own server. Behind it runs a backend I wrote myself — accounts, newsletter, contact, blog interactions — live since June 2026, on SQLite with versioned migrations, no third-party SaaS in the chain. Reach measurement is my own and cookie-free; spam protection works without a captcha and without an outside service. An operations dashboard tracks nine providers, seven of them billable, each with a kill switch that survives restarts and deployments. This is also where the checkout, the VAT calculation and the withdrawal function listed further down actually live. Hive and Spirit hang off the same identity — no app has a login of its own; they all ask the same one, verified end to end in production.

Hive

Hive

Messenger for one-to-one and group chats, on my own infrastructure.
HIVE.HENNY.INFO ↗
Pre-Alpha Read more

My own messenger, in its own container with its own database. One-to-one and group chats, voice and video calls over WebRTC, voice memos, media and files — plus an AI layer inside the chat that transcribes, translates and summarises. Two things set it apart from the usual messenger: several named rooms per contact instead of one endless thread, and neither a phone number nor an address-book upload — people connect by invite code or QR. Storage region is a per-room setting; media sits in Nuremberg by default, and if the German region is unavailable the server stops instead of quietly falling back to the US. Talking is free, storage and compute are metered. Still Pre-Alpha and invite-only, and not end-to-end encrypted yet — the app says so too.

HiveHive
03
Spirit

Spirit

A soul map from your birth data — calculated entirely in the browser.
SPIRIT.HENNY.INFO ↗
Live · v1 Read more

The second app, live since June 2026 — two days after Hive. Spirit brings astrology, numerology, the Chinese zodiac and personality type together into a single drawn chart, computed as an SVG in the browser: sun, moon and ascendant from an astronomy library, the Chinese sign with the correct lunar new-year boundary. Alongside it sits a library of public-domain texts, each with its source and licence named. The whole of v1 runs client-side — no backend, no cookies, no tracking — so birth data never leaves the device. That is not a promise but an architecture: there is nowhere for it to go. The build is deliberately licence-clean: permissive libraries only, no copyleft in what ships.

BRANDS & COMMERCE
04
Mindset

Mindset

My fighting-lifestyle brand and film studio — fightwear, supplements, content.
MINDSET.ST ↗
Live · 344K Read more

The brand I've been building the longest, and the one that taught me the most: a lifestyle label and an independent film studio at the same time — fightwear and supplements through a Shopify store, plus documentary and Muay Thai work and a 21-track album recorded in Thailand. Brand, shop, campaigns and editing all done myself. Grown organically from 400 followers to 344K on the same channel; 83 million accounts reached and 216 million impressions in ninety days — ninety days being the longest window Instagram will report, on a channel that has been running for years. Plus 21.9K sessions from the feed into the shop. Every one of those figures is a screenshot on henny.info, not a claim. Mindset runs under Typhora Group LLC, like everything else here.

Chalisa

Chalisa

Handbag shop, built end to end with AI.
CHALISA.STORE ↗
Live Read more

A handbag shop in the affordable-luxury segment, built in August 2025 and running under Typhora Group LLC. Assortment, product images, names and copy are AI-generated end to end, in four languages; sourcing runs as dropshipping. The channel was Meta Ads with Klaviyo flows behind it, core markets Portugal and Spain. What came out of it is not just a shop but reusable material: a tagging system with a collection rulebook, a complete mobile navigation, and a library of prompt building blocks for product copy, SEO and imagery — including a colour mapping across three languages. The German trade registration was fully deregistered in March 2026; everything has run through the LLC since.

04 Built

What that looks like
in practice.

The shop isn't open yet. What follows is built and checked — not sold.

01
My own checkout, no shop platform It asks for the real shipping rate for every basket and every destination instead of guessing with flat tiers. That decision rests on 208 rate measurements of my own.
02
The electronic withdrawal function, § 356a BGB An EU obligation in force since June 2026. Built: two steps, usable without an account, with an audit-proof timestamp on arrival and an ad-free confirmation.
03
VAT as a calculation, not a guess Net and gross are worked out at runtime per destination country, and discounts are applied in the order tax law prescribes rather than the one that looks nicer.
04
Fourteen languages, as architecture Languages live in one registry rather than in copies. Arabic and Hebrew mirror the layout automatically, and anything untranslated falls back to English by construction — so a half-translated language stays usable.
05
My own infrastructure One server, one edge container, TLS for every domain. Fonts and videos self-hosted, no third-party CDN. This page sits there too.
06
Traffic measurement without cookies Runs on my own server with a daily-rotating pseudonym instead of an IP address. Country lookup happens offline. Spam protection works without a captcha and without a third party.
05 Roadmap

What happens
next.

Decided and sequenced, not a wish list. Everything here is still ahead — nothing on this list is finished.

01 Now

Get the first shop off the old ground

Mindset and Chalisa still run on Shopify architectures that grew over years. The new foundation — my own checkout, my own tax logic, my own delivery rules — exists and needs its first real sale on it.

  • Walk the checkout through end to end, test payments, then open it
  • Tax registration and a European address that answers four obligations at once
  • Wallet payments and fixed price tables per currency
  • Then move Chalisa onto the same foundation — the shop stands and the concept has sold
02 The next big one

Mindset as a film studio and a fighting brand

The brand becomes the place where the film work and the product line meet. Merch is not merchandising here — it is how the productions are meant to finance themselves, independently.

  • Publish the show concepts
  • „The Soi“ — a cinematic documentary about the fighting street of Phuket
  • Publish the first series pilot
  • Build the matching merch collection as independent financing
  • Extend the product line with supplements
03 From September

„ADLER“ — preparing the series in the Philippines

Location scouting, castings and preparation on site. Alongside it, helping to film and promote a centre for digital nomads. I will keep reporting on all of it here and on the blog.

  • Location scouting and castings on site
  • Film and promote the digital-nomad centre
  • Shoot across Germany, the Philippines, Thailand, South Korea and the USA
04 The app ecosystem

One login for everything I build

Every app should ask the same identity — one account, valid everywhere, held by me rather than rented from a platform. Hive is the first that has to carry real users.

  • Bring Hive into the app stores
  • Release the first Alpha
  • Wire Spirit into the Henny and Hive ecosystem
  • Reach figures from the official Instagram API instead of screenshots
  • This page in the same fourteen languages as henny.info
05 Web3 layer

Data that belongs to the person it describes

The part I have been circling for ten years. The idea is not a coin — it is that your data sits with you, and that access to it is something you grant, revoke and can be paid for.

  • Crypto payments in the shops
  • A Hive chain where messages, projects and contracts can be placed openly readable
  • NFT-gated access to collections
  • A Soul Token holding your own data, with plugin access for other platforms — granted, revocable, and payable
  • Leave a platform and access closes automatically; open it again on your terms
06 Teaching

An AI university with three tracks

A clear training path rather than scattered tutorials — film, software, marketing, each taught at the level AI actually stands at today. Selfishly motivated too: these are the people I will need.

  • Film — from the idea to the finished production
  • Software — build and run your own systems
  • Marketing — reach without burning budget
  • Blog categories as the open groundwork: crypto, web development, AI, filmmaking, martial arts
07 Still open

The list is deliberately not finished

Things move fast enough here that a closed roadmap would be out of date within weeks. This slot is where the next ones go — AI influencers for Chalisa, more brands on the same foundation, whatever the next months make obvious.

  • Chalisa advertised entirely by AI influencers
  • Further brands onto the shared foundation
  • Podcasts per brand
  • AI customer service and phone support across all shops
06 Vision

What I built up over the years — the reach on Instagram, the visitors in my own Shopify stores — always ran on someone else's platform. That is the whole reason for the rest of this: I want to build it myself, independent of platforms, and own every part of the chain.

What I plan to do
  1. 01
    Produce a series of my own Shot in Germany, the Philippines, Thailand, South Korea and the USA — independently produced, start to finish. In about a year it should go up on my own site, paid, with a matching merch collection underneath it.
  2. 02
    Carry the model over to the other brands Henny is the first one. If it works there — own production, own site, own checkout, merch that belongs to it — the same pattern should follow for the other brands.
  3. 03
    Automate the marketing Content workflows built out of the product data itself, publishing per brand in several languages across the platforms — instead of maintaining every post by hand.
  4. 04
    Service that scales without a team Customer service by AI and phone support across all the shops, plus a podcast per brand. One person cannot answer around the clock — but the system underneath it can be built.

And further out: creators should be able to sell branded merch worldwide at the push of a button — registration, tax, shipping and returns handled automatically, so they can do the creative work and fund themselves from it. I'm building the pieces one at a time, on my own projects, and testing them against real legal ground instead of assumptions.

This is a plan, not a state.
None of it exists yet. What already stands is above.

07 Mission

Why I do this.

Education. Building tools. Helping people understand themselves better, show more empathy, and reach a life with room in it rather than one spent running out of time. AI is what makes that possible — it dissolves the bottlenecks that used to make all of it a question of who could afford the hours.

My generation grew up on social media and lived through a pandemic, a war in Europe, an oil conflict and the arrival of a genuinely capable AI — while I first saw a Game Boy Color in primary school. I watched the first iPod touch arrive. I went from a supermarket laptop to a maxed-out MacBook Pro in twenty years. I shot films on my first flip phone and on a Red Epic. I studied computer science and produced media.

For me this is the moment where the line between physical and digital stops mattering much, because it keeps becoming clearer that almost everything depends on one thing: whether good information is available, and whether anyone can reach it.

Which is why I keep landing on dataism — the idea that our job as people is to sort the information of the world and make it reachable. With AI I think I can actually be a productive sorter and system builder, someone who makes a few days slightly better than they would have been.

That is the work.
Everything above is just where it currently stands.
