SpeShu.AI launches feature crowdsourcing: Habr users decide what goes into the next patch

SpeShu.AI has launched a public interactive platform: Habr users write in the comments what to add or remove from the service, vote with upvotes for the best ideas, and the team implements the most popular ones in the next patch. According to the developers, they work quickly — changes are released almost in real-time.

This is a rare format for startups, where the audience literally manages the priority of product development. SpeShu.AI is an aggregator of top neural networks and AI agents in one window.

The name stands for "СПЕШУ АИ" (Hurry AI): it's both a play on words and positioning — the service promises quick access to the best models without needing multiple separate subscriptions. In one interface, you can work with different models, switch between them for specific tasks, and connect AI agents for automating repetitive processes. According to the developers' idea, this saves both money and time — instead of five different dashboards, one is enough.

The market for AI service aggregators is actively growing worldwide, and the Russian segment is no exception. In just the last two years, dozens of platforms have appeared trying to gather Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Mistral, and specialized models for specific tasks under one roof. Competing on functionality alone is becoming increasingly difficult: the basic capabilities of many services are similar.

SpeShu.AI is betting on something different — community involvement in the development process. When a user sees their idea turn into a real feature and make it into the next release, it creates loyalty of a different order than any marketing campaign.

The format of crowdsourcing functions through a public platform is not new — Product Hunt, Reddit, and GitHub Issues have long been used as feedback channels for tech products. But direct interactivity in the format "comment → votes → patch" with declared implementation speed is already closer to live public development. To claim that features come out "almost in real-time" means publicly committing to an obligation that is verified right there.

The Habr audience is technically savvy and skeptical — empty promises are quickly noticed here and pointed out publicly. One of the main arguments of any aggregator is savings on subscriptions. Basic plans for GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini Advanced combined cost between $60 and $100 per month.

At the same time, the actual overlap in usage among most users is high: tasks overlap, and finding the best model for a specific request often comes down to trial and error. An aggregator with smart routing between models theoretically solves this problem — the user pays less and gets better results. How well this scheme actually works for SpeShu.

AI is one of the questions worth raising in their interactive. The broader context is also important. As major foreign platforms complicate access for Russian users or reduce their market presence, local aggregators fill the emerging niche.

They offer a familiar interface, ruble-based payments, Russian-language support, and often — access to the same foreign models through APIs. In this context, SpeShu.AI is one of the players trying to claim its place not only through pricing but also through loyalty built on transparent development and direct dialogue with the audience.

The Habr interactive is both product research and a marketing move. How much the comments will actually change the team's priorities rather than just drive traffic to the service page will be shown by one specific criterion: how many voted ideas will actually make it into the next versions of SpeShu.AI within the promised timeframes.
