About
A small company that grows little products
Carrotly Pte. Ltd. is an independently operated software studio in Singapore, founded in 2022. We grow four small AI products and answer our own email — this page is the short version of who that is, and why it works that way.
The studio
Carrotly Pte. Ltd. was incorporated in Singapore in 2022 (UEN 202212557Z). The name is a soft pun — a carrot is a small, useful thing you grow, and the suffix is a nod to quietly. That's roughly the working principle: small, useful things, grown without fanfare.
The studio is independently operated. There are no outside investors, no growth targets handed down from a board, and no obligation to turn any one product into a billion-dollar company. That changes the maths on what we build. We don't need a product to be huge — we need it to be honest, useful to the people who pay for it, and pleasant to run.
We run four products instead of one. The unfashionable reason is that a small portfolio is more resilient than a single bet, and the honest reason is that we like building. Four lets us learn from one product and feed it into the others — what worked in Aimpress shapes HeyIsla, what we learned billing for Story Time Together feeds back into TooLong.xyz. They share a code style, a billing approach, and a support inbox; everything else is allowed to be different.
The garden
Every product is a plant. It's a metaphor that started as a doodle and stuck — products take time, need looking after, grow at their own pace, and a few die. The watercolour plants you'll see around the site are each tied to a specific product:
AimpressSocial media, simplifiedAI-powered content creation and scheduling for LinkedIn and Twitter. Learns your voice, posts at peak times, tracks what works.
TooLong.xyzVideo summaries in secondsDrop a YouTube link, get the key insights. No more watching hour-long videos for that one piece of information.
HeyIslaScheduling without the hassleYour AI calendar assistant that handles the back-and-forth. Syncs with Google and Outlook, coordinates across timezones.
Story Time TogetherPersonalised bedtime, every nightAI-generated stories tailored to your child's name, age, and interests. Narrated aloud or read along — a calm end to busy days.
Who runs it
Michael Cutler — Michael founded Carrotly Pte. Ltd. in 2022. He writes here about how the four products are built and run, and answers email at hello@carrotly-ai.com.
Day to day that means: writing the code, replying to support, drawing the carrots, paying the bills, and occasionally publishing a field note about how it's going.
What we believe
- We grow little products, not big ones.
- We charge for software, not data.
- Every email goes to a human, usually within one business day (Singapore time).
- Each product runs on its own — there is no unified Carrotly login.
- We ship slowly, in public, and we'd rather be small and right than big and noisy.
- We answer support email ourselves — there is no support tier we hide behind.
