A 13-Year-Old CEO Launches an AI Agent Startup — Even College Grads Are Working for Him
In the world of AI startups, age is quickly becoming irrelevant.
While most 13-year-olds are using AI to write homework or edit videos, Michael Goldstein, a teenager from Toronto, Canada, has already launched his own AI startup — FloweAI — and is now the CEO of the company. Even more impressive? He’s set a goal to hit \$10,000 in monthly revenue.
This is not just a story about young talent — it’s a reflection of how hot the AI Agent startup scene has become globally.
From School to Startup: A Teen Builds FloweAI to Automate Everyday Tasks
Michael Goldstein’s product, FloweAI, is designed to serve as a general-purpose AI Agent capable of executing various daily tasks using natural language commands — from generating Google Docs and PowerPoint presentations to booking flights and filling out web forms.
Currently, FloweAI is available as a web-based application. Free users can try up to 10 complete tasks per month, while Pro users, for just CAD 20 (~\$15 USD), get unlimited access and premium features like text-to-image/video generation and audio transcription.
We Tested FloweAI: 10 Slides in 6 Minutes — Still a Work in Progress
To test FloweAI’s capabilities, we asked it to create a presentation on the AI Agent industry in Chinese.
- ⏱ Total Time: About 6.5 minutes
- 📄 Slides: 10, covering industry history, key technologies, current status, and future trends
- 💬 Language Support: Works with Chinese input
- 🎨 Design: Gradient backgrounds (dark blue to teal), basic transitions, responsive layout
However, while the tool gets a passing grade, some limitations remain:
- Content lacks depth — only high-level points without detailed insights
- Layout is basic — mostly bullet points with unused white space
- No real-time editing or export options — yet
In short, FloweAI creates a decent first draft, but users will need to manually fine-tune the output before use.
More Than Just PPTs: FloweAI Supports Web Automation and Background Tasks
Beyond presentations, FloweAI also offers features like:
- Google Docs content generation
- Automatic web form filling
- Multitasking and background processing
- Scheduled task execution
Future updates will include Gmail automation and more advanced AI Agent workflows. The product is currently iterating quickly, with the team aiming for \$10,000 monthly revenue in the near term.
College Students Join the Team — Led by a 13-Year-Old
FloweAI has already attracted talent from top universities.
- Vincent Adler, a student at the Technical University of Munich, previously interned at Greenflash and founded several startups.
- Miguel Miranda, a systems engineering major and MERN stack developer, also recently joined.
Meanwhile, Michael — who once launched a high-altitude weather balloon experiment at age 12 — continues to manage both school and startup life. He’s also actively recruiting co-founders to scale FloweAI to a million-dollar business.
Meanwhile in Asia: XXAI Enters the AI Agent Arena with Multimodal Capabilities
It's not just young entrepreneurs in the West building AI Agents. In Asia, AI platforms like XXAI are also making strategic moves.
XXAI is an advanced AI productivity platform that integrates 15 major AI models, including GPT-4.1, Claude 4, Gemini 2.5, and LLaMA. The team is now developing its own AI Agent system, designed to streamline tasks like:
- One-command PPT and blog generation
- Web automation (form filling, data scraping)
- Auto email replies and PDF summarization
- Background task execution across platforms
Currently in beta testing, the XXAI Agent is expected to roll out soon. With low user friction and a multi-model engine, XXAI aims to make intelligent agents accessible to mainstream users — not just developers.
The Rise of Young AI Founders: A New Generation of Builders
Michael's story is not an isolated case. Under one of his social media posts, a 10-year-old U.S. student shared their own SaaS project: a tool that monitors your phone number 24/7 and sends alerts if it's flagged as spam or fraud.
This surge of youth-led innovation shows that AI entrepreneurship is becoming more inclusive, younger, and more practical.
With accessible AI tools and platforms emerging, the barriers to entry are falling. What matters now is curiosity, courage, and action — not age.
Final Thoughts: Just Do It — Age Is No Barrier in the Age of AI
Michael Goldstein’s journey proves one thing:
Age is not a limitation when it comes to building the future of technology.
Whether it’s a 13-year-old launching FloweAI or a platform like XXAI building cross-modal Agents, the AI Agent revolution is underway — and everyone, from students to startups, can be part of it.
The next big AI product might not come from Silicon Valley giants, but from a teen’s bedroom or an indie AI team.
So why wait? Just Do It.
