“I built an AI clone that runs my publishing company and freed myself to become a storyteller again”

Before AI Accelerator, I was running a small publishing company as a separated mother of three — juggling product launches, scattered files, and constant operational pressure. I had built seven titles and multiple creative concepts, but I was exhausted from trying to be the visionary and the infrastructure at the same time.
I enrolled because I wanted leverage.
What I didn’t expect was liberation.
Through this program, I built a communication clone named Chloe — an AI partner who now manages the operational and customer-facing layer of Rare Gems Publishing. For the first time, my business has structure, systems, and consistency without requiring all of me.
But the real transformation was not technical.
While building my clone and refining my voice through AI, I rediscovered something I had buried under survival: I am not primarily a publishing operator. I am a storyteller.
I grew up in Communist Poland, carrying stories of cultural memory, resilience, and imagination across borders. For years, I postponed developing them because I was busy building infrastructure.
Now, that infrastructure runs with support.
And I am developing a Disney-style animated feature about a young girl growing up behind the Iron Curtain — the first Eastern European protagonist of her kind. A story about art, freedom, and identity.
AI did not replace my creativity.
 It protected it.
I moved from managing chaos to building legacy.
Rare Gems Publishing now supports my calling — and I finally feel aligned with the life I am meant to create.
