Many founders had strong ideas and deep experience, but struggled to consistently translate their thoughts into content that felt authentic. Hiring agencies was not always practical, while doing it alone often became time-consuming and frustrating.<\/p>\n

That gap led Sheth to co-found Saystory, a Dubai-based AI mobile app that converts spoken ideas into ready-to-post social media content within minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started this business to solve that gap. Helping people turn their own thinking into authentic content quickly, without needing to become full-time content creators,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sheth\u2019s interest in business began early, despite not coming from an entrepreneurial family. His path included years of experimentation, mistakes and learning through networking and real-world experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cStart smaller than you think you need to. Solve one problem really well before adding anything else,\u201d he said, reflecting on advice for aspiring founders.<\/p>\n

That mindset continues to guide his approach today, driven by what he describes as the thrill of building something from scratch.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I enjoy the ability to have ideas and go do something with them and see fast progression. I can\u2019t see myself doing anything else at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Solving a daily pain point for founders<\/p>\n

Saystory was built with a focus on making content creation effortless for busy professionals. The app allows users to speak their ideas naturally and converts them into structured posts for platforms such as LinkedIn and Instagram.<\/p>\n

Sheth said the strongest validation has come from seeing the product become part of users\u2019 weekly routines.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur biggest success has been building a product that people genuinely use as part of their weekly routine. Seeing founders go from \u2018I don\u2019t know what to post\u2019 to confidently sharing their ideas and even generating inbound leads from it has been incredibly rewarding,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The startup has since grown from concept to a live app on both iOS and Android, attracting paying users globally and gaining wider recognition after being featured in Jay Shetty\u2019s Daily Wisdom newsletter.<\/p>\n

Lessons from early missteps<\/p>\n

Like many early-stage startups, Saystory\u2019s initial challenge was overbuilding before fully refining its core purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur biggest challenge was trying to do too much too early,\u201d Sheth said. \u201cThe turning point came when we stripped the product back to its essential job. Once the product became easier to understand, it also became easier to explain, market, and adopt.\u201d<\/p>\n

That experience reinforced a lesson that continues to guide the company\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cClarity beats complexity, for users and founders alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Backed by Dubai\u2019s startup ecosystem<\/p>\n

Sheth said Dubai played a strong role in the company\u2019s growth. The startup operates from in5 Tech, one of the city\u2019s largest incubators, which has provided access to networks, feedback and early-stage support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UAE has been incredibly supportive, particularly through its founder-friendly mindset,\u201d he said, adding that informal connections within the ecosystem have been equally valuable.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople here are open to trying new tools, sharing honest input and helping others move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Sheth sees Saystory evolving beyond a content creation tool into a platform that helps professionals capture and document their thinking over time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see Saystory becoming a go-to personal brand content growth app for founders, leaders and teams globally,\u201d he said. \u201cThe long-term vision is to help people turn everyday insights into long-term digital assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nivetha Dayanand is Assistant Business Editor at Gulf News, where she spends her days unpacking money, markets, aviation, and the big shifts shaping life in the Gulf. Before returning to Gulf News, she launched Finance Middle East, complete with a podcast and video series.<\/p>\n

Her reporting has taken her from breaking spot news to long-form features and high-profile interviews. Nivetha has interviewed Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed Al Saud, Indian ministers Hardeep Singh Puri and N. Chandrababu Naidu, IMF\u2019s Jihad Azour, and a long list of CEOs, regulators, and founders who are reshaping the region\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

An Erasmus Mundus journalism alum, Nivetha has shared classrooms and newsrooms with journalists from more than 40 countries, which probably explains her weakness for data, context, and a good follow-up question.<\/p>\n
