OMeuAI Community Project: Become a founder of the Portuguese Artificial Intelligence Index
OMeuAI — Artificial Intelligence in Portuguese, within everyone's reach
OMeuAI is an initiative that promotes digital literacy and practical learning of Artificial Intelligence, based on real, accessible and tested tools. Our goal is to empower teachers, students, professionals and curious people, offering simple and clear training, video tutorials and an organized index of the best AI tools.
We want to demystify the world of Artificial Intelligence and show, with practical examples, how it can be applied in everyday life — in education, business and creativity.
What are we going to do with this project?
- Create an index in Portuguese of the main AI tools, by category (text, image, sound, video, productivity, etc.).
- Produce explanatory sheets and simple tutorials, accessible to anyone, even without technical training.
- Offer free practical training, with short and objective videos.
- Create an exclusive area for founding members, with more advanced content, case studies and live sessions.
- Build an active community of AI users in Portuguese, sharing questions, ideas and good practices.
How will we use the funds?
- The amount raised will be used to cover the costs of:
- Annual licenses for representative AI tools (ChatGPT, Leonardo AI, Suno, Vidnoz, Clipchamp, among others).
- Production of tutorials and educational content, in video and text.
- Hosting and maintenance of the OMeuAI.info platform, with domain, backups and security.
- Creation of a members area, with exclusive content for supporters.
- Compensation for time spent producing and curating content, ensuring continuity and quality.

- Support the creation of educational resources in Portuguese, free from technical jargon;

Budget and due dates
The total amount we aim to raise with this campaign is 3,000 euros (plus 350 euros to cover the campaign costs), a realistic and well-distributed amount to ensure a solid start for the OMeuAI project during the first year.
The budget will be used in five main areas:
-
AI tool licenses : We will purchase an annual license for each of the main tool categories — text, image, video, sound, voice, and productivity. These licenses will allow us to test, validate, and record real-world tutorials with the paid features, avoiding limitations such as watermarks or usage restrictions.
-
Hosting and platform maintenance : Includes the annual cost of the server, domain, backups and security of the omeuai.info website, ensuring stability and continuous accessibility to the content.
-
Production of educational content : The amount raised will symbolically compensate for the time invested in creating video and text tutorials, as well as in organizing the platform's pedagogical structure. We estimate around 10 hours of work per month during the first 6 months, focused on producing the initial content.
-
Creation of the members area and free training : Part of the budget will be dedicated to the technical implementation of the access area reserved for supporters and founders, as well as to the free provision of the first tutorials and introductory courses for the general public.
-
Security margin and charges : We include a 10% margin to cover exchange rate variations, payment platform fees and VAT.
As for the schedule, the plan is simple and realistic:
-
July 2025 will be dedicated to closing the campaign and internal organization;
-
August and September will be used to acquire tools, configure the platform, test features and produce the first tutorials;
-
By October 2025 , we will revamp the website with the launch of initial content and opening exclusive access to founding members;
-
Starting in November , new tutorials, advanced features and coaching sessions will be released regularly, kicking off the ongoing operation of the OMeuAI community.
This calendar can be adjusted according to the evolution of the campaign and the feedback from the first supporters, always maintaining the commitment to transparency and consistency in the delivery of content.
