Jason, 20

One-year intern

Jason's idea: One click, endless possibilities

Jason had a straightforward idea: Why keep doing the same clicks and keystrokes day after day?

This thought led to the creation of ActionClick, a nifty tool that automates tasks using hotkeys–whether it's opening websites, inserting text, or taking screenshots. Developed at Ashampoo Labs, it's now helping thousands save time every day.

Ole, 17

Student intern

Ole's brilliant idea and huge success

Simple ideas can totally be successful–especially if they're good!

Ole noticed that finding the Windows key in Windows isn't exactly a piece of cake, especially when you need it for hardware changes, reinstallations, or system upgrades. So, Ole created a small but mighty app that gives users exactly what they need, and registrations skyrocketed straight away!

Apprentice

AI by Luca: Safely translate into 45 languages

AI-powered translations are becoming a regular part of our daily routines, but not everyone can use them due to being offline or concerns about sharing sensitive data with the cloud.

Luca did some digging and discovered Argos Translate, a robust AI translation engine that works offline. He then created a handy word processor to go along with it. As soon as it launched, international magazines were eager to get their hands on it!

Nils, 20

Co-op student

A matter of appearance–Nils made Windows more beautiful!

Windows might not have the reputation for being the most stylish operating system, but that doesn't mean it has to stay that way!

Instead of sticking with the usual yellow folders, Nils came up with Folder Styler to shake things up. Want folders in a manga style, with custom motifs, or something more professional and sleek? No worries! His very first program has already made Windows not just look better, but also more personalized and organized.
