Building a startup with AI

In this post, we highlight the stack that allows you to build your next AI startup even if you have never built one + share some tips like how to get free AI credit for your AI startup.

If you are not building a startup, you can also find a lot of useful tips with AI because we cover a few areas:

• No-code Tools

• Developer Tools

• Getting Free AI Credits 🎁

• Sales

• Launch & Marketing

The closed Community of AI makers & founders is almost SOLD OUT (<10 Seats left)! There are many great indie founders inside.

Suppose you recently launched/are on a mission to grow your AI Product. In that case, this Community can significantly help with the following: Marketing for your AI Product, Product Hunt Launch Insights and support, Peer-to-peer education & direct access to AI influencers, and sharing development Insights.

Design

Figma

Figma is literally a magic maker and can be used by anyone- even if you have 0 experience in design. Figma has a bunch of notable plugins in the marketplace that use AI.

My favorite plugin is Pygma.

Pygma can help you with:

• Generating design ideas based on simple prompts like layouts, colors, and fonts.

• Automating tasks such as creating UI elements, naming layers, and designing patterns and prototypes.

• One-click deployment of updates and connecting a custom domain

UI Wizard

UI Wizard is an AI-powered UI design tool for designing wireframes, mockups, and prototypes in minutes.

Here, you can find a guide on how to use UIZARD- everything you need as a beginner.

NO-CODE Tools

Bubble

Bubble.io offers features for web and basic mobile app development using a visual interface. Key features include:

• Over 800 plugins for enhanced functionality and tool integration.

• Customizable code options in a primarily no-code platform for tailored control.

• Support for external and local databases for effective data storage.

• Collaborative project development, allowing up to 40 team members to edit simultaneously.

Bubble is great for building MVPs of AI Startups. It has a bunch of templates and tutorials on integrating AI. Here is one:

 This tutorial will explain how to build a text generator with Open AI API.

More on AI text generators in our post from a couple of weeks ago:

Also, you can purchase a Bubble template for the AI app. For example, this template allows you to create 65 different SaaS Apps with AI.

Glide AI

Glide is a web and mobile application builder based on Google Sheets. A website alone is insufficient if you want users to log in, upvote, review, and perform other simple actions. 

Glide is a great example of simplicity and ease of use being at the core + native AI integration.

Glide AI helps with many different data formatting & entry tasks, from generating HTML based on text inputs to converting audio to text.

Build with Glide AI sessions on YouTube Live showcased how to create an app that would generate social content based on purpose (how-to, benefit, list, tips, etc.) and format it for all platforms selected (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) in the required tone of voice.

Glide can help you to build AI customer support app, Marketing content generator or AI Art generator

Developer Tools

Vercel

Vercel is a go-to app that enables developers to host websites and web services that deploy instantly, scale automatically, and require no supervision. 

Developers now recommend never starting from scratch – someone's almost always done it before, and probably better than you could do it alone. Vercel is an excellent example of that. Their template library is like a cheat code for all dev life. It might even increase your lifespan. I will share with you a few of my favorite templates:

Next.js AI Chatbot - pretty simple but very powerful template to start with

This project will generate relevant alt text for images using AI

Replicate

Many developers use Replicate for their side projects, but side projects can turn into multi-million dollar companies. Like Pieter Levels and Danny Postma.

• Pieter Levels uses Replicate for his PhotoAI.com site. And makes several million per year.

• Danny Postma uses Replicate for his Headshotpro.com site. And makes over $1M per year.

Replicate has also seen people build autonomous robots, real-time drawing apps, and language model command-line interfaces.

Share this with developers who want to build with AI! They may find something for them.
