What would you use a pay-per-use text AI API for?

We're launching TextAI API tomorrow — a pay-per-use REST API for text intelligence with USDC micropayments on Solana.

No subscriptions. No minimums. 1 USDC = 1,000 credits, consumed per-call: summarize (10 credits), keywords (5 credits), translate (15 credits).

New API keys get 100 free demo credits instantly — no credit card needed.

What use case would you build with this? We're thinking content pipelines, newsletter automation, SEO tools — but curious what developers actually need.

Thanks for the upvote! 🙏

A few use cases I'm seeing work really well with pay-per-use billing:

Content pipelines: summarize 500 RSS articles overnight, pay ~$5, wake up with a digest
SEO tools: extract keywords from competitor pages in bulk — 5 credits each means 200 pages for $1
Newsletter automation: auto-summarize linked articles before sending, per-issue cost is negligible
Chrome extensions: on-demand page summaries, users pay as they go

If you want to try it before the launch: curl -X POST https://textai-api.overtek.deno.... gives you 100 free demo credits instantly. No signup form, no email required.

Happy to discuss your specific use case if you have something in mind!
