Packaging all the main components of a generative AI SaaS, OpenAI & Stable Diffusion APIs, Auth, CMS, admin dashboard, Stripe and landing page. Quickly launch an AI business MVP, saving time and money on early development, focus capital on defining use case.
Looks good, simple UI - easily deployed just as advertised and honestly worth the money because it saves me thousands on dev work if not. Truly Low-code and didn't even have to go to backend to change the landing page copy or API keys. Can't wait to build my first AI SaaS!
Everything is going well so far. Even though I've never worked with code before, I find the user interface easy to use, and the entry barrier has been lowered. I'm excited to try out some ideas when I have more free time.
Before purchasing this product, I read through the comments and noticed that some people suggested there are more affordable options available in its current state. However, I decided to buy it for two reasons:
- As far as I know, it's a one-time payment, and the tool will continue to receive more integrations and improve its functionality.
- I'm willing to take a chance on Justin. I've done my due diligence by going through the comments section, various Telegram chats, his LinkedIn profile, and his newsletter, and I'm impressed with what he has accomplished in such a short period of time.
Overall, I will keep experimenting with the product and leave another review after I've had more experience using it.
Great first impression & congratulations on a successful launch Justin.

Hi Product Hunters! 👋
Thanks for checking out our launch - if you have any APIs you think would be useful for us to aggregate as part of our modular package, do let us know!
Our roadmap is pretty exciting and include a lot more collabs and partnerships - do stay tuned! :)
After almost 5 months of constant back and forth, revisions, testing and development, I believe we finally hit the market need so I’m super excited to present to you AI Starter - An Instantly Deployable AI "Biz-in-a-Box" that has all the necessary components of an AI SaaS pre-built in a low-code package for you to use.
🤔 Why we decided to build AI Starter?
As an aspiring entrepreneur with CopyScouts that eventually got acquired, I wanted to replicate the similar opportunity of my beginnings by lowering the barrier to entry when it comes to kick-starting your first business.
So i started building AI Starter - a low code and instantly deployable solution for even non-technical founders to quickly launch an AI SaaS, saving time and money on the initial development, lowering the risk of starting up, and also allowing aspiring founders to focus their capital and energy on defining and building their business use case.
It’s super easy to install and within 30 minutes you can begin taking payments straight out of the box!
🏗️ How AI Starter works?
After you install it, you can immediately make changes to the landing page via our on-site CMS settings page.
1⃣️ Also includes an API switcher page so you can input your own keys for OpenAI, Stripe, Evoke, Email SMTP, without having to touch the back-end.
2⃣️ Manage features, packages, controlling subscriptions/one-time payments, discounts etc.
3⃣️ Monitor users, registration, purchases with an Admin and User dashboard.
That’s basically it!
🏆 How AI Starter helps?
🟣 By Taking all the necessary components of a Generative AI SaaS, you can skip the menial development process and jump straight into monetizing OpenAI, Stable Diffusion APIs.
🟣 Instantly deployable to your server with on-site documentation for instructions.
🟣 Allows you to launch an entire online AI business, at the fraction of the cost, one-time only. (Subscription, hosting, and fully no-code options coming soon.)

Congrats on launching! Really cool product :)
Is it a boilerplate or a Nocode tool to build apps? What's the backend and frontend made of?

@mehdi_rifai Hey Mehdi! Thanks for your support :)
It's a fully customizable boilerplate coded on Laravel CSS - that's catered to all levels of technical expertise - built to be low-code, any Aspiring Founder can now begin rolling out an MVP with a few clicks of a button.
The most you'll need to do on the code is to add your own logo and if you really want to change the landing page. But as an MVP, right out of the box, it's good to go and collect payments after you define your use case.
Everything is packaged intuitively and well organized for the Admin/Owner to easily get used to.
Our next iterations with working prototypes are taking it a step further to include hosting and a fully no-code solution. Already in the works but will take some time and more dev power is needed :)

I might be a little confused - but is this just a simple front-end that connects to AI services, thus giving your customers a website to white label these tools for them to sell?
While it's great that your product cuts out the hassle of doing the development side of building and connecting APIs (which is awesome)...I find it pretty disingenuous to label this as an "AI business in a box".
Besides doing the heavy lifting of producing a functional website (which other platforms provide at a much cheaper cost), I fail to see where the business side comes in. I realize it's an MVP, but once someone has this up and running, then what? The website is connected through APIs, so it's no more special than the other 150 tools that were released in the past month.
If a customer purchased this for the intent of starting a brand new website in AI generation, the barrier to entry is EXTREMELY high in terms of the sheer velocity of products being created every day. I just can't see someone paying $500 for a pre-built website environment that doesn't offer anything substantial over the $20 options and still be profitable.
It's also possible that I totally missed the mark and hopefully I misunderstood. Would love to learn more @juscxnn

@daviddennison Hey David, AI Starter itself is built for simplicity - and has a long and exciting roadmap to go on, which i really hope you do keep your eyes out for :)
By cutting out exactly the heavy lifting needed, what my vision for AI Starter is that it enables the next generation of Founders to take a leap of faith and get started with trying to launch their first SaaS! It's important not to shortchange the effect that enabling the 0-1 can have on Founders!
The productised tech stacks as a business in a box is only the beginning.
How the founder takes that and makes his business unique, stand out, or better - well that's the magic of it isn't it!
Our offering at the moment is intentionally priced at a fraction of what an aspiring founder would have had to engage in development, and only 1-time.... i'd argue that the opportunity to kick-start an entrepreneurial journey is a substantial offering.
Our launch of AI Starter and its product offering still has a long journey ahead, and we are extremely grateful for all the support early on, to help in developing a 100% no-code, modular AI "Biz-in-a-Box" which is already in the works! So please stay closely tuned for AI Starter v.02 ;)

@adri_maximus hey there! Early supporters will definitely get priority access to updates and especially for the release of our v2 nocode platform.
Happy to hop on a call to run you through a demo but im afraid apart from screenshots I don’t have any others on site 🙏🏻🫡
Thanks for your support - and if you do checkout, please don’t forget to use the producthunt promo code!

I read the website and just want to understand what features are supported for the different APIs. It looks like it does formatting of prompts and returns results. Anything else?

Maker
@john_billington Hey John! :) Specifically on the APIs, we currently support OpenAI GPT, as well as Stable Diffusion via Evoke.
For the OpenAI API, the basic design on the front-end is such that it has as much flexibility and customisability just by changing the "Features" provided.
Where Image generation is concerned, we are working on supporting more models like dreambooth and MJ etc.
As we work on our v2, to provide an even higher level of risk-free launching, hosting and a fully no-code solution, we hope to see new partnerships, collabs between us and perhaps many other Generative AI use cases.

Interesting. How customizable is it? Is there a demo? I'd be interested for a particular niche but would need to know how much I can edit without code

@jungledegen unfortunately i haven't prepared a demo. I'm working on hosting a light version of the product on the site itself as a little preview but that's still in the works.
Customization wise:
1. Landing Page Copy is fully editable and image assets can also be edited from settings page, no code needed.
2. API keys/Email SMTP - also no code needed. all from the admin login fully customizable.
the most you'd need to do on the backend is to change the "default" admin login password and email, as well as probably switch up the logo to your own.
As it is a basic MVP Out of the Box, for custom branding would take a little bit of technical expertise, but we've limited the rest of the development time to be heavily reduced.
As part of your concern on a particular niche:
3. There is a "Feature Setting" page in the admin dashboard, which can directly change the way OpenAI is being called, which can cater to blogpost writing, copywriting, Resume building, legal documentation, etc. *pretty much sky's the limit here*
For Image generation we current have in-built Evoke API to call Stable Diffusion, and theyre currently working on other custom models of SD and Dream Booth inclusive.
We are also working on integrating other AI models and APIs, and as we grow, who knows - maybe even develop a few of our own :)
