Welcome to ai-tool-starter

This starter exists for one reason: every time you spin up a new AI tool site, the first 80% of the work is identical — SEO basics, a provider-agnostic AI adapter, rate limiting, double opt-in email, analytics, error monitoring. So we built it once.

What you get on day one

  • A working tool page with the standard nine-step run flow (validate → rate-limit → AI → record → return).
  • SEO out of the box: sitemap, robots, OG image, JSON-LD (SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList), hreflang.
  • Email subscription with double opt-in, plus a feedback dialog wired to the database.
  • Auth via magic links, credits ledger, Stripe Checkout + Customer Portal.
  • A read-only admin page for operational checks.

Phases

Phase 1 ships the scaffold. Phase 2 adds the monetization layer. Phase 3 (not yet built) is for programmatic SEO, A/B testing, and async tool queues.

Fork it, rename it, and ship.
