Auth and billing for AI apps

Build a Stripe-like API specifically for AI apps to handle user auth, metered billing, and payments. For developers building commercial AI products.

Why now

The AI app gold rush has created demand for specialized infrastructure to monetize models.

Who for
AI developers
Business model
Transaction fees
Effort
A few months

AI developers spend weeks implementing auth and usage-based billing instead of working on their core product.

A developer-friendly API that handles user accounts, API keys, and per-request billing out of the box.

Indie AI developers and startups would pay a percentage of processed payments to avoid building this themselves.

Start with just Stripe integration and basic user management.

Risk: Competing with established auth providers adding AI-specific features.
