AI STACK FOR BOOTSTRAP FOUNDERS/

Full-stack web app platform. Database, auth, hosting, AI integrations — in one. What used to require a backend developer, a DevOps engineer, and a SaaS budget now costs less than a lunch.

The IDE that writes code with you. Not autocomplete — pair programming with a senior engineer who never sleeps. Replaces 80% of what agencies charge you for.

Describe a UI component, get production-ready React. The gap between idea and interface is now measured in seconds. Designers cost €800/day. V0 costs €0.66/day.

The best model for long-context reasoning, code review, and strategic writing. I use Claude for system architecture, legal copy, and anything where quality beats speed.

GPT-4o for speed, image analysis, and operator tasks. My default for rapid iteration, market research, and first drafts. Two LLMs, €38/month. What enterprises used to call an 'AI department'.

Real-time web research with citations. Replaces hours of manual research and expensive analyst subscriptions. Every project starts with a Perplexity deep-dive.

Visual automation builder. When Base44 webhooks meet the real world — CRMs, email, Slack, spreadsheets — Make is the glue. Enterprise called this 'middleware'. I call it Tuesday.

Developer-first email API. Beautiful transactional emails without Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Reliable, fast, cheap. The email stack that used to require a dedicated team now runs on three API calls.

A custom AI agent trained on our CI, brand voice, and sales methodology. Generates on-brand sales assets, social copy, and pitch outlines on demand. What agencies charge six figures to 'strategically produce'.

Project management, client documentation, SOPs, and knowledge base in one. Notion is the brain. I run four active client systems from a single Notion workspace.

Async video for client communication, system walkthroughs, and sales demos. Removes 70% of meetings. A 3-minute Loom replaces a 45-minute call. Do the math.

Global payment infrastructure used by the world's largest companies — available to a solo founder for the same price. No setup fee. No monthly minimum. Revenue on day one.
