I want to create a few simple AI tools. Basically I get text from the user and based on custom prompts/instructions I give them a list of ideas (text generated with OpenAI API). I might want to accept also URLs, images and PDFs as inputs.
Some of my tools will be free and open. Others will be paid (monthly subscription), so I need payments, authentication, etc.
I guess the quickest option would be to use some boilerplate or template. I’ve done some research, but I’m completely lost between dozens of options: SaaS boilerplates, AI-specific boilerplates, Github templates from Vercel/Langchain/others, templates or kits from Backend as a Service providers (Supabase/Firebase), frameworks with many “batteries included” such as Laravel…
I know some basic Python and HTML/CSS. Nothing else. I want to learn and also experiment with AI coding helpers (Cursor? Replit AI? v0?), but not spend several months before launching if possible. So I want something easy to start, but also flexible (being able to add features and make changes in the future without having to “fight” with the limitations of a certain boilerplate, no-code tool or whatever).
What do you recommend?
General advice and specific tools are both welcomed
