scaffold

Inspiration

I kept running into the same problem building side projects: I wanted AI features (chatbots, geerators, etc.) but didn't want to manage API keys, build backends, or pay per request.

What it does

How Scaffold works: You build a simple form (fields like "topic", "tone", whatever), write a prompt template using {{variables}}, and when users fill it out, they get a perfectly formatted ChatGPT prompt that opens in ChatGPT. They click send and get the AI response. So you're essentially embedding custom AI tools on your site, but:

• No API costs (users send prompts to free ChatGPT)
• No backend needed (just an iframe embed)
• 5 min setup ## How we built it Built through IDEs like cursor with a supabase backend. ## Challenges One of my first launches so many issues debugging and such. Was strenuous but I overcame it. ## Accomplishments that we're proud of Its fully free for us and the dev and the user. ## What we learned To build what you want to use not what you think others would ## What's next for scaffold Supporting more AI capabilities using the same idea.
