Build an AI app without code

AI features, accounts, and usage-based billing — wired into a product you can charge for.

No credit card. Build your first MVP free.

Short answer

How do you build an AI app without code?

The AI is the easy part now — it's an API call. The hard part is everything around it: accounts, saving results, and charging people without losing money on usage. ChatAPI wires the AI together with auth and metered billing so you ship a real AI product, not a demo, and get paid for what people use.

You'd type something like

An AI app that turns meeting notes into action items. Users paste notes, get a structured task list, and can save past results. Free users get 5 runs a month, paid users get unlimited for $15/mo.

What ChatAPI wires together

Real APIs, connected with just enough glue code to behave like one product.

ChatAPI

The routed AI model for generation and reasoning

Clerk

Accounts so each user has their own history

Stripe

Free tier plus paid plans with usage limits

Convex

Save prompts, results, and per-user usage

Vision AI

Add image understanding or OCR if your product needs it

What your MVP includes

Questions founders ask

Which AI model does it use?

ChatAPI routes your app to a capable model under the hood and exposes it through one simple interface, so you don't manage model keys or provider quirks yourself.

How do I stop AI usage from costing more than I charge?

ChatAPI wires usage caps and metered billing, so free users hit a limit and paid plans are priced against real usage. You set the tiers; the enforcement is in the code.

Do I need ML experience?

No. If you can describe what the AI should do and what users pay for it, ChatAPI assembles the working product around that.
