This is the AI Gold Rush (now go sell some shovels)

[@naughtiousmaximus7853]

I am building AI generated blockchain microservice-distributed monolith on AWS built on Web3 using AGILE as backbone of development and streamlined collaboration. Estimated value of this company will put me in severe debt.

[@rawallon]

Certainly, Its very nice of you to conveniently exploit future-proof communities dramatically conceptualizing team building partnerships while energistically coordinating pandemic sources of distinctively engineer focused "outside the box" thinking to holistically foster B2C e-markets

Using AI?? Let me dump all of my savings into your SaaS

[@claytonexplains]

I love Convex, and I've already built a full-production AI SaaS with it. Thanks for introducing me to that a few months back. Keep up the great content.

[@valhalla_dev]

Source: working on an image generation startup. Replicate (not sponsored but would love to be lol) is fantastic. It's very affordable and unbelievably powerful. As Cody alluded to, you can and should spend hours tweaking it, but the most powerful part to me is the ability to fine-tune models. Fine tuning means taking a base model and inputting training photos into it to get a specific thing out of it. For me, I upload 1-2 dozen training images of a car, and I can fine tune it on those models to get output images that include that car. For Pieter Levels, he fine tunes it on people's faces so that he can get photorealistic selfies of the input models in various environments. This is awesome because it lets you get the creativity and beauty from randomly generated environments and backgrounds while still maintaining a highly realistic likeness of a specific subject. (also so glad Cody and I are going through our GenAI arc at the same time)

[@WebDevCody]

yeah man, I've spent hours just playing around with prompting. I've tried training a model once and it worked ok. I think in my use case, I'd want to train a model for a "style" or lora, but I haven't had time to look into that. Flux / SDXL seem good enough for generating some images that look "creepy" enough.

[@iamafnanhussain]

I'm impressed by how much AI has progressed in recent years. It seems like there is a tool for almost everything now.

the content keeps on getting better and better👍

This video is awesome. You could make update video every 6 months.

[@joshuaboa-amponsem9483]

I am working on my own project and have so many questions. 1. How do you approach the hosting costs. I am sure they increase dramatically if the site is getting heavy traffic. 2. How do you handle the API costs related to the AI model? 3. What database do you use? 4. Does the site get attacked regularly?

[@WebDevCody]

1. I host on a vps, and it’s typically a pretty flat rate of $3-5 per app. 2. I put a credit card for openai and it just charges the card based on usage. I put spend limits in place for safety 3. Postgres and convex 4. No, and I also put everything behind cloudflare

[@LucasFariaDev]

incredible video, you could probably sell an entire AI Engineering course expanding on each category. thanks Cody for the incredible content

[@deadchannel8431]

Eleven labs gives you the time stamps from their text-to-speech endpoint. This means you don’t have to pass the text-to-speech output into a speech-to-text endpoint

[@collinsk8754]

Great summary! 🙌🙌

[@akoskm]

Great overview of what's available for us to play with! I tried the speech-to-text conversion but had no idea what to build with it so I just wrote a book about how you can use it to build a SaaS. :D Thanks for sharing!

[@shafiq_ramli]

Yeah I used to hate ai before but it's how the world going to move forward. Plus what it can do right now is already impressive. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

[@heijd]

I thought the shovels of the AI industry is stuff like Nvidia chips. Creating SaaS products is chasing gold. Still possibly profitable, but nowhere near the return on selling shovels.

[@shafiq_ramli]

Depends on what business you are offering. Something like ai models are definitely selling shovel.

[@IvanRandomDude]

It is. He is just click baiting.

[@MateoC-f4n]

The shovels are ai courses and ai-related courses. The chips themselves are only accessible to companies, so unless you're a trillionaire you can't get in.

[@cas818028]

If your broke like me, you can use poor man cursor. Which is Claude dev plus the experimental versions of Gemini pro as they don’t charge. Can do a lot of the same things cursor can do

[@sunitjoshi3573]

Thanks, good to know.

[@mdndev2627]

Totally off topic but got to mention the Piccolo shirt. Fire 🔥

[@iamacoder8331]

You can use Postgres and pgvector for vector embeddings.

[@abdulrafayakber3798]

can you make a video on securing your personal saas products,making them scalable and testing them for like basic ddos attacks.

[@johndevnoza4223]

Bro cooking! even im at same path, about AI, and tools u use, but still this video were still informative for me.

[@ShootingUtah]

For coding purposes Claude beats ChatGpt hands down. Almost all the answers are better. Occasionally I run into very similar responses but usually Claude is much better with code specifically.

[@davidliddle6477]

Yeah, where are the shovels? How far do I have to walk to find the shovels?

[@Ss-zg3yj]

What a time! Now I can build ugly HTML/CSS stuff with v0 AI

[@WebDevCody]

L take

[@troneras-tv]

Asking for a friend, do you hire some designer when you are working on a new project? Even with Claude, Cursor, MagicUI, v0, I don't get a design that I'm happy with, and your designs are simple and nice.

[@WebDevCody]

nope, I do it all myself. I did use AI to help with scary story generator and found a reference design on dribbble.

[@troneras-tv]

@@WebDevCody I will tell him to checkout dribble for inspiration;)

Do you use coolify to host your SaaS? Or do you have other recommendation for self hosting?

sure, when I become a SEO professional I can do that

Can you make the icon gerenate the vector as well?

[@WebDevCody]

I'm not sure if you can vectorize the image, but you could use AI to help describe the image, then you could vectorize the description.

[@SeibertSwirl]

Good job babe!!!! First! Love ya

Would've been nice to share the links 🙂

I’m not paid enough to do all that work. Type the name in google

@@WebDevCody Sure, makes sense; hence the "would've bee nice" part 🙂

[@CodeZakk]

thank you how much money you need to start ai saas?

[@WebDevCody]

not much, maybe $5 or so a month for hosting. if you get a few paying users, it'll already start paying for itself.

[@k98killer]

Is it weird that my only real interest in AI/ML has been in reimplementing foundational algorithms from scratch?

[@rowbart3095]

[@gauravvarma3645]

Cursor is great but trypescript stopped working on it and now I have to flip back and forth between vs code and cursor to get both ai and ts 😢

[@Innesb]

That’s strange; I’ve been using Cursor with Typescript this evening (literally for the last hour or so, during which time your message was posted). I’m using the Claude Sonnet 3.5 model. Having said that, Cursor was not working at all about 5-6 hours ago; I kept getting “couldn’t connect” message in composer, but it started working again a little later. It definitely wasn’t my connection; I was using other Internet services successfully. I was somewhat disappointed that I was unable to find a status page for Cursor.

[@ZodakZach]

im not sure all the features cursor has but i would look into a vscode extension called Continue that allows you to pick from various different models to use for like autocomplete and refactoring your code and understanding your codebase. i think its pretty similar to what cursor offers but just not as integrated of an experience as cursor and probably lacks some of the nice features but atleast typescript will work and u wont have to switch between editors because that sounds like a pain. and with continue u just have to pay the normal api cost of what ever model u use and pretty easy to set up.

[@jackmiddleton2080]

I don't understand how you can run a local GPT. Wouldn't it need access to petabytes of information?

[@WebDevCody]

They have smaller models on hugging face. Some are 4gb, some 13gb, etc. the larger the model the better it performs. I don’t think a model requires petabytes. That’s only if you’re training the model

[@ZodakZach]

thats only for training the models, to run them you still need quite a bit of memory especially for like the state of the art models that have more parameters but there are smaller models trained for more specific tasks that you can run locally pretty easily

[@NicolasJoye]

Nice video 🪄 🤯

[@matteokinkela]

Pinecone is OKish. But it's very flaky and you can't do anything on your own. I would suggest pg_vector if you want to learn core RAG.
