The first thing visitors see on AIBridge is a "Try Playground →" button.
Not "Get Started." Not "Sign Up Free." Try the playground.

Behind that button is a page with 15 AI models, no login, and 10 free
requests per day. You pick a model, type a prompt, see the response.
If you like it, registration is one click via GitHub — no email, no
password, no verification code.

What happens after that click

Login lands you on an onboarding page, not a dashboard. Your API key is
right there with a copy button. A curl command you can paste and run
immediately. Python SDK code. Three things on one screen. 30 seconds
from login to first API response.

From there you either go to the dashboard (usage tracking, upgrade
options) or the prompt library (24 ready-to-use prompts organized
by category — code review, translation, classification, debugging).

Every page answers exactly one question:

Landing page → "What is this?"
Playground → "Can I try it?"
Onboarding → "How do I start?"
Dashboard → "How much have I used?"
Prompt library → "What should I ask?"

The model behind all of it

One OpenAI-compatible endpoint. 15 Chinese AI models — DeepSeek,
Qwen, GLM, Kimi K3 — all behind the same import openai as always.

import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="mb-xxx",
    base_url="https://aibridge-api.com/v1"
)
client.chat.completions.create(model="kimi-k3", messages=messages)

Change the model string. Nothing else changes.

K3 has a 1M token context window and always-on reasoning — no toggle
needed. DeepSeek costs $0.27/M. Qwen handles multilingual. GLM-4 Plus
excels at complex Chinese reasoning.

Why the homepage doesn't push signup

Most API products optimize for registration. They put the signup form
front and center, push the "Get Started" button, measure conversion by
how many people fill out the form.

I optimized for first use. The first time someone types a prompt into
the playground and sees a response come back — that's the conversion
event. Registration happens after, not before.

Since making that change, registration-to-signup conversion sits around
19%. The average for SaaS signup walls is around 2-4%.

Let people use the thing first. Ask them to commit second.
