How I Built an AI Image & Video Generator in 2 Weekends

Two weekends. One idea. A fully functional AI image and video generator.

I wanted to create something that lets anyone generate stunning AI images and videos without technical knowledge. Here's how I built AI Gen.

The Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js with Tailwind CSS
• AI Generation: Replicate API for image and video generation
• Authentication: NextAuth.js
• Database: PostgreSQL with Prisma

Key Features

• 🎨 Text-to-image generation with multiple AI models (FLUX, Stable Diffusion, etc.)
• 🎬 Image-to-video conversion
• 🖼️ Support for various aspect ratios and styles
• 💳 Simple credits system for usage tracking

Challenges Faced

1. API Rate Limiting: Had to implement smart queuing and caching
2. Image Optimization: Ensuring fast loading while maintaining quality
3. User Experience: Making AI generation feel instant even when it's not
