Ship a production-ready AI SaaS in 4 hours: the starter kit we launched on Product Hunt today

#nextjs #typescript #saas #webdev

Today we launched on Product Hunt — and the centerpiece is the AI SaaS Starter Kit: a Next.js boilerplate that gets you to production in under 4 hours.

Here's exactly what's in it, why we built it, and who it's for.

The problem

Every AI SaaS has the same foundation:

Auth (NextAuth or Clerk)
Payments (Stripe subscriptions + webhooks)
Database (Prisma + Postgres)
Email (Resend or Nodemailer)
AI integration (OpenAI/Anthropic SDK)
Deployment (Vercel)

Setting this up from scratch takes 30-40 hours. Fighting CORS, webhook signatures, email deliverability, and Prisma migrations is not the work. It's the setup before the work.

What the AI SaaS Starter Kit gives you

/app
  /(auth)           # Sign in, sign up, forgot password
  /(dashboard)      # Gated by auth, subscription-aware
  /api
    /stripe         # Webhook handler with retry logic
    /ai             # Streaming Claude/OpenAI route
/lib
  /stripe.ts        # Checkout, portal, subscription status
  /prisma.ts        # Singleton client
  /auth.ts          # NextAuth config
/prisma
  schema.prisma     # User, Subscription, ApiKey models

Everything is wired. Auth redirects work. Stripe webhooks are verified and idempotent. The AI streaming route handles backpressure.

What you configure

Four env vars and you're live:

NEXTAUTH_SECRET=
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=
DATABASE_URL=

Why 4 hours

30 min: clone, install, set env vars
60 min: customize branding and copy
90 min: add your core feature (the AI thing you're actually building)
60 min: Vercel deploy + Stripe product setup

The rest of the time you'd normally spend is already done.

Who it's for

Solo founders building AI micro-SaaS
Developers who want to ship a side project without infrastructure yak-shaving
Agencies building client MVPs
