The problem it solves

Offering AI image generation to customers sounds simple until you have to track who's paid, how many credits they have left, and where their files are stored. Managing all of that by hand isn't sustainable as more people use it.

Who it fits

Businesses that want to sell AI image generation as a service through a chat app.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a text prompt or a photo with edit instructions
  2. Their credit balance is checked before proceeding
  3. An AI model generates or edits the image at the requested resolution
  4. The finished image is stored and sent back to the customer
  5. Credit purchases are confirmed and the balance updates automatically
What you get

Images customers pay credits to generate

Customers can generate or edit AI images right inside Telegram, pay with credits, and get the finished image sent straight back to them.

What you get

A generated or edited image delivered to the customer, plus an up-to-date credit balance and stored payment record.

What you need

A Telegram bot account, an image generation API key, a cloud storage account, and a payment provider account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
