L Launch Your AI Startup

Quickstart

Your AI content business, live in five minutes.

Your AI content business, live in five minutes.

You already have a working storefront. It has a home page, a pricing page, legal pages and sign-in screens, all written. This guide covers the five things that turn it into your business and let you take your first payment.

Nothing here needs a developer. There is no server to set up and nothing to install.


Before you begin

One thing, and it is the only thing you need from outside:

An API key from an AI provider. Your customers' generations run on your key and are billed to your account, which is how you keep the margin. If you do not have one yet, create an account at OpenAI, add a payment method, and generate an API key. It takes about two minutes.

Start with OpenAI if you are unsure — one key covers text, images, voice and transcription, so every tool works.

Now sign in at yourname.euai.cc/admin and let's go.


1. Add your AI key — 1 minute

Setup → AI providers → Add a key

Choose your provider, paste the key, save, and press Test.

Green means you are ready. Red shows the provider's own message, which is usually specific enough to fix straight away — most often billing not set up yet on the provider's side.

Nothing generates until this is done. It is the one step you cannot skip.


2. Choose what you sell — 1 minute

What you sell → Modules & tools

You have inherited a whole library of tools with prompts already written and tested. Switch on a module, then switch on the individual tools inside it.

For a first launch, pick three or four you can confidently describe:

  • Text Generation → Blog Post, Product Description
  • Chat → an assistant, no prompt needed
  • Image Generation → if your audience needs pictures

Resist switching everything on. Four tools your customers understand beat thirty they have to wade through.

If a tool refuses to switch on, it needs a provider you have no key for. The message tells you which. That is the system stopping you selling something that cannot work.


3. Make it yours — 1 minute

Your website → Branding

Click a preset. Six complete colour schemes — Midnight Violet, Deep Ocean, Ember, Forest, Daylight, Carbon. Pick the one closest to your taste and the whole site changes at once.

Then, if you have them to hand:

  • Choose a font
  • Upload your logo

That is genuinely enough for launch. You can spend an afternoon on colours later; right now a preset and a logo make it look like a real business.


4. Set your price — 1 minute

What you sell → Plans & pricing

You already have a free Starter plan and a Pro plan waiting. Open Pro:

  1. Set the price
  2. Set the credits it includes each month
  3. Tick Active
  4. Save

Credits are what your customers spend. Each tool costs a number of credits per run — you set that per tool, and 1 is the default. A plan with 2,000 credits buys somebody roughly 2,000 short pieces of text, or fewer images, depending on how you have priced things.

Not sure what to charge? Look at what a run costs you at your provider, multiply by the credits in the plan, and price comfortably above it.


5. Get paid — 1 minute

Two ways. Pick either, or use both.

Vouchers — nothing to set up

What you sell → Vouchers → Generate

Choose the plan, a code format, and how many codes you want. Take payment however you already do — an invoice, Gumroad, a marketplace, bank transfer, cash at an event — and send the buyer a code. They redeem it and their plan starts.

This is the fastest possible way to start selling. Many people never move off it.

Card payments — connect Paddle

Setup → Paddle

Paste your Paddle Seller ID, API key and client token, copy the webhook URL shown on the page into your Paddle dashboard, and paste the signing secret back.

Then put each plan's Paddle price ID on the matching plan here.

You are live

Open Overview → View storefront. That is your business, and people can sign up and pay right now.

Do this next, honestly

Be your own customer for ten minutes. Open your storefront in a private window, register, buy your own plan, and run a tool. You will spot things in ten minutes that no amount of clicking around the admin area would have shown you.


Then, when you have time

None of this is urgent. All of it is worth doing.

Half an hour Where
Rewrite the home page in your own words Your website → Pages & content
Add your own FAQs and real testimonials Same place
Read and edit your legal pages Same place
Rewrite your welcome email in your voice Your website → Emails
Set your business name, support email and currency Setup → Workspace
Give new customers a few free credits Setup → Workspace
Put it on your own domain Your website → Custom domain

The single highest-value item on that list is the home page hero headline. It is the sentence that does more work than everything else on your site combined.


Quick answers

Do I need my own domain? No. yourname.euai.cc works with HTTPS from day one. Add your own later if you want to.

Do I need Paddle to start? No. Vouchers work with nothing connected at all.

What if a generation fails? Your customer's credits are refunded automatically. Nobody is ever charged for something they did not get.

Can other businesses on the platform see my prompts or customers? No. Every workspace is completely separate.

Can I change a prompt without affecting anyone else? Yes. Every edit is yours alone, and you can reset to the original at any time.

How long are generated files kept? 90 days, then they are deleted. The history stays in your customer's library. Worth telling customers to download what they want to keep.
