Hook — Model থেকে Business
Model accuracy ৯৫% মানে কিছু না, যদি কেউ টাকা না দেয়। AI SaaS মানে ML কে subscription product এ রূপান্তর — auth, billing, quota, UX, support — সব মিলিয়ে।
Idea Validation
- Painful, frequent, paid problem খুঁজো।
- Niche বাছো — ‘AI for X’ (lawyer, real estate, e-commerce)।
- Landing page → waitlist → 50 signup before code।
- Customer interview ১০+ — তারা আজ কী use করে?

Stripe webhook → update plan / quotaAuth + Multi-tenant
- Supabase Auth (email + Google + GitHub)।
- Row-Level Security — `user_id = auth.uid()`।
- Workspace/team table — invite via email।
- Roles separate table (`user_roles`) — never store role on profile।
Billing — Stripe Pattern
webhook.py
@app.post("/api/stripe/webhook")
async def webhook(req: Request):
event = stripe.Webhook.construct_event(
await req.body(), req.headers["stripe-signature"], WEBHOOK_SECRET
)
if event["type"] == "customer.subscription.updated":
sub = event["data"]["object"]
db.update_user_plan(sub["customer"], sub["items"]["data"][0]["price"]["id"])
return {"ok": True}- Plans: Free, Pro, Business — clear feature gate।
- Usage metering: token spend, credit balance।
- Hard cap before surprise bill।
- Failed payment → grace period → downgrade।
Cost Control
- Per-user daily quota (DB column বা Redis counter)।
- Cheaper model default, premium upgrade এ বড় model।
- Cache: exact + semantic — 30–60% call বাঁচায়।
- Batch background job for non-realtime।
- Per-tenant cost dashboard — কে কত খরচ করল।
AI UX Best Practice
- Streaming response — token দিয়ে token।
- Skeleton + progress — wait কখনো silent না।
- Edit + regenerate button।
- Show source / citation — trust বাড়ায়।
- Empty state এ example prompt।
- Mobile-first responsive।
Launch Checklist
- Landing page + pricing + demo video।
- Product Hunt + Hacker News ‘Show HN’।
- Twitter/LinkedIn build-in-public thread।
- Free trial বা freemium funnel।
- Analytics: signup → activation → paid conversion।
- Support: Crisp/Intercom + docs site।
Growth Loops
- Shareable output (watermark / referral link)।
- Template gallery → SEO landing pages।
- Affiliate / partner program।
- Weekly changelog email — retention বাড়ায়।
- User feedback → public roadmap (Canny)।
Summary
এক নজরে
AI SaaS = Niche problem + Lean stack + Auth + Stripe + Cost control + AI-native UX। Model নয়, distribution জিতে। Ship fast, talk to users, iterate weekly।
