AI that works like a teammate, not a chatbot

Most “AI tools” talk... a lot. Lindy actually does the work.

It builds AI agents that handle sales, marketing, support, and more.

Describe what you need, and Lindy builds it:

“Qualify sales leads”
“Summarize customer calls”
“Draft weekly reports”

The result: agents that do the busywork while your team focuses on growth.

Everyone's debating which AI tools to use for building software.

Google or Claude? Firebase or Supabase?

Stripe or Lemon Squeezy?

Here's what actually works: different tools for different jobs. This is the stack that gets products shipped.

The core principle

Don't use one AI for everything. Split your work by what each tool does best.

Frontend development: Google AI Studio

Backend development: Claude Opus 4.5

UX, architecture, and copywriting: Your choice (Claude handles all three if you want simplicity)

This isn't a minor distinction. It changes how fast you ship.

Frontend: Use Google AI Studio

Google AI Studio is surprisingly good at generating clean React and HTML/CSS. The free tier is generous enough for most side projects.

What to use it for:

• Landing pages and UI components

• React/Next.js page layouts

• CSS styling and responsive design

• Form interfaces and interactive elements

Backend: Use Claude Opus 4.5

Claude handles complex logic, API integrations, and database queries. If your app needs to think, Claude's your pick.

What to use it for:

• API endpoints and server logic

• Database schemas and queries

• Authentication flows

• Third-party integrations (Stripe, email, etc.)

• Debugging complex issues

Infrastructure: Keep it simple

You need five things. That's it.

Database + Auth: Supabase

PostgreSQL under the hood, generous free tier, authentication built in. Firebase works too, but Supabase is cheaper long-term and gives you a real database you can query directly.

Hosting: Vercel

Push to GitHub, site goes live. Zero configuration for Next.js projects. The free tier handles more traffic than you'll have for months.

Payments: Stripe

The standard. Best documentation, widest adoption, AI tools know it well. If you're selling internationally and don't want to handle taxes, use Lemon Squeezy instead—it's a merchant of record that handles invoicing and VAT for you.

Domain: Cloudflare

They sell domains at cost. No markup. Plus you get free DNS, SSL, and basic DDoS protection. Namecheap had price hikes. Cloudflare didn't.

Image generation: Midjourney (manual workflow)

No API, so you generate images in Midjourney, then upload them to your AI coding tool to implement.

Extra step, but the quality is worth it for hero images, backgrounds, and custom graphics.

Built-in AI image generators in coding tools are usually terrible.

Real example: Building a landing page with auth

Step 1: Set up Supabase project, enable email auth

Step 2: Use Google AI Studio to generate landing page UI

Step 3: Use Claude to wire up Supabase auth to your frontend

Step 4: Use Claude to build any API routes you need

Step 5: Push to GitHub, Vercel deploys automatically

Step 6: Point your Cloudflare domain to Vercel

Total cost: $0 until you have real users. Total time: An afternoon.

The even simpler version

If managing multiple AI tools feels like overhead, just use Claude for everything.

It handles both frontend and backend fine.

You'll lose some optimization, but you'll gain simplicity.

The minimal stack:

• Claude (all AI coding)

• Supabase (database + auth)

• Vercel (hosting)

• Stripe (payments)

• Cloudflare (domain)

Five services. That's enough to ship a real product.

What this actually costs

Free tier (getting started): $0-20/month

Paid tiers (scaling up): $100-200/month

Most tools have generous free tiers. You won't hit paid limits until you have real traction.

The bottom line

The tools are good enough now. The bottleneck isn't the stack—it's sitting down and actually building something.

Pick your tools. Stop researching. Start shipping.

Happy building,
