General

When is id8 launching?

We're planning to launch in 8-10 weeks. Join our waitlist to be notified the moment we go live and get priority access.

How much does id8 cost?

Pricing will be announced closer to launch. We're designing a fair, usage-based model that scales with your needs. Waitlist members will receive early-bird pricing discounts.

What happens when I join the waitlist?

You'll receive updates on our progress, get notified when we launch, and receive priority access. You'll also be eligible for special launch pricing and bonuses.

Is id8 only for solo developers?

No! id8 works great for solo indie hackers, but it's also valuable for technical founders, small teams, and product managers who want market validation and quality code.

What kind of apps can I build with id8?

id8 is optimized for modern web applications including SaaS products, marketplaces, productivity tools, social platforms, and B2B applications. We focus on Next.js/React applications with TypeScript.

Do I need coding experience to use id8?

Some coding knowledge is helpful but not required for the market research and planning phases. For implementation, you'll get more value if you can review and customize the generated code. Our skill assessment helps match the platform's approach to your level.

Technical

What tech stack does id8 use?

id8 generates modern, production-ready code using Next.js 14+ (App Router), TypeScript 5.x, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui components, Supabase for backend, and the Vercel AI SDK. This stack is optimized for performance, developer experience, and scalability.

Can I use my own API keys?

Yes! You can bring your own API keys for AI models, cloud services, and third-party integrations. This gives you control over costs and data privacy.

Does id8 work with VS Code?

Yes! id8 has both a web interface and a VS Code extension. Use the web app for planning and market research, then switch to VS Code for implementation. Your project syncs seamlessly between both.

What AI models does id8 use?

id8 uses a combination of leading AI models optimized for different tasks: Claude for code generation and reasoning, GPT-4 for market research and analysis, and specialized models for specific use cases. You can also configure your own model preferences.

Can I deploy to platforms other than Vercel?

Yes! While we optimize for Vercel deployment, the generated Next.js code is standard and can be deployed to any platform that supports Node.js applications (Netlify, AWS, Railway, etc.).

Does id8 integrate with my existing codebase?

At launch, id8 is optimized for new projects. Integration with existing codebases is on our roadmap. For now, you can generate components and modules that you manually integrate into existing projects.

What databases does id8 support?

Our primary integration is with Supabase (PostgreSQL), which covers most use cases. Support for other databases (MongoDB, MySQL, Prisma with various backends) is on our roadmap.

Features

How accurate is the market research?

Our AI analyzes thousands of data points including market reports, competitor analysis, search trends, and customer feedback. While no prediction is perfect, users in our beta testing found the market research 85%+ aligned with their own manual research, but completed in minutes instead of weeks.

Can I customize the generated code?

Absolutely! The generated code is clean, well-commented, and yours to modify. We encourage customization. id8 provides a solid foundation, but you have complete control over the final implementation.

What is "AI Blast Capacity"?

AI Blast Capacity lets you run multiple AI agents in parallel to tackle complex projects faster. Instead of one agent working sequentially, you can have multiple agents building different features simultaneously, dramatically reducing development time for large projects.

How does requirement-code traceability work?

Every piece of generated code is linked to specific requirements. You can trace from a requirement to see what code implements it, or from code back to requirements. This makes impact analysis and maintenance much easier.

Does id8 generate tests?

Yes! id8 generates tests for critical functionality including unit tests, integration tests, and E2E tests. Test coverage is part of our "quality over speed" philosophy.

Can I use id8 for mobile apps?

Currently, id8 focuses on web applications. React Native support for mobile apps is on our roadmap for a future release.

Billing

How does the credit system work?

Details will be announced at launch. We're designing a fair, transparent system where credits are consumed based on AI usage (market research, code generation, etc.). Different features consume different amounts of credits based on computational cost.

Is there a free tier?

We're considering a free tier for trying out the platform and small projects. Details will be announced at launch. Waitlist members will receive bonus credits to get started.

Can I use my own AI API keys to reduce costs?

Yes! If you bring your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), you'll pay lower platform fees since you're covering the AI costs directly. This option is great for power users and teams.

What happens if I run out of credits?

You can purchase more credits at any time. Your projects and data remain accessible even without credits - you just won't be able to generate new code or research until you top up.

Support

What kind of support do you offer?

We offer email support for all users, with priority support for paid plans. We also maintain comprehensive documentation, video tutorials, and an active community forum.

Can I get help with my specific project?

Yes! We offer consulting and hands-on support for complex projects as an add-on service. Contact us at hello@id8.one to discuss your needs.

Do you offer refunds?

We'll have a clear refund policy announced at launch. We want you to be happy with id8, so if it's not a good fit, we'll work with you to make it right.

How can I report bugs or request features?

We welcome feedback! You can report bugs or request features through our support portal, community forum, or by emailing hello@id8.one. We prioritize based on user impact and feedback.

Is there a community?

We're building a community of id8 users to share tips, showcase projects, and help each other. Join the waitlist to get invited to our community Discord when we launch.
