The Build Log
How unbottled.ai and next-vibe got built. The architecture decisions, the dead ends, the things that turned out to matter.
123 models. Any modality. One companion.
True multimodal across 123 models, real AI companions with actual character, a skill economy, and a complete rework of everything that was rough. Here's what changed.
One codebase. 13 platforms. Zero compromises.
One endpoint definition. Web form, CLI command, MCP tool, native screen, cron job - simultaneously. Here's how it works.
Build a skill. Share the link. Earn every month.
Skills are pre-configured AI setups you craft once and share anywhere. The referral link in the share URL earns you 10% recurring from every signup. Here's how.
I built a type checker that made AI stop lying to me
AI will use `any` to escape a type error. It will add eslint-disable. It will lie to you. Here's how we fixed the feedback loop.
I've never done affiliate marketing. Can I actually earn money here?
Honest answer: yes, with realistic expectations. Here's how the recurring commission model works if you've never referred anyone before.
My dead trading bot became a platform monitoring engine
I abandoned a trading bot. Years later its architecture became the most interesting part of next-vibe. The pipeline is just endpoints.
You built something with AI. Now earn from sharing it.
Your referral link is a revenue stream you haven't turned on yet. Blog posts, READMEs, tutorials - the math for technical audiences.
I'm an affiliate marketer. What's different about AI subscriptions?
The floor is higher and it rises over time. Monthly recurring commissions from AI subscribers who spend more as the platform grows.
One endpoint. Every surface.
Write one definition.ts per feature. It renders as a web form, CLI command, MCP tool, native screen, cron job - simultaneously.
10% direct. 15% via skill. 20% total. Recurring forever.
