App for Generating Text into Images with Editing and Sharing Features

Summary: An app for Windows/Linux/Mac generating AI-based images from text prompts, featuring user authentication, manipulation tools, and a sync option for mobile & web platforms. Key innovations include effective rate limit management and seamless cross-platform functionalities, addressing challenges of user convenience and cost-effectiveness.

Creation of an app initially for Windows/Linux/Mac to generate text inputs into images, using one of the known AIs, such as OpenAI Dall-E 2/3, Stable Diffusion, Imagen2 by Google, etc with the following features:

  • User authentication/authorization, with local storage to save the images for future use, without the obligation for the user to export/share the image right away
  • Ability to use image manipulation features like resizing, background removal, and others
  • Ability to download/export the image in multiple formats, sizes, and resolutions
  • Album feature so the user can organize images based on sub-categories that he can create
  • Ability to share the image on social media: Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc
  • Option to purchase/manage credits using Stripe so the user can keep using the image generation feature

The main challenges to overcome are

  • How to control the rate limits to avoid paying for the usage without charging the customer, since most of the APIs for these AIs upgrade your tier once you surpass the rate limit, normally without a prior warning
  • How differentiate this from the normal web-based alternatives that we have today, maybe offering the image manipulation features could be a plus, not sure.

About the last point, thinking of a good value proposition: one idea that could be very nice but also very hard to implement is to have a web-based AND a mobile solution alongside the desktop app, and then sync everything in one single account for the user, using a cloud-based solution, not sure how complex this will be but I guess the value proposition would raise if this solution is implemented, because the user could easily generate an image from the mobile, edit in the desktop, and share using the web version, for example.

Also, how to properly have a good pricing on this, since using the AI will elevate the costs for sure. But no matter what, the app should always have a free tier with limited or full use, but with limited features/image generation amount.
