Hypotenuse AI
AI product descriptions, campaigns, images, and content workflows
Do not mistake the interface for the product. Hypotenuse AI's durable value is model, data, workflow, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.
Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability
What you give up
- high-fidelity color, format, and export handling
- proprietary models or classifiers
- brand-trained workflows
- team governance and integrations
- vendor-managed prompt and quality tuning
Why people still pay
Hypotenuse AI: Customers pay for tuned workflows, predictable quality, governance, and a product team absorbing model churn rather than for the text box alone.
Your build guide
The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.
Before you start
- OpenAI API key in .env
- Node.js 22
- SQLite database
- Explicit README warning that this is a consolation build, not a production replacement
Use these project rules and optional skill references alongside the prompt. Review each skill before adding it to your agent; the AGENTS.md export includes the same guidance.
Project rule, data: Model source documents, editable pages or notes, internal links, revisions, and exports; retain source IDs and timestamps.
Project rule, behavior: For AI ecommerce content, accept source text, a named instruction preset, and a user-selected model credential.
Project rule, recovery: A model failure cannot overwrite the source; quoted facts must stay traceable to supplied text or be marked unverified.
Implementation plan
Phase 1, architecture and data
Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + SQLite. Model source documents, editable pages or notes, internal links, revisions, and exports; retain source IDs and timestamps.
Phase 2, implement
For AI ecommerce content, accept source text, a named instruction preset, and a user-selected model credential.
Phase 3, implement
Generate a draft as a new revision, preserving the source and recording prompt/model metadata.
Phase 4, review and output
Let the writer compare revisions, accept edits, and export Markdown.
Phase 5, recovery and acceptance
Verify this invariant with a saved fixture: A model failure cannot overwrite the source; quoted facts must stay traceable to supplied text or be marked unverified. State the practical limit: high-fidelity color, format, and export handling.
Build me a focused AI ecommerce content workflow for the personal core of Hypotenuse AI. Requirements: - Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + SQLite. Model source documents, editable pages or notes, internal links, revisions, and exports; retain source IDs and timestamps. - Paid product context: AI product descriptions, campaigns, images, and content workflows. Build only this DIY scope: Build a private AI ecommerce content workspace that sends user text to one chosen model, stores versions, applies reusable instructions, and exports Markdown. - For AI ecommerce content, accept source text, a named instruction preset, and a user-selected model credential. - Generate a draft as a new revision, preserving the source and recording prompt/model metadata. - Let the writer compare revisions, accept edits, and export Markdown. - Use a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views. Required input or access: OpenAI API key in .env. Keep credentials in .env. - Acceptance: with one labelled sample, show the input, saved intermediate state, and exported result; verify this invariant: A model failure cannot overwrite the source; quoted facts must stay traceable to supplied text or be marked unverified. - Out of scope: high-fidelity color, format, and export handling; proprietary models or classifiers. Keep this a personal, inspectable workflow. - Include a README with setup, a sample input, required keys or permissions, data location, and the supported scope.

Questions about Hypotenuse AI
Can you build your own Hypotenuse AI with AI?
A full replacement is not the recommended project. Do not mistake the interface for the product. Hypotenuse AI's durable value is model, data, workflow, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.
What does the Hypotenuse AI build prompt cover?
The prompt starts with this scope: Build a private AI ecommerce content workspace that sends user text to one chosen model, stores versions, applies reusable instructions, and exports Markdown. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: high-fidelity color, format, and export handling; proprietary models or classifiers; brand-trained workflows. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.
How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?
Start with the Hypotenuse AI prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.
How long will this Hypotenuse AI project take?
The catalogue estimate is not a true replacement; consolation build in one to two days for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.
What would I give up by replacing Hypotenuse AI?
high-fidelity color, format, and export handling; proprietary models or classifiers; brand-trained workflows; team governance and integrations; vendor-managed prompt and quality tuning. Hypotenuse AI: Customers pay for tuned workflows, predictable quality, governance, and a product team absorbing model churn rather than for the text box alone.
What can I use instead of building Hypotenuse AI?
The prior-art section lists Ollama, Open WebUI as starting points. Review their current scope, license and maintenance before adopting one.
