The Claude Code prompt

Build an AI Art Generator web app. People search for "ai art generator" about 390,000 times a month, plus related searches like "ai artwork creator", "artificial intelligence art", "ai painting generator". The goal is a tool that ranks for those searches and makes money.

What it should do:
Build an AI art generator web app. Create a homepage with a large text area labeled 'Describe the artwork you want to create' and an 'Generate Art' button. Add style selector buttons like 'Renaissance', 'Modern', 'Abstract', 'Photorealistic'. When users generate, show a loading animation with artistic effects. Display the generated artwork in a gallery format with save and share options. Include an inspiration section with example prompts. Use an artistic color palette with elegant typography. Focus on the text-to-art generation flow first - you can integrate actual AI models later.

How to build it:
1. Read this folder first. If it is empty, set up Next.js (App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind). Write a short PLAN.md with the pages, components, any library or API you need, and what you are leaving for later. Then build.
2. Put the tool itself on the homepage so a visitor can use it within seconds, with no sign-up. Do the processing in the browser where you can, so it is fast and cheap to run. Look at how Artbreeder, DeepAI, NightCafe do it and make ours simpler and faster.
3. Make it rank. Use "ai art generator" in the title tag, H1 and meta description. Under the tool, add a short how-to and an FAQ with FAQPage schema, and add a sitemap and robots.txt. Scaffold these programmatic pages from one template and a data file: /ai-art-generator-[style], /generate-[art-type]-with-ai, /ai-artist-in-[artistic-movement].
4. Monetisation: Freemium: 15 free artworks/day, $12/mo unlimited + commercial license. Add a pricing page and the free usage limit, and leave Stripe checkout as a clearly marked stub with the environment variables it needs.
5. Run it locally and test the main flow end to end, including edge cases like empty input and very large files. Fix what breaks, then finish with a summary of what works, what is stubbed and how to deploy it to Vercel.

Paste it into Claude Code in an empty folder. It plans first, so read PLAN.md and steer before it starts building.
