40+ Project Templates to Kickstart Your AI Coding

Don't Start from Scratch

Every project starts with the same tedious questions: What features do I need? How should I structure the database? Which tech stack makes sense?

Our template library gives you battle-tested answers. Choose a template, customize it for your needs, and generate documentation in minutes instead of hours.

What's in a Template?

Each template includes:

• Pre-written project description: Professional copy you can edit or use as-is
• Smart questionnaire hints: Relevant questions based on project type
• Tech stack recommendations: Proven frameworks and libraries for this category
• Common feature sets: Must-haves, nice-to-haves, and roadmap suggestions
• Best practices: Architecture patterns and security considerations

Customizing Templates

Why Templates Save Time

Here's what our users report:

Without template:  45-60 minutes to write project description
With template:     5-10 minutes to customize

Average time saved: 40-50 minutes per project

That's time you can spend actually building your product instead of planning documentation.

Real-World Tech Stacks

Every template recommends proven technology choices:

• SaaS apps: Next.js + React + PostgreSQL + Stripe
• E-commerce: Next.js + Shopify API + Stripe + Vercel
• Mobile apps: React Native + Expo + Supabase + RevenueCat
• Content platforms: Next.js + Contentful + Vercel + Algolia
