MVP BuilderEhsan Mirdamadi's fourth category of AI coding tool, distinguished from prototyping tools by intent and output quality. A prototyping tool generates something to click through and experiment with — designed to be cheap and fast to throw away. An MVP builder generates a minimal viable product: production-ready code built to scale from day one, complete with back-end, data models, and structured handoff for the last mile. The distinction matters because founders often use Category 2 (prototyping) tools expecting Category 4 (MVP) output.Nano BananaInformal name for Google's Gemini image model, referenced as a strong alternative to GPT Image 2 for generating anchor frames.NemotronNVIDIA's family of open models.Next.jsA popular framework for building fast websites.Opportunity EngineEndear's AI feature that surfaces daily outreach opportunities with pre-drafted messages.Pay Per UseCloudflare's successor to Pay Per Crawl.
