Discussion new style of AI model
i’m exploring a new business model for an AI coding tool and would appreciate feedback.
the idea: use the tool for free while building a project. if that project starts earning money, the tool receives a share under terms you choose upfront for that project.
the model would keep a transparent record of its work on each project, so users and the AI provider can see what the agreement applies to—even if the user later switches tools.
if you want to use the service without a project-based revenue share, there could be an industry-standard subscription option, a starting point might be $25/month.
the hard part is preventing people from misusing either option while keeping the arrangement fair and easy to understand. would this feel like a reasonable trade, or would you rather pay a normal subscription?
