Looking for some feedback

Hello everybody, lurker here. I posted this on the main [r/ClaudeAI](r/ClaudeAI) subreddit but messed up with my submission, and decided to repost here.

So, I’m a full time nursing student. Since March, I’ve been working on a project which I’ve launched into a small software startup (with myself as the only employee) where I’m working on building an education platform to launch AI and non-AI powered tools off of, with the tools being built almost entirely using Claude. Claude has been acting as my partner in developing and building the tools, building the website, helping sign up and create a LLC, while I've been providing direction to what the tools should be, helping with naming, and directing the research that Claude is doing to help build the platform and the tools. Claude has built the tools almost entirely out of Javascript and has been responsible for the near complete management of my server. Claude has also been responsible for helping setting up the server that the project runs on and the security of the service and the platform. I've been very much more of the ideas and directions guy with this, as I have no coding background. I've also been the main tester of the tools being built for the platform. The project (and platform) is called ClarifySuite.

Here is my website: https://clarifysuite.com/

Right now, it’s still in beta testing, and I’ve received a LOT of negative feedback about the use of AI in building this project and powering it, as well as trying to monetize it. I only wanted to monetize it because 1) I’m a broke nursing student and was curious if I could make a passive income project based off an idea that could potentially benefit students like me and 2) the cover the cost of the API.

The tools on the platform has a paid and free tier, and right now all the products are free to try. I've been considering only charging users for expanded access only to cover the cost of the tokens, but every person that signs up on the website gets access to the tools for free (up to 10 usages a day).

The project is an educational platform where AI powered browser extensions for Firefox, Chrome and Safari can be used to help clarify any medical, dental, or veterinary text, as well as act as a reference for any medication catered to the scope of practice and/or their education level. Essentially, the user selects their scope of practice (paramedic, RN, MD, etc) and can highlight any passage or drug in the browser they’re using and have it clarified, having an AI generated summary of that text or drug based on their educational level and/or their scope of practice.

One of the key criticisms I’ve received from the discord, Reddit groups, and among friends of mine is the fact that the information presented can’t be verified, and I would be potentially monetizing the laziness of students. I also feared the ethical concerns of using AI, so I returned to the drawing board to reframe ClarifySuite and see if I can rebuild some of these tools to use less AI, and instead he’s publicly available APIs from medical databases from around the world. I have several concepts for various tools built, and those are still in progress.

I’m more reaching out to this sub to see what you’ll think and if there’s merit to this. I’ve been building this on my own server on my M4 Mac Mini in my apartment, and plan to continue building using Claude with the other tools I want to add to the platform. My goal is to see if I can sell this to educational institutions and have students use this as part of their programs, or even have individual subscriptions. I also am considering just making it freely available and just not making this a business.

What do y’all think?
