First live workflow

Replace this placeholder with the real product loop

This sandbox should eventually mirror the same shape as a real tool: minimal inputs, one useful free preview, and a clearly gated premium unlock.

Unlock pattern to preserve:
  • One free preview before the paywall
  • A second artifact format after the paid unlock
  • A copy/download pattern you can keep when the real workflow arrives

Product outcome rules

One narrow outcome

Every child tool should help one specific user finish one specific job faster than a general AI chat.

Preview before paywall

Users should see something useful before you ask them to unlock the premium path.

Multiple output formats

If the workflow ends in a deliverable, plan for at least one editable format and one page-ready or export-ready format.

Sandbox guardrails

Replace this placeholder form with the first real user workflow.
Keep inputs minimal and bias toward previewing value before gating with payment.
Wire analytics events before widening the feature set.
Auth boundary

Do not block the first preview with auth unless abuse forces it.

Billing boundary

Use the shared checkout endpoint instead of writing payment logic per project.

Analytics boundary

Track these events first: landing_view, tool_started, preview_generated, paywall_viewed, pricing_viewed, checkout_started, purchase_completed, account_viewed, legal_viewed, support_viewed, premium_unlock_succeeded, artifact_copied, artifact_downloaded, format_selected, faq_expanded.

Builder FAQ

What belongs inside this sandbox?

Only the custom workflow that proves paid demand. Keep shared auth, billing, analytics, and legal logic outside this route.

What should the paid unlock do?

The paid step should unlock a stronger deliverable, not just more tokens. Think better formatting, cleaner export, or a workflow that saves real manual time.

What should I track first?

Track preview generation, paywall views, premium unlocks, and what users copy or download after paying.
