The Problem

Most AI solutions are overengineered for simple tasks. Users need lightweight, focused AI that does one thing exceptionally well without the overhead.

The Story Behind This App

TinyAI

Microscopic AI models for laser-focused tasks.

Key Features

1. Single-Purpose Models

What: Tiny AI models trained for one specific task

Why: Extreme efficiency and accuracy for focused needs

2. Instant Deployment

What: Sub-second startup and response times

Why: No waiting for model loading or processing

3. Minimal Resource Usage

What: Runs on devices with <100MB RAM

Why: Accessible on any device

User Journey

  1. 1 User identifies a specific repetitive task
  2. 2 Selects or trains a TinyAI for that exact use case
  3. 3 AI loads instantly when needed
  4. 4 Performs task with minimal latency
  5. 5 Unloads to free resources

Technical Architecture

Frontend

Vanilla JS for minimal overhead

Backend

Go microservices

Data

In-memory caching only

APIs

  • WebAssembly for browser deployment
  • Edge function compatible
  • REST API with single endpoint

Hosting

Cloudflare Workers for edge deployment

Moonshot Features (v2.0)

  • AI model marketplace for micro-tasks
  • Composable TinyAIs for complex workflows
  • On-device training for personalization
  • P2P model sharing network

Market Research

Similar to: Hugging Face Models, TensorFlow Lite, Core ML

Different because: Focus on single-task excellence vs general purpose

Target users: Developers needing lightweight AI for specific features
