awesome-generative-ai-apps

awesome-generative-ai-apps is a GitHub directory of 50+ open-source, MIT-licensed generative AI SaaS templates — each a complete, sellable product with Stripe billing, Google OAuth, and AI generation already wired up — maintained by Anil Matcha and the SamurAIGPT org.

What is awesome-generative-ai-apps?

awesome-generative-ai-apps is a curated collection of 50+ working AI products, not demos or UI kits. Each app takes a text prompt, photo upload, or URL as input and produces images, videos, voiceovers, or written content, depending on the template. Every app runs on the same production-ready stack — Next.js 14 with the App Router, Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL on Supabase or Neon, NextAuth for Google OAuth, Stripe Checkout and webhooks for payments, and Tailwind CSS for styling — and is deployable to Vercel with one click. The repository is maintained by Anil Matcha, who also publishes companion projects like ai-creator-academy and Open-Generative-AI.

Key Features

• 50+ complete AI SaaS apps — spanning image generation, video generation, beauty and fashion try-ons, e-commerce product photography, real estate staging, portrait and avatar tools, writing and content, AI agents and chatbots, and audio and voice.
• Monetization-ready billing — every template includes Stripe Checkout and webhooks that grant credits on payment confirmation; the AI headshot generator example shows ~95% margins when charging $29 for a 10-headshot pack.
• Google OAuth — authentication is pre-built with NextAuth, so no custom auth system is needed.
• MuAPI integration — 100+ AI models are available through MuAPI, which handles async polling, retries, and failover; swapping models does not require changing app code.
• One-click Vercel deploy — each template's README includes a Deploy to Vercel button that puts the app live on a CDN immediately.
• MIT license — full ownership: rebrand, self-host, white-label, and charge whatever you want with no royalties or revenue share.

Who is it for?

• Indie hackers — clone a niche AI app (headshots, virtual staging, video clipping), brand it, and launch it as a paid product within a weekend.
• Freelancers and agencies — white-label AI tools for clients and bill on their behalf; the included ai-creator-academy curriculum covers how to sell these apps.
• SaaS founders — use any template as a starting boilerplate; the auth, billing, and async job infrastructure is already built, leaving only distribution and niche marketing.

What can you do with awesome-generative-ai-apps?

• Launch a paid AI image product — fork the AI Headshot Generator or Nano Banana Generator, set Stripe keys, and start charging per pack or per month.
• Build a video business — deploy the AI YouTube Shorts Generator or AI Clipping Generator to offer short-form clipping as a subscription, competing with tools like Opus Clip.
• Create a virtual try-on storefront — use TryOn AI or the AI Hairstyle Simulator to serve fashion and beauty customers.
• Self-host a platform — stand up Open Generative AI to offer 200+ image and video models with no content filters, positioning against Leonardo AI and Krea.

How does it work?

Each template follows the same quick start: clone the repository from GitHub, copy the .env.example file to .env, fill in DATABASE_URL, NEXTAUTH_SECRET, Google OAuth credentials, Stripe secret and webhook keys, and a MUAPI_API_KEY, then run npx prisma db push and npm run dev. Alternatively, use the Deploy to Vercel button in each template's README for a one-click deployment.

Pricing

The repository itself is entirely free and MIT licensed. You keep 100% of the revenue your clones generate; the only costs are AI compute through MuAPI (the headshot example estimates ~$1.50 per 10-headshot pack) and your own Stripe and hosting fees.

FAQ

Is awesome-generative-ai-apps free?

Yes, the repository is MIT licensed and entirely free to download. You can fork any template, rebrand it, and sell it with no royalties or revenue share; the only ongoing cost is AI compute via MuAPI and your own app hosting.

What AI models do the apps use?

The templates connect to MuAPI, which provides access to 100+ models for image, video, audio, and text generation. MuAPI handles async polling, retries, and failover, and models can be swapped without editing application code.

What tech stack do the templates use?

Every template shares the same foundation: Next.js 14 (App Router), Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL via Supabase or Neon, NextAuth with Google OAuth, Stripe Checkout and webhooks, Tailwind CSS, and Vercel deployment.

Do I need to build auth and billing myself?

No, auth and billing are pre-built in every template. Google OAuth handles user login, and Stripe Checkout plus webhooks handle payments, with credit balances and job history stored in PostgreSQL through Prisma.

How many apps are included?

The repository lists over 50 complete AI SaaS apps across ten categories, including platforms, image generation, video generation, beauty and fashion, e-commerce, real estate, portrait and avatar, writing, agents, and audio.
