Looking for beta testers : ArchitectGBT (solo-built AI model selector)

Hey indie hackers! 👋

I'm shipping my second (first one was allpub.co) solo SaaS and recruiting beta testers.

What I built:

ArchitectGBT (architectgbt.com) - A tool that finds your perfect AI model
in 60 seconds.

Prompt about your project → Get model recommendation (latest AI models used) + real
cost breakdown + production code templates (templates feature coming soon).

Why I built it:

I was wasting 2-3 hours per project choosing between Claude, GPT, Gemini,
Llama, etc. Then I'd pick wrong and waste money. Got frustrated enough
to build a solution.

How it works:

  1. Visit architectgbt.com
  2. Answer: What's your use case? Budget? Timeline? Team size?
  3. Get AI model recommendation with cost breakdown + code examples
  4. Ready-to-go code templates (coming soon)

Who I'm looking for:

  • Indie hackers who actively use AI models
  • People willing to give honest feedback (good AND bad)
  • Early supporters who'll help me launch on Product Hunt in mid-January

What you get:

✅ Free beta access (normally $X/month)
✅ Early founder discount - % off forever
✅ Direct access to me (founder) for feature requests
✅ Your name in launch credits (optional)

Targeting: 100+ before Product Hunt launch

    Congrats on getting this to beta — model selection only becomes clear once people actually rely on it.

    At this stage, what’s the one behavior you’re watching to know ArchitectGPT is useful — users switching models with confidence, coming back for multiple projects, or asking for deeper comparisons?

    1. 1

      Great question, to be honest, all of them. But most importantly, users coming back for multiple projects...

      1. 1

        That makes a lot of sense.

        Coming back for multiple projects is a much stronger signal than model switching in isolation — it suggests ArchitectGPT is reducing decision cost, not just helping with a single choice.

        In my experience, once a tool becomes the default place someone starts a new project, the rest (deeper comparisons, confidence in switches) tends to follow naturally.

        Sounds like you’re watching the right leading indicator for long-term usefulness.

        1. 1

          thanks man. Would love to see if you want to try out the product...

          1. 1

            Appreciate that.

            I’m not jumping into tools as a tester right now, but I like the way you’re thinking about repeat usage as the core signal — that’s usually where real products separate from helpers.

            Curious to see how that pattern evolves as more users onboard.
