Problem Statement
Virtual assistants and knowledge workers in emerging economies are priced out of frontier AI tools. ChatGPT Plus costs $20/month � more than a day's wage in many markets. These workers need AI for real productivity (managing client calendars, analyzing documents, drafting content) but cannot justify subscription fees. minai solves this with true pay-as-you-go pricing: top up $0.10 via MiniPay, use what you need, see the cost of every message. No subscriptions, no minimums, no credit cards required � just crypto micropayments on Celo.
minai is an AI assistant built for virtual assistants and freelancers in emerging economies. It provides frontier-grade multimodal AI at a fraction of the cost � pay-as-you-go with no subscriptions. Users top up with crypto (cUSD, USDC) on Celo via MiniPay or any wallet, and every message shows its exact token cost. Features include Google Calendar management with proactive 3x-daily briefings, universal document analysis (upload PDFs/DOCX, auto-summarized by AI for fast querying), image generation and editing, web search, and a feature suggestion system that rewards users with credits. The platform handles real money on Celo mainnet with proper security: rate limiting, fail2ban, encrypted sessions, and a per-user HD wallet system for deposits.
