Blake Anderson’s free MIT-licensed playbook for building useful, profitable apps in 2026. Point a coding agent at AGENTS.md.

About AI App Playbook

AI App Playbook is a free repository by Blake Anderson at Ai App Playbook. The README title is “How to build useful, profitable apps in 2026.” Clone it and point a coding agent at AGENTS.md. Anderson says to paste that into Claude Code or OpenCode, in an empty folder.

He writes that he scaled five apps to $100k or more in monthly recurring revenue in three years, and that this is the stack he would start with today. That revenue figure is his claim. Chapters run from a niche through costs and security.

The license is MIT. The README centers on Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2, with Better Auth, PlanetScale at scale, OpenRouter and DeepSeek by default, Superwall, Stripe, and Tinybird. It also prints his own cost estimates, labeled as estimates at list prices as of October 26, 2026.

Pricing: The playbook is free under the MIT license. Cost tables in the README are Anderson’s estimates at list prices as of October 26, 2026, not a price for the repo.

Pricing model: Free
