AI API Relay and Value-Added Service Product Concept
Product Development
👤 AI product developers, content creators, tech entrepreneurs
The document records a discussion between the author and C1 about developing an AI API relay and value-added service product. The author believes that merely acting as an API relay lacks premium pricing potential, while value-added services can provide higher pricing power by selling product services rather than AI labor. Building an API pool is also highlighted as a foundational infrastructure to reduce costs. The document further explores the concept of CZONE, defining it as an Integrated Content Environment (ICE) for content creation, emphasizing its comprehensiveness as a creative environment beyond just an editor.
- ✨ AI API relay should be combined with value-added services to enhance pricing power
- ✨ Building an API pool is a foundational infrastructure to reduce costs
- ✨ CZONE aims to be an Integrated Content Environment (ICE) for content creation
- ✨ Value-added services sell product services rather than AI labor

CZON Product Optimization and CZONE Vision Analysis
Product Development
👤 Product developers, tech enthusiasts, readers interested in content creation tools and Web3 applications
This article documents the author's optimization work on the CZON product on January 28, 2026, including adding HTTP Proxy support for GB users to resolve OpenAI API call issues. The author reflects that CZON's closed-loop process is somewhat rigid and considers using GitHub Actions to achieve automated operation to lower the user barrier. Meanwhile, the article details the comparison with CZONE's vision—a completely barrier-free content creation platform where users only need GitHub login to create, edit, and publish content, with data based on Markdown and Git, aligning with the Web3 spirit. The author plans to continue testing CZON's implementation and debates whether to further optimize it to balance usability and technical complexity.
- ✨ Added HTTP Proxy support to CZON to resolve user issues with calling the OpenAI API
- ✨ CZON already has two early users, and the author plans to test the product's implementation
- ✨ Considering using GitHub Actions to achieve automated closed-loop for CZON to lower the usage barrier
- ✨ CZONE is positioned as a completely barrier-free content creation platform, based on GitHub OAuth login
- ✨ CZONE data is based on Markdown and Git, allowing users to export autonomously, aligning with the Web3 spirit
