Every developer knows the blank-screen moment. You have an idea — an app, a tool, a side project — but you don't know where to start. What framework? What folder structure? How do you wire up env vars and a deploy? That hesitation kills more projects than any technical problem. Project Starter-kit answers those questions in under two minutes. Describe your idea in a 7-question form. The app sends your inputs to an AI engine. You get back a complete, opinionated Project Blueprint with five sections: what you're building, your recommended stack with reasoning, a clean folder structure, key starter files (package.json, .env.example), and six numbered steps to go from zero to running locally. Copy as markdown, download as .md, or start over. Built with IBM Bob — the IDE coding partner that wrote the components, the design system, the parser, and the multi-provider AI abstraction. Every commit was paired with Bob. At runtime, the app uses a pluggable engine: watsonx, Anthropic, OpenAI, or an offline demo mode. Swap providers with one environment variable. Same prompt, same blueprint, different engine — engineered for demo resilience. Stack: Next.js 16, TypeScript 5, Tailwind v4, deployed on Vercel. Pure monochrome design (Vercel meets Linear): DM Serif Display headlines, DM Mono body, no gradients, generous white space. The result is a live, working POC — not a mockup — that solves a pain every developer at every skill level has felt.
