⚠️

Reality: Content & Affiliate Play

Most likely implementation: FullAI operates as an educational hub and affiliate platform rather than an actual API provider. The "API" positioning drives SEO and captures developer interest, but revenue comes from affiliate commissions, display ads, and sponsored content. This model requires zero infrastructure costs and scales better for a small team. Focus should be on high-quality content, SEO optimization, and strategic partnerships with actual API providers.
