AI playground
The canonical AI entry in web-sveltekit and how it relates to credits, keys, and guest access.
/dashboard/ai-playground is the canonical AI entry point in web-sveltekit.
Why it matters
ZShip exposes the AI playground as the recommended product flow because it already understands:
- auth state
- guest sessions
- available credits
- API key lifecycle
- generation history and provider-specific inputs
Recommended user path
1. Start from /guest-demo or /dashboard 2. Open /dashboard/ai-playground 3. Generate the first result 4. Upgrade to a full account or a higher plan when usage grows
What product teams should avoid
- Do not ask first-time users to paste a manual API key before they understand the product.
- Do not expose multiple competing AI entry points unless each one has a clearly different audience.
- Do not separate credits, AI generation, and account state into unrelated pages without a guided default path.
