Zalt Interactive Guides
AI, Web App, Publishing Platform
Project Summary
A serverless platform for publishing interactive guides built for the AI era: not static text meant to be read cover to cover, but instruction paired with ready-to-use prompts, so a reader's own AI agent can pick up the explanation exactly where the page leaves off. It already hosts multiple titles side by side, each with its own chapter tree, reading progress, and premium tier, all running on the same shared infrastructure.
Every title gets reading progress tracked automatically, personal notes anchored to any paragraph or section that survive re-ordering, and open per-chapter discussions. Free and premium chapters live side by side inside the same title, unlocked permanently after a one-time purchase, no subscription.
The whole platform is serverless: pay once through Stripe and premium chapters unlock for good, with no account system, ongoing server, or app database behind it to run or maintain. Premium content is built to resist casual sharing rather than sit out in the open for anyone to lift. Each title can also ship a companion repository: readers flag mistakes or open pull requests against the free chapters, pull any chapter straight into their own AI agent with one click, and grab a ready-to-use skill and prompt set built around that title's material. Currently powers my own titles only; the platform itself could be opened up later as a publishing layer other authors run their own titles on.
