Inspiration

In a world overflowing with AI tools, most users—especially solo builders and students—struggle to find trustworthy, privacy-respecting solutions. OneStackAI was created to simplify ethical AI discovery, bypass noisy platforms, and empower users to explore agentic tools safely. The goal: build a stealthy, mobile-first experience that respects autonomy and scales organically.

What it does

OneStackAI is a privacy-first platform that curates ethical AI tools across domains. Users can onboard via QR codes, explore categorized recommendations, and access resources without trackers or centralized gatekeepers. It’s optimized for mobile , tablet & laptop, solo-friendly, and designed for stealth growth via Telegram, Discord, and offline drops.

How we built it

  • Backend: Flask + SQLAlchemy for secure, scalable architecture
  • Frontend: Bootstrap + custom UI for responsive design
  • Mobile: Android workflows with signed APKs and QR onboarding
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions for automated builds and secrets management
  • Distribution: Telegram, Discord, and QR-powered stealth campaigns
  • Privacy: No analytics, no trackers — just clean, ethical logic

Challenges we ran into

  • Navigating app store restrictions and compliance bottlenecks
  • Balancing stealth growth with discoverability
  • Debugging AndroidManifest quirks across multiple stores
  • Curating tools without relying on centralized APIs
  • Maintaining founder-grade polish while solo-building

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built and deployed a multi-platform MVP solo
  • Created a QR-powered onboarding system that bypasses app store friction
  • Designed a privacy-first architecture with zero tracking
  • Launched Telegram drops and stealth campaigns with real engagement
  • Positioned OneStackAI for hackathon visibility and indie growth

What we learned

  • Architecting stealth-first onboarding flows that bypass traditional app store friction
  • Automating CI/CD pipelines for Android builds using GitHub Actions and secure keystore management
  • Designing ethical tech that balances privacy, usability, and viral distribution
  • Curating AI tools without relying on centralized APIs or third-party trackers
  • Orchestrating a multi-platform backend that connects Google Sheets, Replit logic, GitHub workflows, and Kodular triggers — enabling lightweight, privacy-first data sync
  • Thinking like a founder: aligning technical decisions with trust, autonomy, and long-term scalability

What's next for OneStackAI

  • Launching across multiple platforms including Android, web, and Telegram — optimized for privacy-first onboarding and community-driven discovery
  • Expanding QR logic into offline campaigns and stealth drops
  • Integrating agentic AI layers for smarter tool recommendations
  • Releasing new versions with exciting features and curated tools to empower users even further
  • Recording and uploading a demo video to showcase onboarding, tool discovery, and privacy-first design
  • Participating in select hackathons to gather feedback, build visibility, and refine the platform’s impact
  • Exploring partnerships with ethical AI creators and indie builders to scale responsibly
