The Challenge
Alamin's company, Data Elysium, wanted to make frontier AI affordable in Bangladesh — where USD subscriptions and missing local payment rails lock students out of ChatGPT, Claude and Grok. He needed a senior developer who could build a production platform, not a freelancer who needed managing.

What We Built
Rather than a fixed-scope project, Alamin hired a dedicated CodeXcelerate developer on an hourly engagement — working directly with his team, sprint by sprint. The full build took just 160 tracked hours over one month.
A credit-based AI marketplace at affortable.ai: one dashboard for 10+ models (GPT, Claude, Grok, DALL·E), pay-per-message pricing instead of subscriptions, BDT and USD with local payment methods, plus AI apps for content detection, text humanizing, image generation and speech translation.
