Ghost Credits
Track cloud/AI/hackathon credits across providers: amounts, expiry, burn order, alerts
A spreadsheet or one prompt to an AI assistant covers the whole job, so there's no product.
Track cloud/AI/hackathon credits across providers: amounts, expiry, burn order, alerts
Each provider has its own dashboard and expiry dates, so credits get forgotten, expire unused, or get spent in the wrong order. Students and early startups have little budget, so each lost credit is real money they had to find elsewhere.
Ghost Credits gathers all your cloud, AI and hackathon credits in one place with expiry dates, burn order and alerts.
- 1Add credits from each provider with amount and expiry date.
- 2See which credits to use first, ordered by expiry timing.
- 3Get an alert before any credit expires unused.
Why it failed
Check 2 · AI can do itThe core job is a list of credits with amounts and expiry dates, sorted by expiry, plus reminders. A student or startup founder can get that from a spreadsheet, a calendar reminder, or a one-off prompt to ChatGPT or Claude Code. The idea has no aggregate data, trust layer, network effect, money flow, or non-technical buyer, and the stated audience is technical.
