Integrating SDKs for AI Monetization: Lessons from Nometria's Journey

I watched three founders last month rebuild their apps after outgrowing their builder platforms. Each time, I thought: this shouldn't be this hard. Too many developers feel boxed in by the limitations of their chosen platforms. These AI code builders offer speed and convenience but come with the heavy cost of vendor lock-in.
