How I Built a Suite of 8 AI Tools with $0/Month in API Costs Using NVIDIA NIM

Building a SaaS is hard; driving traffic to it is even harder.

Paid ads for career keywords are notoriously expensive, often costing anywhere from $2 to $5 per click. For a bootstrapped indie hacker, that's a quick way to run out of money before you even find product-market fit.

To solve this for our platform, JobEasyApply, we decided to build a suite of 8 free AI career tools (ATS resume checkers, interview prep assistants, cover letter generators, etc.) to act as an SEO and utility marketing engine.

But free AI tools are a double-edged sword. If they go viral or get indexed by bots, a spike in traffic can translate to hundreds of dollars in LLM API costs overnight.
