Currently most LLMs have trouble with getting up-to-date info which can cause them to "guess" how payments should be implemented. So, we can work around this by one of the following:
- downloading the NPM package and asking them to read it (e.g.
install @getalby/[email protected] and then read the package to understand how the NWCClient works) - asking the LLM to fetch the README and read it first (e.g.
fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getAlby/js-sdk/refs/heads/master/README.md) - ask it to read the latest esm.sh e.g. (
fetch https://esm.sh/@getalby/[email protected]/es2022/sdk.mjs)

Pull requests welcome! Please ensure that you follow the current directories as examples:
- put in a folder like
environment/demo-short-description/model-namewhereenvironmentcan behtmlorreactorexpressornextjsetc.demo-short-descriptionshould hint and what the demo is about, andmodel-nameshould be the exact model name of the LLM. - All prompts are refined and work with one-shot commands unless specified
- Include clear README instructions on what tools were used to execute the prompt, how to view the output, and prompt.txt for each implementation
Please include ones that you have tested that work OK, and include whether they are free or not and how they can be paid
- create an app that uses nostr for identity
- create an app that uses nostr relays for simple backend storage
- create autonomous ai agents performing machine to machine payments using lightning
- create a lightning lotto app where each satoshi paid increases the time before the winner is drawn
- create an app like github star history but for V4V payments
- create an AI workflow triggered by a received payment using an NWC receive-only connection
- create an in-game store where users can buy vanity items with lightning
- create a lightning prism app powered by NWC
- build an MCP server that requires payments (such as a Stacker news client), that can be paid by nwc-mcp-server
- build an N8N workflow for an AI zapvertising agent
- build an N8N NWC node
- build a vibe coding platform centered around Bitcoin and Nostr
- build an anonymous app hosting platform paid for with a single lightning payment
- Build an app that can summarize github repositories (or multiple repositories) into a single-pager that you can feed to AI to consume.
- Build the same app with a new agent software or LLM. It's cool to see what works and what doesn't!
- Submit your ideas here and maybe someone else will build them!
