By Nathan Steele

Building an AI SaaS App Builder: A Full-Stack Guide with Next.js 15, Inngest, E2B, and AI Agents is the ultimate hands-on playbook for developers, founders, and tech builders ready to create and scale real-world AI applications-without guesswork. Whether you're prototyping a GPT-powered chat assistant, deploying long-running background agents, or integrating billing and authentication, this book equips you to build a production-ready AI SaaS platform from the ground up.

If you've ever wondered how to combine tools like Next.js 15, LangChain, vLLM, Clerk, Stripe, and Vercel into one seamless, high-performance stack-this guide shows you exactly how. Through battle-tested examples and working code, you'll wire agent backends, stream chat responses in real time, deploy with CI/CD, and plug into GitHub with AI code reviews. Every chapter delivers immediately usable techniques that reflect the latest industry trends and best practices.

Author Nathan Steele is a respected AI systems architect and full-stack engineer known for breaking down complex architectures into concise, actionable steps. With a proven background in real-world SaaS development, Steele empowers readers to go beyond theory-into actual deployment and monetization.

Whether you're an indie hacker, software engineer, or startup founder, this book puts you on the fast track to building your own AI-powered SaaS products, powered by LLMs, LangGraph, and cloud-native deployment pipelines. Everything is up to date, deeply practical, and ready for immediate implementation.
