Tech stack

Next.js, Node.js, Supabase, Edge Functions, OpenAI, Vercel

Overview

What the project needed to accomplish.

OneHeadlight is positioned as an AI-powered storytelling product for children. Users provide parameters such as characters, settings, and themes, and the app transforms those inputs into customized stories using a prompt-driven generation pipeline.

Challenge

The product needed to feel imaginative for the end user while still being technically disciplined: prompt construction, story generation latency, and application performance all had to work together so the experience stayed immediate and useful.

Solution

The stack combines Next.js for the application shell, Node.js for backend logic, Supabase for data handling, edge functions for lower-latency execution, and OpenAI APIs for narrative generation. The case study also highlights complex prompt generation to translate user inputs into richer AI requests, with deployment on Vercel for fast global delivery.
