🚨 Ray Web Studio update:
We quietly opened 85 early access spots… and they’re getting picked off.
Every signup = someone locking in the ability to turn ideas into actual tools instantly.
So if you’ve had even ONE of these thoughts:
→ “I want a tool my audience can actually use (not just content)”
→ “I need something custom — not another generic template app”
→ “I want to spin up small, weird, niche tools fast without overbuilding”
Ray Web Studio is built for that exact layer:
turning simple prompts into lightweight, usable apps you can share immediately — not full-blown dev projects, not bloated builders.
Early access =
⚡ 5,000 free Ray credits (~20 builds)
⚡ first to ship, test, and play
⚡ additional credit opportunities
