Every day we look across the web for free credits, free tiers, startup programs and AI contest perks for people and agents who build with AI. We publish only what we could confirm with a sentence quoted from the official page, and we strip every affiliate or referral link found on the web. Only referral links the operator obtained personally may appear, separately and labelled as sponsored.
Collected and verified automatically. Terms, amounts and deadlines can change — always re-check the official source before you apply. star365 has no official affiliation with any provider listed. A "referral link" on some items is advertising and the operator may earn a commission.

An app an AI wrote often runs fine but is not locked down. Check these four things before you deploy.
Decide who can see what on the server and in the database, not on the screen. If you use Supabase, turn on RLS for every table and add policies. Create a second test account and open another account's data URL directly to see whether it is blocked.
Never put server-only keys in front-end code or a public repository. Keep environment files out of git and run a secret scanner. If a key has already leaked, deleting it is not enough: revoke it and issue a new one.
Turn on a tool that proposes updates when new versions ship, and subscribe to the security notices of the frameworks you use. If you run your own server, set a rule: apply urgent patches right away, and within the week at the latest.
Do not hand production keys to an AI coding agent. Separate development from production, and make a human confirm hard-to-undo commands such as deletes and deploys. Keep backups elsewhere and test that they restore. Before installing a package an AI suggested, check that it really exists and is widely used.
