Shuji's "末路診断" quiz runs AI once and needs no servers after launch

Shuji's "末路診断" quiz runs AI once and needs no servers after launch

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    Shuji launched "末路診断", a quiz that has AI assign probabilities to three five-year career "endings" for a chosen job, age, and tenure, across 174 result pages.

  2. Why it matters

    The whole site is built and finished before anyone visits, so once it is public it only serves fixed pages and images, which is why it can run without server costs. Results are all created before publication.

Context & Analysis

The design choice to pre-build every result is what makes the zero-cost claim possible. AI is used only on the maker's own machine while assembling the quiz, and the published site returns only static HTML and images. The text-writing AI was never allowed to produce numbers, so the probabilities could not drift. The quiz keeps its combinations at 200 or fewer so the volume of text, images, and pages stays predictable, and the author says the finished quiz has 174 result pages. The piece describes several pitfalls encountered during the build, including branch probabilities coming out nearly identical, AI talk in the prompt pulling the branches toward AI-related choices, and share images failing to appear until an absolute URL was set. The author says the build took half a day, but the harder part was what happened after publication: traffic fell from 28 visits in a day to 3 within 48 hours, and the pass-through rate to AI Contents Bank was 13%. That gap between building the quiz and keeping people coming back is presented as the real difficulty, and the stated response is a revision to add a link directly below the result page.

FAQ
Why does the site have no server costs?
All results are created before the site is published. After launch, the site only serves HTML and images, so no AI runs on the server and no API key is needed in the browser.
How many result pages does the quiz have?
The site has 174 result pages, and the design keeps any quiz's combinations at 200 or fewer.
After launch, the quiz performed.
On the day it was placed in a pinned Threads post, 28 people visited the site in a day, but that fell back to 3 people a day within 48 hours. In one week, 61 people took the quiz and 8 of them went on to AI Contents Bank, a 13% pass-through rate, and the author is now adding a link directly below the result page.
