Describe an app in chat and ship it
Describe your product in natural language and AI agents produce a functioning app rather than snippets or mockups.
Frontend and backend are generated together, so apps have real logic, data handling, and connectivity, not just UI.
Generated apps are deployed to a live URL right away, so you can share and test without setting up infrastructure.
The output is a standard codebase you can download, edit, and move into your own toolchain or repository.

Free, open-source, local-first developer workspace for snippets, notes, APIs and diagrams
Organize reusable code fragments in nested folders, tag them for fast filtering, and jump to anything through a keyboard-driven command palette.
Write Markdown notes, explore connections between them in a graph view, and turn notes into tasks with status, priority, due dates and links to related snippets and requests.
Save API requests, run them in sequence, pass values between steps, and inspect responses or JSON diffs without leaving the app.
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI or OpenRouter with your own key, or use a local Ollama/LM Studio model, to edit code, reorganize notes and test APIs. An MCP server exposes the same vault to external AI agents.

The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
Google's agent-first development platform for building and shipping software with AI agents

Focuses heavily on business applications and workflows, but lacks the deep custom UI styling flexibility of Emergent.

Delivers a more comprehensive cloud development environment with agentic coding, but has a steeper learning curve.
Free / Open-sourceRun and build with open AI models locally or in the cloud
Free / Open-sourceA free, open-source personal AI agent that learns your projects and works across every messaging app.
Provides instant in-browser full-stack prototyping, but requires more manual intervention for production-grade database scaling.
Excels at generating modern React user interfaces instantly, but requires separate backend integration for full-stack deployment.

The coding agent that learns your coding taste
Free / Open-sourceRun many coding agents in parallel, each in its own worktree

AI-generated wikis and chat for any public GitHub repository
