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.
Build full-stack web apps by describing them
Describe your app in plain English and Softgen asks clarifying questions, drafts a development plan, and generates the full codebase.
Managed Supabase for database and user authentication, plus Stripe payments, are wired in with no code required.
Every project lives in a real GitHub repository you own, so you can branch, merge, and open it in Cursor or VS Code.
Choose from a large set of AI models, including leading Claude, GPT, and Gemini releases, rather than being locked to one.
