Features
Publish Agent
Describe a project and the agent writes the code, evolves it, and publishes it. It is built to produce production-ready code with minimal prompting.
Full-stack infrastructure
Built-in authentication, database, hosting and monitoring need no separate setup, so an app can be scaled and secured from the first day.
Integrations
Apps connect to more than 100 integrations, including OpenAI, Stripe and Google Workspace, to add AI features and payments.
Infinite Canvas
A visual space for exploring and tweaking designs, with the changes then applied directly to the running app.
Enterprise control
Security controls such as SSO/SAML, SOC 2 compliance and admin tools keep apps protected as they scale.
What users say
Pros
- A lead-gen mini-site or a simple CRUD app with login comes together in minutes to a few hours.
- An app can be built and prompted entirely from an iPhone, with the work picked up again from any device.
- Plain-English prompts turn into complete, working products without writing or understanding any code.
- Python scripts and coding exercises run straight in the browser with zero local setup or installation.
Cons
- A single request can quietly burn the monthly allowance and add big overage charges when the agent loops.
- Agent edits reported as finished turn out missing, and its reworks break or wipe parts that already worked.
- Anything beyond a basic app slides into overwritten files, lost changes and hours spent re-explaining the same context.
- Cancelling does not stop the billing; charges continue for months and annual renewals land on cards without warning.
- Help requests get slow replies, self-help steps, and tickets closed with the project still broken and no engineer involved.
- The old browser editor for running a script in any language is now a chat window that takes minutes to answer.
