Softgen
From idea to production-grade web app, generated by AI at developer speed.
Softgen is an AI-powered web application builder that turns plain-language ideas into fully functional, production-ready web apps.
Acting like an expert dev team, it designs architecture, generates code, wires integrations, and refines your product through conversation—so founders ship modern apps without hiring engineers.
🚫 The problem Softgen solves
Softgen eliminates the gap between vision and shipped software.
Non-technical builders escape no-code limits and vendor lock-in, while teams bypass weeks of boilerplate and setup.
The result: faster launches, cleaner architecture, and full ownership of a modern, extensible codebase.
✅ How Softgen works
js codebase with auth, database, payments, and email.
You iterate in conversation against a live preview, then export clean code to GitHub for full control and extension.

"The team’s mission is to compress the distance between idea and deployed software by turning every ambitious founder into a capable app creator."
