Emergent – The Hottest Vibe-Coding App Builder Right Now?
Hey Product Hunt! 🚀
Meet Emergent – the San Francisco-based AI app builder that every indie hacker, founder and agency in SF & Austin is quietly losing their minds over right now.
You literally just chat with it like a senior engineer who never sleeps:
→ “Build me a multi-tenant SaaS dashboard with Stripe billing, Supabase auth, Recharts analytics, dark mode and mobile-responsive everything” → Emergent spits out a full-stack Next.js + Tailwind + Supabase app in 2–8 minutes, deploy-ready on Vercel with one click.
No prompts engineering, no copy-pasting components, no “fix the navbar” for 3 hours.
Why people are calling it “Cursor on steroids” in 2025
Real multi-file refactoring across the whole project
Built-in preview server + live mobile/desktop views
Understands your existing codebase (drag-and-drop your GitHub repo and keep chatting)
One-click deploy to Vercel/Netlify
Pricing that actually makes sense for indies: pay-as-you-go credits, no $300/month lock-in
Already powering dozens of $1k–$15k MRR micro-SaaS launches this year (founders are being very hush-hush about it)
Who’s already shipping with it
Solo founders launching in weekends instead of months
Agencies using it as a “spec-to-prototype” turbo button for clients
YC & Techstars batches quietly using it in SF cafés
If you’ve ever used Cursor, v0, Bolt, Lovable or Windsurf – Emergent is the one that finally feels like the “AI pair programmer” everyone promised in 2024.

P.S. Yes, it handles auth flows, RBAC, webhooks, cron jobs and even tests out of the box. No, I’m not affiliated – just shipped two paying products with it last month and had to tell someone 😂
