Great fresh energy in the vibe coding space, giving users control over all aspects of their full-stack app!

@hdkstr business apps can't rely on vibes alone :) Security and control are at the core of any business software!

Back in 2023, not long after chatGPT came out, Softr was probably the first company to have launched an AI app builder (you can see it in our past launches 😄)

It felt like the most cutting-edge thing at the time.

...and our new AI co-builder just made that old version look like a toy.

I know the first thing on your mind is probably "How is Softr different from {another vibe coding tool}"?

Here is a TL;DR:

1. User auth, database, and automation out-of-box with their own UI. There's no need to wrangle multiple systems together or pay for multiple subscriptions.

2. You can build by both prompting AND visual editing. From our learnings over the past 5 years, combining both modes is truly the best UX. Many vibe coding tools get non-technical 80% there, and stay there. We let you actually finish the job with confidence.

3. Business apps require reliability – permissions, security, and custom logic...things that most people don't realize how complex it is (because most SaaS took care of it). We provide all the tools for any non-technical users to configure them without having to verify whether LLM-generated code does what they want.

4. We have highly flexible blocks, fields, actions, integrations, and features that are constantly being improved and maintained by our team. And if you need something more unique, you have the option to vibe code your own and connect to any API with secure auth. So you get the best of both worlds!

I know these claims are probably not enough to convince you, so you just have to try it out :)

@iamaustinyang good memories of the old AI app builder :) But truly, it looks like a toy now, with this powerful AI platform that's so much smarter, faster, and fully functional!

It wouldn't have been here without your and the team's efforts! ❤️

On the “AI vs visual editor” spectrum, where do you draw the line on what AI is allowed to change automatically (schema, permissions, workflows), and what product tradeoffs did you make to keep generated apps maintainable and debuggable versus fully code-first tools like Retool/Replit?

Excited for this one to be out there. Real business software, generated by AI, that you can actually put in front of users!

This one is really a game changer! I really like how it reduces the barrier to entry — you can just use chat and ask for new things instead of building everything from scratch.

I loved seeing the whole Softr team bring this one to life! And amazing that we can finally share it with everyone. :)

Our new AI co-builder is absolutely amazing for building business apps at scale and with speed! I've literally seen customers now build secure, scalable, and powerful apps in hours instead of weeks and months like with other vibe-coding tools.

I had used Softr when the widget-based building was the norm. Any particular capability that differentiates Softr from the Replits and Emergents of the world @arturmkrtchyan

@sayanta_ghosh Thanks for chiming in - see Austin's comment above - https://www.producthunt.com/products/softr?comment=5293457 that explains it all. Softr is the combination of the speed of AI and the reliability of no-code: it helps generate fully functional, secure business software, ready to be deployed to your employees or clients - and the same non-tech business users own it, maintain it and iterate on it - without handing it over to developers.

Love this team! Excited to try this out on a meaty business case.

@startupstella wohooo! can't wait to see what you build! 🤍

I'm also very fond of this one, and I think it's actually a pretty new view into the software development using AI agents. This doesn't do bare code development, but rather reuses components that are battle-hard and sure that they work. It's much better than just writing code that you cannot look into its details because you're lacking expertise or anything similar.
