Appwrite
Hey Product Hunt 👋 this is Eldad from the Appwrite team, and we're very excited to launch Imagine today.
We built Imagine because we believe software creation shouldn’t be limited to people who already know how to code, set up infrastructure, or glue together dozens of tools just to get something working.
With Imagine, you can go from an idea to a real product in minutes, whether that’s a prototype, a landing page, an internal tool, or a full app you want to share with the world. Just describe what you want to build, and Imagine helps you create real working products.
Imagine is the alternative to Lovable, Supabase, and Vercel, in a single platform.
That means no need to:
- Integrate multiple vendors
- Manage multiple subscriptions
- Worry about security across a scattered stack
With Imagine, you can go from prompt → working app, and still have the fundamentals builders care about: a real backend, real data, real auth, real deployments, without the glue code and setup overhead.
Imagine is built on top of Appwrite’s cloud infrastructure, so it’s designed for builders who want to move fast, but still want things like security, scalability, and production-ready foundations from day one.
We’d love your feedback. We’re here all day to help you answer any questions!
Try it. Break it. Build something real with it.

@eldad_fux Amazing work! Really a breath of fresh air in all the ai tool noise!
Appwrite
@eldad_fux honestly, using Imagine has been such a game-changer. Excited for others to try it too!
Appwrite
@jade_baudchon Some of your demos with it have been mind blowing!!
Appwrite
@eldad_fux Loving using an AI builder that actually produces production ready code.
Imagine
@eldad_fux Love the focus on making product creation simpler and more accessible. Really looking forward to the feedbacks and conversations today
Appwrite
@eldad_fux Quality of web app after first prompt is just insane. I built multiple projects with Imagine and it never stops to surprise me with UI/UX ideas I never had in my original prompt. And they are great!
Looks promising! Is there a way to lock or freeze certain layers like schema, auth rules or infra so AI changes don't accidently break them later?
Imagine
Thanks for your interest@lak7! We've seen thousands of apps generated so far and have not yet seen this type of behavior. We have a dedicated agent to Cloud resource provisioning that only gets to work when needed. Regardless, you can always revert your code to a prior version which will also restore the infrastructure to that state. Give it a go and let us know how you like it!
Appwrite
@lak7 @arielweinberger following up with Ariel's comment, we also have built in backup functionality and soon we also plan to add a way to export your entire project to Appwrite Cloud or to a self hosted Appwrite instance which also give you 100% control and zero vendor locking.
@arielweinberger @eldad_fux makes sense, thanks for clarification. I gave it a try and the UI and overall ease of use feel very solid. Also console, network and server tabs are actually very useful at the bottom. Excited to build more with it.
Appwrite
@arielweinberger @lak7 Glad you like it so far! We're happy to help if you have any other questions or more feedback 🖤
DevQuizzes
Awesome work as always guys!
Appwrite
@madzadev Thanks for the support!
Appwrite
@madzadev Thank you so much Madza! It always means a lot from coming from you.
Your support of us has been amazing since day 1 ♥️
having backend, auth and deployment all in one place is the real value here. jumping between lovable and supabase and vercel gets messy fast even for simple projects.
can you eject the code if you want to move off the platform later or is it locked in?
Appwrite
@topfuelauto zero vendor-locking. You can export your code at any point in time and use Appwrite Cloud or your own self-hosted Appwrite instance (100% open source) with it to continue your project on your own terms.
Appwrite
@topfuelauto yes, Imagine lets you download the codebase of your project.
Appwrite
@topfuelauto 100% this!

This could be a game-changer for solo founders or designers who want prototypes that actually work.”
Appwrite
@abod_rehman Exactly. When we started building Appwrite our mission was to empower developers. With Imagine we just want to empower - empower everyone.
Imagine
@abod_rehman I'd go ahead and say you can build fully functional apps for all the things you never had the time for previously! There's a lot of power to this. For many, it can be more than just a prototype!
Imagine
@abod_rehman Thanks! Bias aside, that’s the goal, real, working prototypes. I’ve already built a few personal tools with Imagine and it’s become my default.
Cloudthread
Compelling that it's all in one - you manage backend/database? What if I want to bring my own Supabase database?
Appwrite
@daniele_packard One really cool feature that Imagine offers is an agent dedicated to provisioning cloud resources for our in-built backend offerings (database, storage, etc.). This substantially streamlines the process of configuring database tables, adding new indexes, setting up a storage bucket and so on with the appropriate permissions.
That being said, Imagine does not restrict you from connecting to any external services via their APIs.
Appwrite
@daniele_packard Thanks for the kind words. Imagine is built on top of Appwrite Cloud, and both products are developed by the same team. This lets us treat them as a single, integrated system rather than stitching together separate services.
Appwrite already includes databases, authentication, storage, messaging, realtime, hosting, an edge network, and built-in security features. Imagine uses all of this directly when generating an app. The agent does not just write code - it provisions the backend, configures hosting, and wires everything together automatically.
Instead of toggling between Supabase for backend, Vercel for hosting, and an AI builder on top, you get one seamless experience. In most cases, you do not even need to know Appwrite is running in the background - it simply works as part of the product generation flow.
If you prefer Supabase, you can ask the agent to use it, but you will lose the native integration and end-to-end workflow that make Imagine shine.
Appwrite
@daniele_packard also important to note, Appwrite is 100% open source (55k stars on GitHub) and can easily be self hosted. You can learn more on https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite
It's truly an amazing product. For people that don't know coding, this is an amazing choice. It does all the backend, auth, etc. All in five minutes. I do think that the preview window can be made faster as it does take a while for it to load in. Other than that, it's great! It even shows the code it made. In the future, they will be adding more backend features. Though I don't need it as I know coding, it’s great for people that have a great idea but don't know how to code it.
Appwrite
@avwave07 appreciate the feedback. A part of why the preview can take some time is that aside from just getting your changes up and running, Imagine has an additional code quality check to ensure that the generation code isn't broken. This improves reliability of each generation substantially.
With that said, we will definitely explore whether we can make this process quicker.
Appwrite
@avwave07 Thank you so much for your feedback and support! Our focus right now was mainly on getting best possible generation quality together with Appwrite Cloud. We have many opportunities in how to make the entire flow much faster from the LLM work to the UI and sandboxes, and will get to it very soon 🤞
