👋 Hey Product Hunt community,
2025 was the era of shiny demos. 2026 is the era of useful business software your business runs on.
If you've ever tried to build a custom business tool - a client portal, a vendor management system, an internal CRM - you know the options aren't great. Off-the-shelf software almost fits, but not quite. Hiring a developer takes months and costs more than expected. And AI or vibe coding tools? Great for prototypes, but the moment real users and real data get involved, things fall apart fast.
Today, we're bringing Softr’s AI Co-Builder to the Product Hunt community: the first AI platform for building real business software. Not prototypes. Not demos. Software that works, every single time.
Here's what makes it different:
🏗️ Generate real business software from a prompt: Describe what you need, and Softr’s new AI Co-Builder instantly creates the database, application, and business logic - already connected, secure, and ready for real users.
🔁 Refine with AI or edit visually: Switch between AI prompting and visual editing at any time. You build it, own it, and iterate on it - no black box, no developer required.
Need something custom? Use the vibe coding block to build your own design and logic exactly the way you want.
🔒 Secure and fully-functional by default: Logins, roles, permissions, and security are built in from day one, so you can actually launch it to your team or clients without it falling apart.
🧩 Connect your data and tools: Your data, your apps, and your workflows all live in Softr. Connect your existing tools, automate processes, and manage your complete business operations without switching context.

Over 1 million builders worldwide already use Softr. We can't wait to see what the next million builds!

@mariam_hakobyan5 a friend is building an online school, and I'm helping her finding the right LMS (learning management system).
There's one specific requirement that is only available in the custom pricing tier. My solution was to use a lower tier + zapier until she is able to afford the higher tier. I was never comfortable recommending a vibe-coding platform. But now, Softr AI Co-Builder may be the solution!

@pedrofernandes that sounds amazing - thanks for sharing that, Pedro! If you and your friend need any help or support, ping us on the customer support chat!

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.
I've been building apps with Softr for 4 years and I must say that this AI cobuilder is actually useful, and actually works.
It implemented very nice layouts that I never thought about and it's super nice to get this extra inspiration and support as I'm building.
Manually configuring 12 blocks in an app was a bit repetitive and long (couple hours, nothing dramatic when building full stack business apps) so I'm now skipping some parts thanks to the co-builder.
I recommend anyone to test this prompt "Add a new page to my app to show 5 analytics charts you think are relevant".
1 prompt away from adding a nice analytics page to any app.

@guillaume_duvernay thanks for being part of this, and all the amazing things you are building! 💛
The real test will be how well it handles complex business logic not just simple portals.
Softr
@brandon_elliott1 absolutely! that's exactly why we think Softr stands out in the market - as a poster child of the no-code world, we have exactly been abstracting that complexity of software building - all of that is handled for the users - roles, granular permissions who can use the app in what ways, custom automations on button clicks, and so much more!
Please check out and share your feedback!

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! ❤️

Building with AI app builders, you bump into the same issues: you start from scratch. I've tried the AI app building capabilities of Softr and it actually delivers what it promises: within a ridiculous short amount of time, you have an app you can actually use for your team, business or a client. The crazy part is that this is only the beginning!
Big congrats to the @Softr team--you've built something people love.

@leo_selie 100%, exactly why Softr's new AI platform for building business apps exists!
