Lazy AI turns the traditional software development process on its head. Now you can create and deploy full stack web applications with prompts! 🤯 Bring your creativity, logic and a sense of fun - get ready to wordsmith software!
Hey Product Hunters! I'm Misha, one of the founders of Lazy AI.
I'd like to share the story behind our vision, what Lazy is all about, and our exciting plans for the future.
Our Vision
Lazy was born from our desire to create more software. With the advent of ChatGPT, we realized it was possible to create software using natural language, making it much more intuitive and fun. Lazy was created to empower others like us to bring their ideas to life.
Our vision is simple yet ambitious: we want to create a global community where building software is fun and accessible to everyone. Whether you’re here to experiment, create for fun, learn or as ourselves eventually use these skills for business, Lazy is your playground.
What Lazy Is
Lazy is more than just a platform; it's a community of people who love being software creative. Today, we’ve made it possible for anyone to create and deploy full stack web applications. Bring your creativity, logic and a sense of fun - get ready to wordsmith software!
Why Fun Matters
We believe that the best way to learn is through fun and passion projects. What we think of as fun or as a personal passion project can often lead to innovation, and many fun projects can turn into successful businesses.
What Lazy Can Do Now
Right now, Lazy excels at helping you create web apps and bots. You can start building immediately with our intuitive platform and see your ideas come to life in no time.
What's Coming Next
The future of Lazy is even brighter! Lazy is our passion project so we tirelessly work to bring you more powerful language model abilities, a better user interface, and new features that will make your creative experience even more seamless and enjoyable.
A Personal Note
Jeff Bezos once said, “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” That quote resonates deeply with us at Lazy. We are proud to support and grow our amazing Lazy Developer community, where people build and share apps, solve hard problems, team up to help each other, and have fun!
Thank you for being a part of this journey. I can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll build with Lazy.
@misha_lyalin1 As a product manager, I didn't have time to relearn how to code, now I am able to independently prototype my software projects without bugging our engineers. I've built personal projects and even a large part of Lazy was built on Lazy!

Congratulations on the release of Lazy AI!
The Lazy community of people not only connects by interests but also educates!📈
@misha_lyalin1 Congrats on your incredible launch! Wishing you an amazing journey forward. What’s been the most valuable lesson learned during this process?
@rrhoover thank you! We are working on moving paygate much much further, and as LLM prices are falling, we'll be able to do that - right now it is hard to subsidise a lot of free use.
@rrhoover exactly as Misha said, we think building should be free with new cheaper and more powerful models we can soon support that. In the meantime we launched a new $9.99 a month plan yesterday in honour of product hunt :)
@rrhoover@peter_szalontay1@misha_lyalin1 Is this just a wrapper to openai? Have you considered letting users BYO API Key? That way you can shift the cost of the LLM to the end user and just charge for the value-add you provide?
Not sure that's technically feasible, or even a good strategy given most people don't know how to generate an API key, but perhaps a consideration.
@rrhoover@peter_szalontay1@rossdcurrie this is far from a wrapper on top of open ai. We use a combination of models. It will be complicated for the users, plus those models change as we constantly eval what works better.
There is a lot more to developing and deploying an application than asking LLM for a piece of code. Our value is making all of it simple and accessible to our users.

Hey Misha, can you share more details about the security measures in place for deploying web apps using Lazy AI? Looking forward to experimenting with your platform!
@memphys_sk hi your apps run in separate containers, only you have access to the code or your team, you can set up secrets to connect to APIs.
Hope this helps and here to answer further questions!
Congrats!🎉 Sounds like a good idea. I tried it, but to run the AI-written App need update to pro. I also want to know what unique advantages it has compared with Claude Artifacts?
@zenda1122 Hey, Zenda (I'm Chief, and I'm from the Lazy AI Team)!
I saw the Claude Artifacts launch last week. I think it's insanely cool to have previews of code snippets right in the chat! However, there are SEVERAL advantages Lazy AI has compared to Claude Artifacts (I hope I won't be too long)
1.
With Claude Artifacts, Claude renders a preview of the code from a generated code snippet in your conversation with Claude. For example, if you ask for a crab (as they did in the demo), it will render the HTML of the crab in the chat. Your crab website lives in your chat with Claude, and no one can see it unless they have access to your Anthropic account.
On the other hand, Lazy AI generates an actual file. Because of this, if you create a crab website in Lazy AI, your website will be accessible by anyone, anywhere from the moment you press run. All apps run in the cloud, so you receive a shareable link when you run your app - and anyone in the world can see your crab website instantly. It's literally a real website!
2.
If you ask Claude to create a multipage website (for example, a website with a login page and a profile page), it may be rendered but none of the buttons on your website will have a real effect - because a login page requires you to have a backend; and when Claude renders your application, it's giving you a preview of the UI, but it's not executing the server-side code.
On the other hand, Lazy AI can handle full-stack multifile applications (and is actually multifile by default). We have several web apps that integrate logins, and several reusable templates of apps that integrate logins!
3.
You also cannot build any apps that require databases with Anthropic's Claude Artifacts feature, which you can do in Lazy AI.
And there are several more differences, such as the fact that you cannot build web apps that require you to securely integrate with other services (as you do not have environment secrets), you cannot use Claude Artifacts for applications that do not have a user interface (for example, Discord/Telegram/WhatsApp bots), you also cannot build APIs and you do not have version control and you cannot see code diffs and you get the idea! Hope this was helpful!
@chief_imagineer Great! You have considered the pain points of building web apps very thoroughly. These advantages are sufficient for us to choose Lazy AI. Keep going!

Are those apps really created by prompts? Interesting!

@clerkfred they really are. from my experience, all you have to do is basically have a conversation with lazy ,and in no time ,you have a fully functioning app that you could use as you like
