We have been partnering with WeWeb for the past couple of years, and it has been great to watch them evolve into what feels like the IDE of the future. It gives you the speed and flexibility of vibe coding while still maintaining the level of control you need when working alongside AI.
What I also appreciate is how much they’ve streamlined the path from prototype to production. Their integrated backend makes it easy for teams to ship quickly, while still giving users the option to graduate into something more production-grade like Xano as their needs evolve.
It’s a genuinely unique piece of software and, in my opinion, one of the most extensible AI-native building tools on the market today.

Hey Product Hunters 👋
Raphael, WeWeb CEO & co-founder here.
WeWeb is THE AI app builder for non-technical users: it lets you generate full applications with AI, then customize every part visually with a drag-and-drop editor.
Over the past year, we've all watched AI transform how fast you can build web apps.
But what happens after the prompt?
For most non-technical builders, AI generation hits the same wall: you create something impressive in minutes… then get stuck at 80%.
You can't really edit the output. You don't understand what's under the hood. One wrong click and everything breaks.
We are fixing that.
WeWeb is the AI app builder for people who want to understand what they're creating: where AI speed meets no-code control.
Generate full apps with UIs, workflows, and data structures in minutes.
Then use the drag & drop editor to inspect exactly what the AI produced, modify any part visually, and publish your app in one-click.
What can you build with WeWeb?
SaaS products that scale to millions of users
AI-native applications
Internal tools and operations platforms
Client portals, ERPs, and CRMs
Backed by YC, WeWeb is used by solo founders, startups, scaleups, and companies like PwC, L'Oréal or Décathlon to ship production-grade apps at scale.
I'd love to hear your feedback - ask me anything, I'll be here all day 🙂

@raphael_goldsztejn Hey Raphaël, congrats on shipping 3.0 🎉
The "AI gets you to 80% then you are stuck, one wrong click and it breaks" framing is exactly right, and the visual editor as the safety net is a smart answer to it.
One question on the part of "under the hood" that non-coders cannot see even with a visual editor: backend security. When AI generates an app that connects to Stripe, Supabase, or an external API, who guards against the generated config exposing keys client-side or leaving an endpoint open? A non-coder visually understands the UI and the workflow, but they cannot eyeball whether the data layer is safe. Does WeWeb sanitize that automatically, flag risky configs, or is the assumption that the user brings their own backend discipline? Asking because that gap is where most no-code plus AI apps quietly ship vulnerabilities.
WeWeb.io
Great question @artem_fedorovich , this is a key topic.
Here is how we address it in a few points:
when using the WeWeb backend, we create secured endpoints by default to CRUD the DB.
when using WeWeb auth, accesses to data and pages are secured very easily, in just a few clicks.
the Stripe integration is automatically secured → keys are deployed on the backend, on the server we spin up for each user (each project has its own dedicated server).
the Supabase connection is done through OAuth, no keys exposed on the front-end. Calls go from the front to the backend through standard REST APIs, with no dependencies on our servers.
WeWeb generates vue.js / node.js code, and we push over-the-air updates if vulnerabilities are detected on these frameworks. Users just have to republish their app to apply the fix. No code maintenance headaches.
One caveat: setups are secured by default, but WeWeb is very open-ended, so users could still create breaches manually. We plan to ship a security audit feature this year that will scan for breaches and warn users about critical security issues.
WeWeb.io
Hi @artem_fedorovich,
This is a very important question, and honestly one of the biggest challenges in AI app building.
That’s exactly why we’ve been working to make our security system as explicit and manageable as possible. One major step was building our own backend layer. Secrets, API calls, database access, permissions, and endpoints can be handled server-side with clear access controls.
On the AI side, our assistant is trained to follow best practices by default, so the goal is not just generating something that “works,” but generating something that respects safe architectural patterns.
We also added a powerful Ask mode: users can interrogate how their app works, understand the data flow, and clarify what is public vs private instead of treating the generated app as a black box.
That said, we don’t think this problem is “solved” yet. We’re actively exploring more proactive auditing capabilities to help users detect risky configurations before they ship.
@alexisjc Thanks both, this is a more thoughtful answer than I expected on a launch day 🙏
Raphaël, the "secured by default, but open-ended so users can still breach manually" honesty is the right framing. Secured defaults plus a planned breach scanner is a solid trajectory.
Alexis, your point lands hardest for me: "generating something that respects safe architectural patterns" rather than just something that works. That is the actual hard problem. An AI that writes functional code is table stakes now. An AI that writes code a non-coder can trust without auditing is a different bar entirely.
The Ask mode is a smart bridge, letting users interrogate data flow instead of treating the app as a black box. The piece I would watch next is the gap between "user can ask if something is safe" and "system proactively blocks the unsafe config before it ships." The first depends on the user knowing what to ask, which non-coders by definition often do not. The second is where this gets genuinely safe. Sounds like that is exactly the proactive auditing direction you mentioned. Rooting for it.
WeWeb.io
@artem_fedorovich yes exactly, and this is going to be possible to do in WeWeb programmatically. Our AI doesn't generate raw code, it generates a JSON that WeWeb parses to build the app. If the JSON has flaws, the app simply doesn't build. So we can put programmatic guardrails directly at that JSON layer.
We call this architecture "AJA": AI to JSON to App. It adds deterministic guardrails on top of the non-deterministic nature of AI. As we progress, we'll layer in more programmatic security guardrails, and this is exactly the "system proactively blocks the unsafe config before it ships" direction you mentioned. Rooting for the same thing!

@raphael_goldsztejn Congrats on the launch
WeWeb.io
@bengeekly thank you for your support!
love the idea of being able to actually go in and tweak yourself! When the AI generates the app, can you also go back and re-prompt it later to make changes, or is it more of a 1-shot generation and then everything else happens in the visual editor?
WeWeb.io
@louislecat You can use our AI both for the initial generation and for further iterations :)
WeWeb.io
@louislecat You can also do things yourself in the visual editor at any point, then ask the AI for feedback, improvements, or additional changes !

I see in your website that the app can be in Github. Does that mean I have the full app in Github and I can host it somewhere else ?
If that the case, is it your own framework or an existing one ?
WeWeb.io
Great question @bengeekly! Yes, you can push the full app to your own GitHub and host it wherever you want. Under the hood, WeWeb generates standard Vue.js SPAs (no proprietary framework) with a Node.js backend, so you can run them through any CI/CD pipeline and deploy on any infra.

@raphael_goldsztejn Can I edit the code directly on Github? Will it apply to your platform?
It would be amazing if you build an open source framework around it.
WeWeb.io
@bengeekly Yes, the code can be edited directly on GitHub. However, once edited, it can't be "imported back" into WeWeb. Most users use the export feature to deploy on their own infra, but keep editing inside WeWeb so things don't fall out of sync with the editor.
WeWeb.io
@raphael_goldsztej @bengeekly "Can I edit the code directly on Github? Will it apply to your platform?" It's technically possible to edit the exported code from WeWeb, but it's not easy or recommended because the code is structured by a machine for a machine so it's not organized like a human developer would organize it.
Editing these files safely would require super in-depth knowledge of WeWeb's internal logic. So it's not really a viable approach if you're planning to build a project in WeWeb and then maintain it independently outside the platform.
That said, we're working on a CLI that I think might change a lot how technical people build in WeWeb and could partly solve that limitation...
I've been burned by too many AI builders that create something cool in 30 seconds and then completely fall apart the moment you try to change anything. like yes the demo looks great but then you're stuck because you have no idea what's actually happening under the hood and one wrong move breaks everything.
As a previous fullstack developer I was never against other AI builders, I just kept getting let down by it. the promise was always there but the reality was always the same: clunky output, limited customization, and this constant feeling that you were one edge case away from hitting a wall you couldn't get past
What got me with WeWeb is that it actually lets you go in and edit things yourself after the AI does its thing. not in a 'here's the raw code good luck' way but visually, so you can actually understand what was built and tweak it without everything falling apart.
I've been using WeWeb for years now and been watching this one come together and it's great to see it ship. Congrats to the team, this one's worth the wait 🎉
WeWeb.io
@arwa5 oh wow, that's such a kind and thoughtful message. Thanks so much for your support Arwa, really appreciate it! 🤗
WeWeb.io
What an amazing testimony@arwa5, thanks so much for sharing. We are lucky to have users like you!
@raphael_goldsztejn Congrats on the launch. One question: is there an integrated design system to keep design consistent over time?
Cheers
WeWeb.io
@raphael_goldsztejn @germain_brugnon 100%! You can ask AI to create one, import it from Figma or build it from scratch. Whatever approach you choose, you can also edit it inside the WeWeb editor:
WeWeb.io
@germain_brugnon yes! And to complete what Joyce said: your elements can be bound to this design system, so if you decide to change one color in the design system, the change will be automatically propagated across your whole app. Very useful to manage design consistency at scale!
@raphael_goldsztejn Great. And does this work across multiple apps? Like, can I have one shared design system that several WeWeb projects pull from?
WeWeb.io
@germain_brugnon Yes! Thanks for asking. You can use the same design system across multiple projects. This is very handy for companies maintaining several apps with a consistent brand.
WeWeb.io
Hey! AI guy here, here are some technical details about the AI capabilities in WeWeb to give you a better picture of how it works in practice :)
The AI is fullstack, meaning it can work across your entire project. Ask questions, get advice, or have it design, build, edit, or fix anything in your app!
Backend: It helps you design and create your database, set up security access rules, and handle all the backend logic (APIs, internal flows).
Frontend: It can build responsive pages from scratch while keeping a consistent design throughout your app, and it wires up the frontend logic (no-code workflows) linked to your backend (API calls, fetching data from the DB).
Of course, everything the AI generates can be visualized and edited in no-code!
If you have any questions on the topic, don't hesitate to ask! :)
Huge congrats on the launch 🎉
We built gamercoin.co / gamerperks.co on WeWeb to test an idea fast, with little coding experience between us. The pitch in this launch is exactly what made it work for us. We could get something real off the ground, then actually go in and edit the UI, logic, and data without staring at code we didn't understand. WeWeb is the reason we got past it.
Rooting for the team today 🚀
WeWeb.io
This already made my day @alenzeli_ramji 🙏
So glad WeWeb helped you get past that first wall. Rooting for Gamerperks! 🚀
WeWeb.io
Very cool@alenzeli_ramji, gamerperks looks amazing! 😀 "without staring at code we didn't understand" -> as a fairly technical non-coder, I feel you! Short code snippets I can usually understand and edit confidently but complex logic in a full-blown app? No way!
WeWeb.io
Love what you built @alenzeli_ramji The UI is awesome 🔥
We’d be thrilled to feature gamerperks.co on our showcase page if you’re open to it 🙌
