app.build's agent is an AI-powered tool designed to generate production-ready full-stack applications from a single prompt. It targets developers seeking rapid application development across various stacks, including tRPC CRUD, Laravel, and Python/NiceGUI data applications, offering benefits like automated validation, testing, and integrated deployment.

How It Works

The agent employs a task-based approach, breaking down app creation into isolated, well-scoped tasks executed within sandboxes. For tRPC apps, this includes database schema generation, API handler logic, and frontend component creation. Laravel apps involve database migrations, model generation, controller/route building, and Inertia.js page creation. Each task is independently validated using language-specific tools (e.g., ESLint, TypeScript, PHPStan) and test execution before acceptance, ensuring robustness.

Quick Start & Requirements

• tRPC CRUD Apps: npx @app.build/cli
• Laravel Apps (Alpha): npx @app.build/cli --template=laravel
• Python/NiceGUI Apps: npx @app.build/cli --template=python
• Local Models (Experimental): Requires Ollama setup. Detailed instructions in PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md.
• Prerequisites: Node.js, Bun (for tRPC), PHP 8+ (for Laravel), Python (for data apps). Neon Postgres database provisioned via API.

Highlighted Details

• Supports tRPC CRUD, Laravel (Alpha), and Python/NiceGUI stacks.
• Generates full-stack applications with integrated validation, testing, and CI/CD.
• Offers experimental local model inference via Ollama for offline development.
• Provides GitHub repository with complete source code and platform deployment.
