AI code generation
Appifex uses advanced AI models to transform your natural language descriptions into production-ready code.
How it works
- You describe what you want in plain English
- AI analyzes your requirements and plans the implementation
- Code generates - components, APIs, database schemas, styling
- Automatic deployment - your app goes live immediately
Writing effective prompts
Be specific about features
Good:
Create a fitness tracking app with:
- Daily workout logging
- Progress charts showing weekly trends
- Goal setting with reminders
- Social sharing of achievements
Less effective:
Make a fitness app
Include UI preferences
Build a minimalist note-taking app with:
- Clean white background
- Sans-serif typography
- Floating action button for new notes
- Card-based note display
Specify data relationships
Create a project management tool where:
- Users belong to organizations
- Projects have multiple tasks
- Tasks can be assigned to team members
- Comments are attached to tasks
Attach images for context
Upload up to 3 images (max 5MB each) to help AI understand your vision:
- Mockups - Figma designs, sketches, wireframes
- Screenshots - Existing apps you want to reference
- Inspiration - UI patterns you like
Real-time progress tracking
As your app generates, you'll see:
| Event | What it means |
|---|---|
| Thinking | AI is planning the implementation |
| Tool call | A file is being created or modified |
| Platform switch | Moving between web/mobile/backend |
| Deployment | Pushing to hosting platforms |
| Complete | Your app is ready |
Iterating on your app
After initial generation, continue the conversation:
"Add dark mode support"
"Make the sidebar collapsible"
"Add pagination to the user list"
AI reads your existing code and makes targeted changes.
Model selection
Appifex uses multiple AI models optimized for different tasks:
- Claude - Complex reasoning and architecture decisions
- Gemini - Fast iteration and code generation
The platform automatically selects the best model, or you can choose manually.
Best practices
- Start with core features - Add complexity gradually
- One change at a time - Easier to review and iterate
- Review generated code - Use the editor to understand and customize
- Save your prompts - Good prompts are reusable patterns
