AI code generation
Appifex is not just a code generator. It analyzes your request, plans the architecture, writes the code, verifies it compiles, and delivers a working preview -- like a developer you can talk to.
How it works
- You describe what you want in plain English
- AI plans the architecture and file structure
- Code generates -- pages, components, APIs, database tables
- Quality checks verify everything compiles and runs
- Preview ready -- a live URL appears so you can test immediately
- Saved to GitHub -- code commits to your repository
When you're happy with the result, publish to production whenever you're ready.
What gets generated
| Platform | What you get | Example prompt |
|---|---|---|
| Web | Pages, components, routing, styling | "Build a project management dashboard with kanban boards" |
| Mobile | Screens, navigation, native components | "Build a fitness tracker with workout logging and progress charts" |
| Backend | API endpoints, database tables, auth | "Add a REST API with user accounts and a database" |
Real-time progress
Watch your app being built live:
| Phase | What's happening |
|---|---|
| Setup | Preparing your project environment |
| Planning | Analyzing your request and designing the architecture |
| Building | Creating and modifying files |
| Quality checks | Verifying the build compiles and runs |
| Preview | Your live preview URL is ready |
| Git | Saving changes to your GitHub repository |
If quality checks find issues, the AI fix agent resolves them automatically before the result reaches you.
Creation paths
| Path | Example prompt | Time |
|---|---|---|
| New idea | "Build a task management app with categories and due dates" | 1-5 min |
| Lovable / Bolt to mobile | Import a GitHub repo and convert to native mobile | 5-10 min |
| Website to mobile | "Convert https://example.com into a native mobile app" | 5-10 min |
| Add backend | "Add a backend with user auth and a database" | 2-5 min |
Image context
Upload up to 3 images (5MB each) -- mockups, screenshots, or design inspiration. Images work as a visual prompt, especially useful for complex layouts.
Tips
- Start with core features, add complexity in follow-up prompts
- One change at a time -- easier to review and debug
- Review generated code in the editor to understand the structure
- See writing effective prompts for detailed guidance
