AI app builders
Full-stack "vibe coding" — describe it, get a working app
AI Full-Stack App Builders ("vibe coding" platforms): describe an app in plain English and get a complete, working web app — backend, database, auth and UI scaffolded for you. Base44 (backend baked in), Lovable (portable React you own), v0 (polished UI). → Unlike the AI coding assistants (which work inside an existing codebase) or the agent frameworks (which build custom AI systems), these turn a prompt into a whole finished app.
After this chapter you can
→ Pick the right no-code builder for your project
→ Know the trade-off between convenience and owning the code
→ Ship a working web app straight from a prompt
