Complete backend for building apps with AI agents. Battle-tested by millions of production apps, now available as a standalone service optimized for Claude Code and Cursor. Deploy full-stack apps in one command, no backend setup, no configuration. AI agents use simple Skills instead of complex APIs. $ npx base44@latest create
Maor started Base44 as a side project late 2024, and it's now at millions of users. Early on, Maor made a bet to build the entire backend infrastructure from scratch instead of relying on Firebase, Supabase, etc. That bet paid off.
Today we're releasing that same infrastructure as a standalone Backend as a Service - and it's fundamentally different from existing solutions.
The problem: If you've built with Claude Code or Cursor, you've hit this wall. The agent writes great code - then chokes on backend setup. That's not the agent's fault. Supabase, Firebase, and the rest were designed for human developers who read docs and configure things manually. AI agents don't work that way. The backend is still the bottleneck.
We built Base44 Backend from the ground up for agents:
🤖 Skills instead of APIs - AI agents don't read API docs the way humans do. Our Skills system gives agents simple, structured instructions they can execute natively. This is a huge difference in practice vs. throwing a Supabase or Firebase SDK at an agent and hoping for the best.
⚡ One command to deploy - database, auth, file storage, everything. No config files, no environment variables, no setup tax.
🔌 Built-in Connectors - OAuth-ready integrations to Gmail, Slack, Notion, Salesforce, HubSpot, LinkedIn, and more. Your agent says "post to Slack when a new order comes in" and it just works. No managing API keys or building OAuth flows from scratch.
🧠 App Agents -Built-in AI agents that live inside your app. They can read and write data, trigger backend functions, search the web, connect to WhatsApp, they're like teammates that ship with your product out of the box.
🚀 Battle-tested at scale - This isn't a new experiment. It's the same infra powering 10M+ production apps on Base44.
Who it's for: Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI coding agent who are tired of the backend being the thing that slows everything down. If you want your agent to go from idea to deployed app without you ever touching backend config, that's exactly what we built.
We're shipping fast and want to build this with the community. Tell us what's missing, what's broken, what would make this 10x more useful for your workflow.
Would love your feedback 🙏
