Build custom portals, internal tools, and ops systems with AI in minutes. Describe what you need, and the AI Co-Builder generates the app, database, and business logic, secure and ready for real users. Refine with prompts or edit visually - you're in control.
2025 was the era of shiny demos. 2026 is the era of useful business software your business runs on.
If you've ever tried to build a custom business tool - a client portal, a vendor management system, an internal CRM - you know the options aren't great. Off-the-shelf software almost fits, but not quite. Hiring a developer takes months and costs more than expected. And AI or vibe coding tools? Great for prototypes, but the moment real users and real data get involved, things fall apart fast.
Today, we're bringing Softr’s AI Co-Builder to the Product Hunt community: the first AI platform for building real business software. Not prototypes. Not demos. Software that works, every single time.
Here's what makes it different:
🏗️ Generate real business software from a prompt: Describe what you need, and Softr’s new AI Co-Builder instantly creates the database, application, and business logic - already connected, secure, and ready for real users.
🔁 Refine with AI or edit visually: Switch between AI prompting and visual editing at any time. You build it, own it, and iterate on it - no black box, no developer required. Need something custom? Use the vibe coding block to build your own design and logic exactly the way you want.
🔒 Secure and fully-functional by default: Logins, roles, permissions, and security are built in from day one, so you can actually launch it to your team or clients without it falling apart.
🧩 Connect your data and tools: Your data, your apps, and your workflows all live in Softr. Connect your existing tools, automate processes, and manage your complete business operations without switching context.
Over 1 million builders worldwide already use Softr. We can't wait to see what the next million builds!
Let us know what you think - we'll be in the comments all day to answer questions.
