Overview
Base44 is an AI-assisted app builder aimed at non-engineers and lean teams who want working prototypes without a full dev shop. You describe flows; it generates UI and backend scaffolding.
Key features
Natural-language prompts for screens and data models.
Export options for further dev handoff.
Templates for common SaaS patterns (auth, dashboards).
Limits
Complex custom logic still needs developers.
Design fidelity may not match a polished Figma handoff.
Evaluate hosting, security, and data ownership before production.
Who it's for
Founders validating MVPs and PMs demoing ideas. Not a full replacement for a senior eng team on mission-critical systems.
