Over the past few months, we’ve been tinkering with a question that wouldn’t leave us alone:

What if AI could actually build apps — not just generate code snippets, but scaffold an entire working product from scratch?

So we built saas-builder, an open-source CLI that lets you describe your app idea and generates a full-stack scaffold using Next.js and Supabase.

You run: saas-builder init …and five AI agents take over:

> UI Agent → builds a responsive frontend > Auth Agent → wires up Supabase Auth > DB Agent → creates schema, migrations, and types > Terminal Agent → installs dependencies & folders > Browser Agent → launches the app locally

What you get is a clean, typed, ready-to-deploy app.

It’s still early days — very much a side project. But it’s already saved us hours of boilerplate setup.

More importantly, it gave us a glimpse of what agentic development might actually feel like.

We’re releasing it under MIT, installable via pip, and would genuinely love your thoughts:

Appreciate you reading. We’re around to answer questions, chat about ideas or hear whatever feedback you’ve got.
