Autodevs are AI powered devs that generate simple prototypes automagically.
Building something more complex? Get an instant (human) dev team to build the rest fast.
Hi Product Hunt ๐
Weโre excited to launch our new autodevs. Autodevs are AI powered devs that can generate code on their own. We're having fun making simple UI prototypes with them - and weโre rapidly expanding their capabilities.
For now, you can:
- Enter a prompt to generate UI prototypes
- Iterate on your prototype with refinements
- Turn your prototype into a live app anyone can use
- Share your app with other builders to let them create their own version
- Get the code for your app
- Get an instant (human) dev team to build anything more complex (10% off for product hunters who try out autodevs)
This is an early beta so weโd love to get your feedback. Feel free to drop us a note here or at founders@create.xyz - what else would you want to build automagically and why?
So why'd we build this?
Marcus and I started Create to help founders launch apps faster. Itโs still too hard to turn a great idea into production software. Hiring engineers takes forever, and once you have a team, you spend 50%+ of your time rebuilding the common features and infra others have already built.
Create is an AI powered platform built to solve this. We speed up product creation through code generation for common features and an experienced, vetted dev community for everything else. Weโve helped top startups to ship marketplace apps, SaaS apps, GPT-enabled tools, and internal tools to millions of users, months faster than alternatives.
Still, it could always be faster :) Autodevs are our latest way to generate even more of the code - starting with simple prototypes.

@dhruvtruth I'm curious to see how this works! big companies are full on trying to tackle generative UI (Vercel, Figma, Framer etc...) seems like you are one step ahead :)
Congrats and good luck on the launch!
@dfeles Competition is a compliment :) On a more real note, in each of those cases (and we love all and use all those tools at Create!), our target customer and focus differ a bit. We want to help the folks that don't know about any of those tools but still have a great idea for a business or product.
UI is just the start, but the customer problem is how do I go end to end from what's in my head to something in my customer's hands that's exactly how I want. Integration of all the parts of that process is key.
Very cool, reminds me of v0.dev but with engineer takeover when you're ready. This feels like the true next version of work. Customer works with AI to scope and develop MVP, developers take over to take it to the moon!
I'm curious what type of customer feedback you've gotten on the credit pricing system? ๐
@esus Thanks! That's exactly the idea :) We've found customers have liked the credit pricing system (once they get it!) since things getting shipped is what you really care about vs. hours spent.
Still too hard to explain though so more work to do to simplify it and build it into the product
I have not used it yet, but this could save me and my team a lot of time if it does what it claims! Great work on turning this idea into a product, and wish you all the best with the launch!
As a founder this would have saved me so much time talking around clunky whiteboarding sessions in the early days. Well, it probably still will save us a ton of time now ha. Can't wait to check this out.
Curious, what's been the most unexpected thing a user has built with autodevs?
@gallagherbilly So glad to hear it would have saved you time as a founder! That's the goal.
Re app idea: honestly, we keep getting surprised, esp as the Product Hunt community tries it out. Beauty of launching. It's hard to predict what people want to build.
I think my personal favorite was someone sent me an app to celebrate my 1st kid's due date - so a living memorial event page like thing dedicated to it. Software is going to get much more personal as generation increase.
I particularly love how you're marrying AI-generated prototypes and simple code with humans that can get that last 10% in - this approach is game-changing!
Exciting product. This is the future of software development and rapid prototyping.
Feedback:
- Ability to modify, edit, and move things around the mouse like a low-code solution editor
- Ability to modify the code in a code editor, and see the real-time update on the visuals
Autodevs for simple prototypes and instant human dev teams for complex projects โ an intriguing combination. How does the AI handle the transition from simple to complex development tasks?
cool concept but still much faster to manually create the design or just use UI template. Because I have to be specific and the result is far design standard. Too many prompts need to be describe to get the result I want
Looks like Vercel's v0 has competition, this is epic! Although I wouldn't expect anything else from such a ๐ฅ team.
I'll definitely be using this daily and I'm stoked to see what y'all keep cooking up in the future!
Absolutely incredible. As a founder I've experienced this exact pain point, and love that you are creating a solution to address this issue. You and Marcus have come so so far since we riffed on this idea a while back. So proud, and excited to be a customer!
@maneesh123456 Thanks Maneesh! You've been a huge guide on the early pain points when iterating towards PMF - more to come, and I'll follow up about being a customer haha
This product is a revolution in the software development world! Speeding up projects with automatic prototypes and instant development team provision is now just a few clicks away. Don't miss out on this product that simplifies software development with the power of artificial intelligence! ๐ฅ๐
With almost no prior experience I was able to create a stunning prototype within minutes and even iterate upon the initial version with no issues. Absolutely Amazing
With no coding experience you can created a suite of bespoke apps effortlessly. Every step felt intuitive, streamlined, and empowering. Truly, create.xyz is where innovation meets simplicity. A game-changer for businesses and dreamers alike! Huge shout out for the team!
Took me just 3 iterations to generate this pricing page for a data scraping SaaS app: https://app.create.xyz/share/d92...
This has easily saved me an hour of my time trying to design, write the copy and the HTML. I should have more time to build the actual product now ๐คฉ
This is one of the best platforms I have seen!! Especially for apps that needs a quick prototype but have huge potential. From developers to founders or business teams looking to create a quick app for productivity, collaboration and more. Keep up the great work. I do suggest getting a few senior tech leaders to try it out in there orgs with various different departments to get broader use cases and ideas. I will be sending to my network!!!! Well done
@dhruvtruth Nothing in particular, just keep advancing this. If devs can use this to get 90% of the way there for MVPs/SLCs then it has huge potential.
Awesome work from the Create team. As a CEO and Founder I've worked with the Create team to move from prototype to fully featured web apps and their speed & quality has been incredible - this is huge step forward in the journey to making fast & quality product development available to everyone.
