Helped us create a fast and scalable backend, ensuring that every node, connection, and update in Graphify happens instantly. Without Convex, handling dynamic knowledge graphs would be a major challenge.

Our real-time backend that makes Zavimo super fast and reactive.

good product simple to integrate

Chef by Convex is an AI agent that builds real-time full-stack applications. Describe the app you want to build. Chef turns your prompt into a working app with a backend, database, auth, file storage, cron jobs, and a deployed frontend.

Hey everyone!

I'm Jamie, one of the founders of Convex. And I have something very exciting to share with you today.

Many AI coding tools generate beautiful frontends, but they stumble when it comes to backend engineering. So you end up with an app that looks great, but can't store or share anything!

👨‍🍳 Meet Chef... an AI app builder that's actually awesome at full-stack.

Chef truly understands how to build production-ready applications from end to end. How? It's powered by Convex, our reactive database optimized for AI. With everything in pure TypeScript, your backend code lives right alongside your app code, with full type-checking and autocompletion. This means your favorite AI tools, like Chef, can generate high-quality code that works in one shot.

Chef features:

Automatically synced, real-time apps
Built-in authentication
Integration with OpenAI out of the box to make AI-powered apps
Beautiful dashboards to manage your backend data and logs
One-click deployment so you can go live instantly.

No configuring anything, no boilerplate madness, no waiting 5 minutes to provision a database. Just tell Chef what you want to build, and it handles everything. Build a game, an AI chat app, or the next great social app.

Give it a spin and tell me what you think. I'm around to answer questions and hear your feedback!

Jamie and the Convex Team

Chef is the best coding agent I’ve used so far. Whether you’re a vibe coder or slow cooker like me, it’s fully baked! Convex’s underlying system design principles and type safety make for the hottest combination for your AI sous. I have a pretty rigorous flow with Cursor that I have to continuously update to get to a 65% meh level, with Chef, I’ve been able to sear through complex features on chat at a time. Multi-tenant starter app? No problem! Directory starter app? Pfff. Human-in-the-loop agentic marketing platform? Now yer talking. One clear feature at a time, iterate to greatness, it’s smooth as Tibetan butter and very high one-shot success rate!

@ivzirs Glad to hear Chef's been working well for you!

Chefs been pretty dope for kicking off new greenfield projects. Any plans to let me use Chef with an existing project? That would really pop off!!

@redman Yep! We're working on support for some workflows where you can take an existing project and bring it back into Chef to make additional improvements.

Thanks for the kind words about Chef, and I'm glad it's been working well for you!
