The first AI IDE that actually makes functional infra and frontend. I was able to build multiple apps lightning fast and isn't ai slop yay
Although I normally shy away from AI dev tools, my client asked me to try out Gadget, and I was pleasantly surprised at the result. I had an urgent need to get a Shopify app built and ready for deployment for a client, and Gadget's AI tools saved me from having to dig in to learn Shopify's APIs and markup languages, as well as deal with the tedious configuration and setup of a Shopify App. Gadget's AI pretty much handled it all for me, including connecting to our Shopify API, handling authorizations and installations of the app, managing data and users between Shopify and our app, and creating an incredibly well designed user-interface integrated with Shopify Admin - all while following my specifications, requests, and software development plans. Impressive, to say the least!
If you're a front-end developer that's interested in building Shopify apps, Gadget is going to be your best friend! They make it so easy to spin up new apps and test new ideas, and their support team is super responsive and helpful.
I rarely use the term "game-changer" but Gadget is one of those cases where I find myself at ease of saying it: it handles most of the infrastructure in the development of Shopify apps (and not having to think about infrastructure and setting up webhooks is a huge plus) allowing us to focus mainly on the actual app development. I don't want to sound TOO flattering for Gadget but in a time where AI is mostly a buzzword their AI assistant is based on your own code base and helped us adding quick MVP versions of future features.
I use Gadget for a few personal projects as well as professionally, often to build quick integrations and demo proof of concepts. I love the ability to quickly have an app, in production, that I can share with others without the need to worry about anything but the core features and modelling of the data. With the new AI integrations they've pushed, I'm confident I'll be able to move even quicker. Love it!
Gadget changed our entire workflow to build custom apps and integrations for our clients. They handle the infrastructure and devops, we focus on what we love: writing code. It just works.
We've been using Gadget.dev for about two years, which has completely changed how we build and ship Shopify apps. What used to take days or even weeks now takes hours. Shopify apps on steroids!
My name is David and I'm the CEO at Zyber. We're a New Zealand based Shopify Plus & Klaviyo Master Platinum agency, and proud partners of Gadget. We discovered Gadget through a conversation with another agency in an airport lounge, and it has transformed how we build private applications for customers. Operating in New Zealand means we deal with smaller merchant sizes but similar integration needs as larger markets. Before Gadget, we'd create AWS projects with EC2 instances, spending significant client hours just setting up the framework and managing DevOps tasks. Gadget eliminated all that foundation-building work, allowing us to focus on actual app development. We've built fully functional apps in as little as four hours, which has significantly impacted our business. This makes custom development accessible even with limited resources. Gadget comes pre-built with 70% of the code – the critical part that could never be written by a junior developer. We've built over 20 apps for our clients on Gadget, and I highly recommend anyone looking to build out applications to take a close look. The amount of innovation we've seen over the last 2 years is HUGE - and the buildout of AI inside the product is next level. We've also just gone live with our first public app on behalf of one of our customers. We have a full case study live on the Gadget website and if anyone has any questions, feel free to connect with me. Thanks David Visser TL;DR - Gadget is an absolutely amazing product, and has completely transformed the way we build out applications for our customers.
Gadget has become by go-to tool for building Shopify apps. The platform has everything I need to focus on building experiences rather than infrastructure.
