Frequently Asked Questions

Softgen is a revolutionary AI-powered platform that allows you to build full-stack web applications without writing a single line of code. Simply describe your project and provide instructions in plain English, and Softgen’s advanced AI will construct your application. It starts with a pre-configured Next.js boilerplate and can be customized to your specific needs. With Softgen, you get a complete development environment, including frontend (React, Shadcn, Tailwind CSS) and backend (Firebase) setups, plus the ability to integrate any additional libraries or services you require.

Unlike basic boilerplates, Softgen provides a fully customized starting point AND builds your entire application. With Softgen, you’re not just getting code snippets; you’re getting a complete first version of your project built tailored to your specific requirements. It’s like having an entire development team at your disposal, working at AI speed and efficiency, all for the price of a standard boilerplate.

You can create a wide range of web applications, including but not limited to: AI-powered apps, directory/listing platforms, social networking sites, productivity tools like project management software, educational platforms, finance applications, entertainment apps, and booking & reservation systems. The platform’s flexibility and power make it suitable for both simple projects and more complex, feature-rich applications.

Absolutely! We believe in giving you full control over your creation. Once you’ve paid for Softgen, you gain complete access to your project’s GitHub repository. You can add yourself as a collaborator, allowing you to work alongside Softgen on the project. This means you can export, modify, and use the code as you see fit. Your project is truly yours, forever.

Softgen is incredibly flexible and adaptable. While it comes pre-configured with React, Next.js, and Firebase, you have the freedom to integrate any libraries or services you prefer. Whether you want to use Resend for emails, LemonSqueezy for payments, or any other specific tool, Softgen can accommodate your needs.

One of the most exciting aspects of Softgen is its speed and efficiency. While the exact time depends on your project’s complexity, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can bring your ideas to life. As a benchmark, projects similar to those showcased on our website can typically be built within 2-8 hours.

While hosting for production isn’t directly included, we provide detailed assistance in setting up free hosting on Vercel for your frontend and Firebase for your backend. During development, you’ll have access to a preview environment for testing. When you’re ready to go live, we’ll guide you through the straightforward process of deploying to production.
