Base44
AI app builder that generates full-stack web apps and internal tools from a written description, with a built-in database and auth.
Overview
Base44 is an AI-powered application builder that creates full-stack web apps from a plain-language description. It provides built-in authentication, a database and hosting, so the generated app is usable immediately without connecting external services. You refine the app through conversation with the AI, which edits the underlying code. It targets non-technical users who need functional internal tools, dashboards or customer-facing apps without hiring a developer. Base44 was acquired by Wix in 2025.
