About Softr
Softr's AI App Builder generates the database, roles, workflows and frontend from one prompt.
Softr is a no-code app builder that has spent the autumn building its own database and AI hooks. On 10 November it launched an AI App Builder: a user describes the app, and Softr generates the database, user roles and permissions, workflows, integrations and a fully custom frontend. It follows October's Migrate from Airtable flow, record grouping, credit usage history, in-app notifications and official connectors in Claude and ChatGPT.
