Build and launch full-stack applications in minutes using natural language prompts.
What it does
Generates complete web apps from natural language prompts (e.g., 'I need a CRM for my agency'). Automatically provisions databases, user authentication, and API endpoints. Allows for real-time iterative changes by simply chatting with the AI builder. Enables one-click deployment to a global cloud infrastructure. Features built-in integrations with Stripe, Google Sheets, and Slack.
Why it works
Speed: Move from idea to a functional, clickable MVP in under 30 minutes. No Friction: No knowledge of HTML, CSS, or SQL is required; the AI handles all logical structures. Resilience: Built-in 'Self-Healing' code that adapts to new requirements on the fly. Acquisition: Now backed by Wix, it offers a professional path from prototype to enterprise-ready site.

Founder story
Founded in 2024 by Maor Shlomo in Israel. Maor, a solo founder with severe ADHD and no outside funding, built Base44 to solve the 'bottleneck of building.' He successfully navigated the company through geopolitical conflict and extreme technical pressure to become one of the most successful AI solo-ventures in history.
