About
Softgen AI is an AI-powered web application builder that turns natural-language descriptions into full-stack applications. Its AI agent writes Firebase and Next.js code with Tailwind CSS and shadcn UI components, wiring up user authentication, Firestore data storage, Stripe payments, Resend email, webhooks, and SEO defaults such as sitemaps and structured data. Users iterate conversationally, and generated code can be exported and owned outright.
Founded by Marko Kraemer and later joined by Domenico Gagliardi, the Frankfurt-based startup grew to roughly $500K in annual revenue and was acquired by Arising Ventures. Pricing starts at $33 per year for platform access plus pay-as-you-go token costs, with a $3 three-day trial.
What it can do
- Natural-language to full-stack app generation
- Firebase auth, Firestore, and storage auto-setup
- Stripe and Resend integrations built in
- Exportable Next.js codebase
