Future of software development

From a sentence to a system.

Describe the app you need. A team of AI agents plans it, builds it on a real machine, catches its own errors and ships it live.

Replay, sped up · the real run took 8m 23s

An animated replay of Paddlewheel building studio bookings in Plan mode: a research agent gathers references, a task agent writes tasks with acceptance criteria, the coding agent builds each one in a sandbox, catches a failing build and fixes it, then the app is committed, deployed and promoted to production.

In Plan mode a research agent gathers references, a task agent turns your idea into tasks with acceptance criteria, and a coding agent builds and checks each one on a real machine. Watch every step, and step in whenever you like.

The platform

It runs the code, not just writes it.

Every project gets its own cloud machine, and everything after the first build happens on it: changes, versions, deploys and domains. Nothing is a mock-up.

A machine per project

Terminal, files and a dev server in a sandbox of its own. The agent runs your app and reads what actually happened.

Every change is a commit

Compare any two versions, or restore an older one in a click. The agent’s work and yours sit in the same history.

Production is a pointer

Promote any deploy instantly. Roll back by promoting an older one, and every deploy keeps its own permalink.

A live address from day one

Every app gets its own subdomain. On Pro and Ultimate, point your own domain with one DNS record and TLS issues itself.

SupabaseGitHubNetlifyStripeNotionLinearResend+ MCP catalog

Plugs into your stack

Supabase, GitHub and Netlify are built in, with a catalog of MCP connectors for tools like Stripe, Notion, Linear and Resend.

Ownership

Connect your accounts. Keep what you build.

Most AI builders keep everything on their own servers. Paddlewheel can put each piece of your app in an account you control, and you choose which ones.

Your database

Connect Supabase and your database is created inside your own Supabase organization.

Via OAuth

Your hosting

Connect Netlify and every deploy lands in your own account. Skip it and we host the app for you.

Optional

Your code

Connect GitHub for a private repository that stays in sync both ways.

GitHub App

Your domain

Point your own domain at the app with one DNS record. TLS issues itself.

Pro & Ultimate

Start from a sentence

Say what's broken. Get the tool that fixes it.

You don’t need a spec. Describe the problem the way you’d explain it to a friend, and the agents turn it into screens, data and a live app.

The studio owner

Bookings live in a notebook and three group chats.

They typed

“A booking app for my yoga studio, with a weekly class schedule and memberships.”

  • A schedule members can book from
  • Class passes with credits left
  • An admin view to add and move classes
Illustrative

The agency

Leads slip between the first call and the invoice.

They typed

“A CRM for my agency that tracks every lead from the first call to the paid invoice.”

  • A pipeline board from lead to won
  • Notes and the next step on every lead
  • Invoices that show what's paid and due
Illustrative

The operations lead

Nobody knows what's running low until it's gone.

They typed

“An inventory tracker for our two warehouses that warns me before anything runs out.”

  • Stock per item, per warehouse
  • Low-stock flags against a threshold
  • A log of every move, with who and when

Pricing

Start free. Pay when it earns it.

Every plan gets the same agents, the same real sandbox and the same deploys. Paying buys room: more projects, more credits, longer sandbox days.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Anything else? Ask us on X, where we build in public.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Describe what you want in plain words and answer the agents' questions when they ask. If you do code, the terminal, the files and the full git history are all there.

How long does a build take?

Most first builds take 3 to 10 minutes in Plan mode, which researches and plans before it writes code. Quick mode skips the planning and builds in one pass. Either way you can watch every step, and stop it at any point.

What does it build with?

Next.js with TypeScript, Tailwind and shadcn/ui. When your app needs a database and sign-in, connect Supabase and the agent sets it up in your own Supabase organization.

How is this different from Lovable, Bolt or v0?

Paddlewheel's agents work on a real machine: they run the build, read the actual error output and fix it before anything ships. Every change is a commit you can compare and restore, production is a pointer you can move back, and your database, hosting, code and domain can live in accounts you control.

What do I own?

Your code, and every account you connect. Supabase projects are created in your organization, deploys go to your Netlify account once it's connected, and GitHub keeps a private repository in sync.

Can my team use it?

Yes. Organizations come with owner, admin and member roles, invitations, and projects you can share with viewers or editors.

What's free?

The Free plan includes 2 projects, 4 credits a day, 45 minutes of sandbox time a day and 3 publishes a day, with a free subdomain for every app. No credit card.

So, what do you want to build?

Type it here. Sign up free, and it’s waiting for the agents when you land.
