Start from an idea
Turn a description into a brand-new custom app - Evonx scaffolds the web app and API repos and boots them for you.
When nothing off the shelf fits, describe the app you wish existed. Evonx builds a custom project from scratch: a web application for the people who'll use it and an API with its own database behind it — real code, in repositories you own.
When to choose this path
Start from an idea when your need is specific to how you work: a workshop tracker with your exact job states, a niche booking flow, an internal tool nobody sells. If your need matches a common shape — bookkeeping, CRM, inventory, appointments, field service — starting from a template gets you further faster. And if the software already exists in a Git repository, import it from GitHub instead.
How scaffolding works
-
Describe the app in your business chat: who uses it, what they must be able to do, and what data matters. One or two paragraphs is plenty.
-
Evonx classifies the request and, for a custom idea, scaffolds a greenfield custom project: a repository ending in
-web(the user interface) and one ending in-api(the backend and its Postgres database). -
The AI generates the first version — screens, data model, API endpoints, and seed data matching your description — and suggests starting a preview.
What the first version includes
- Working screens for the main flows you described, with navigation between them.
- A data model and database migrations to match, plus seed data so previews aren't empty.
- A REST API the web app talks to — also usable by other tools later.
- Repositories you can open, read, and take anywhere. There's no lock-in layer between you and the code.
Costs and limits
Scaffolding and evolving consume AI credits from your plan. What each plan includes is on the pricing page.
