What is Base44?
Base44 is a no-code, prompt-based platform for building apps, websites and AI agents. You describe what you want in plain language and it generates the frontend, backend, database, user authentication and hosting, so founders and non-technical teams can launch working software without writing code.
Most prototypes stall on the boring parts: setting up a database, wiring login, configuring hosting and payments. Base44 bundles those pieces into the platform, so a prompt produces an app that already runs on production infrastructure. You iterate by chatting with the AI, editing visually, or changing code directly on higher plans, then connect a custom domain and track usage from a built-in analytics dashboard.
