Chef is an AI-powered full-stack web app builder by the Convex team, forked from bolt.diy, that generates apps with a built-in reactive database, zero-config auth, file uploads, real-time UIs, and background workflows. It is available as a hosted webapp and can be self-hosted locally, with its codegen powered by Convex's backend APIs.
Use cases
- build a full-stack web app from a natural language prompt
- generate a backend with database schema and API from a description
- prototype a web app with auth and file uploads without setup
- self-host an AI app builder locally
- build a small e-commerce backend with stock tracking via AI
When to choose
- you want to quickly generate full-stack apps on the Convex platform
- you want an AI builder that handles backend concerns like database, auth, and workflows
- you want to inspect or fork the system prompt and codebase of an AI app builder
When to avoid
- you need a production app builder without depending on the Convex platform
- you want to redistribute a fork without replacing the Convex-specific authentication
- you need non-web targets like mobile or desktop apps
