Softgen
AI agent that turns plain-language prompts into full-stack web apps you fully own.
Acquired — still operating
acquired by Arising Ventures
About
Softgen is an AI-powered app builder that generates production-ready full-stack web applications from natural-language descriptions. Users pick a stack (Next.js frontend with Firebase or Supabase backend), describe what they want, and the AI agent scaffolds the app with authentication, database, payments via Stripe or Lemon Squeezy, and email notifications.
Its differentiator is code ownership: generated projects can be exported in full to GitHub and deployed independently on Vercel, avoiding vendor lock-in. Pricing is positioned for indie builders, with a low yearly subscription plus usage-based AI tokens. The company was acquired by Arising Ventures and reports hundreds of thousands in yearly revenue from thousands of users.
