Builder6

The AI-Native Cloud Development Platform

Build in the Cloud. Deploy On-Premise. Own Your Code.

Introduction • How It Works • Key Features • Getting Started

Builder6 is an open-source, AI-native low-code development environment designed to bridge the gap between rapid cloud prototyping and secure local deployment.

It empowers developers and business users to build enterprise-grade applications (Data Models, UIs, and Logic) entirely in the cloud using Generative AI and visual editors.

The Builder6 Philosophy: Unlike traditional SaaS platforms that lock your data into their ecosystem, Builder6 operates on a "Design Cloud, Run Local" model. You leverage the power of the cloud for development, but you retain 100% ownership of the final application artifact, which can be exported and hosted on your own infrastructure.

We combine the collaboration and AI capabilities of a Cloud SaaS with the security of On-Premise hosting.

1. Develop (Cloud): Use Builder6.com to design your app. Use AI to instantly generate database schemas and page layouts.
2. Export (Artifact): Download your application as a standard metadata package (JSON/YAML) or a containerized build.
3. Run (Local): Install the package into your local runtime environment. Your production data never touches the Builder6 cloud.

• Prompt-to-App: Simply describe your business idea (e.g., "A CRM for a real estate agency"), and Builder6 generates the entities, fields, and relationships instantly.
• Generative UI: Create complex forms, dashboards, and list views using natural language prompts.
• Logic Assistant: AI helps write validation rules and business logic scripts.

• Object Modeler: An intuitive ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) designer for managing data structures.
• Page Builder: A drag-and-drop UI editor powered by Amis and React, fully customizable with Tailwind CSS.
• Menu & Navigation: Visually configure application routing and menu hierarchies.

• Standard Tech Stack: The generated applications rely on standard open-source technologies (Node.js, MongoDB/PostgreSQL, React).
• Code Sovereignty: You own the source code and metadata. You are free to modify, extend, or host it anywhere without a perpetual subscription dependency.

Builder6 is built using a modern, scalable web stack:

• Backend Framework: NestJS
• Database: MongoDB
• Template Engine: LiquidJS
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• AI Integration: OpenAI SDK (compatible with Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT models)

The fastest way to experience Builder6 is to use our hosted service. No installation required.
