Conversational MVP Builder

The MVP Builder is Autoflowly's core feature. You describe a business idea in plain English, and the platform generates a complete, deployed full-stack application.

How It Works

The generation pipeline has four stages:

1. Idea Analysis

When you submit a description, the system:

Extracts the industry, target audience, and core features
Identifies the best-fit template from 54+ prebuilt options
Determines the tech stack (React/Next.js frontend, FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL)

2. Template-AI Hybrid Generation

Autoflowly uses a hybrid architecture — combining prebuilt templates with AI code generation:

Component	How It's Built
Project structure	Prebuilt template matching your app category
UI components	AI-generated React/Next.js pages customized to your description
Backend API	FastAPI endpoints with auth, CRUD, and business logic
Database schema	PostgreSQL models based on your features
Styling	Tailwind CSS with professional design patterns
Deployment config	Kubernetes manifests, startup scripts, health checks

This hybrid approach means you get the reliability of tested templates with the customization of AI generation.

3. SmartDoctor Validation

Before deployment, every MVP passes through the SmartDoctor self-healing engine:

Python syntax check — compile() all .py files
JSX/TSX validation — detect unclosed tags, broken imports
Dependency verification — ensure all packages are declared
Config scaffolding — generate missing build configs
Multi-pass repair — detect → fix → verify → repeat

4. Deployment

The final MVP is deployed to Kubernetes:

Gets a live URL: https://mvp-{name}.preview.autoflowly.com
Runs in its own isolated pod
Includes health checks and auto-restart
Frontend served via Nginx, backend via Uvicorn

AI Providers

You can choose which AI generates your code:

Provider	Model	Best For
Claude (default)	claude-3-5-sonnet	Structured, complete code with fewer errors
GPT	gpt-4 / gpt-3.5-turbo	Fast generation, good for simpler apps
Gemini	gemini-pro	Alternative with automatic fallback

The system automatically falls back to another provider if the selected one is unavailable or returns an error.

What Gets Generated

A typical MVP includes 10–25 files:

frontend/
├── src/
│   ├── app/
│   │   ├── layout.tsx          # Root layout with nav
│   │   ├── page.tsx            # Landing page
│   │   ├── login/page.tsx      # Auth pages
│   │   ├── register/page.tsx
│   │   └── dashboard/
│   │       ├── page.tsx        # Main dashboard
│   │       └── settings/page.tsx
│   ├── components/             # Reusable UI components
│   └── lib/                    # Utilities, API client
├── package.json
├── tailwind.config.ts
└── next.config.js

backend/
├── main.py                     # FastAPI app with all routes
├── config.py                   # Environment config
├── requirements.txt            # Python dependencies
└── models/                     # Database models

Customizing After Generation

After your MVP is generated, you can:

Edit code in the built-in Code Editor
Chat to modify — describe changes in natural language and regenerate specific files
Run SmartDoctor — diagnose and fix issues with one click
Re-deploy — push changes live instantly

API Access

Generate MVPs programmatically:

curl -X POST https://api.autoflowly.com/api/conversational-mvp/quick-mvp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "app_name": "Budget Tracker",
    "description": "Personal budget tracker for freelancers with expense categories and monthly reports",
    "ai_provider": "claude"
  }'
