Final Word

Emergent is one of the most exciting AI builders you’ll come across. You describe your idea, and the platform delivers a working app with backend, hosting, and integrations. It’s perfect to test and launch fast without writing code.

While it still has some rough edges, especially around reliability and support, the experience feels like a glimpse into the future of software creation. Emergent is worth trying if you’re a founder, maker, or freelancer who values speed.

Final Word

I was genuinely impressed, and it’s no wonder the company was acquired so quickly. Base44 delivers exactly what it promises: an AI‑powered no‑code environment where you describe your app and it builds itself from backend, frontend, and hosting included. For solo founders, product managers, or small teams looking to test ideas fast or create custom productivity tools, it’s a no-brainer. While it may not suit complex workflows or enterprise-grade logic yet, it’s an outstanding value for what it offers. Post-acquisition by Wix, I expect even stronger infrastructure and integration opportunities in the future.
