AppSmoothly
AppSmoothly gives an app its own room. You and your customer talk in it, and an agent that never leaves turns the talk into working software. It refines the idea with you, builds it, reviews its own work, and hands you a version to click through. Say yes and it ships. Set up a loop, like a nightly report or a cleanup, and it runs while you sleep.
The agent lives inside the app. It can look something up in your data when the customer asks, prepare an invoice, send a mail or an SMS, fix the bug you described in plain words. Between tasks it costs nothing but the small server it lives on.
It is boring on purpose. Plain Ruby on Rails. The workshop with the agent, its previews and its loops runs on one VPS; production runs on its own. Each piece of work gets its own container. Every change is a branch, a preview forked from production data, and a pull request, and nothing crosses to the production server unreviewed.
The base comes with opinions. Guardrails on what the agent may touch, secrets that never pass through the chat, a build template that follows your main branch by itself. Safe enough to ship a small niche app and then invite the customer in. When AI is not enough, any Rails freelancer can pick up a normal codebase. Bring your own Claude subscription. When nothing is being built, you pay for the VPS and the backups.
