## Stop Starting From Scratch
20+
21+
Every developer knows the feeling: you’ve got a clear idea in your head, maybe even a sketch on a whiteboard. But before you can test it with real users, you have to grind through setup. Wiring state, scaffolding pages, connecting a database, writing the same boilerplate you wrote last week.
22+
23+
By the time the foundation is ready, the excitement is gone. What if you could skip straight to the fun part?
24+
25+
## Meet Reflex Build
26+
27+
[Reflex Build](https://build.reflex.dev/) is our AI-powered builder that takes a simple prompt — *“Give me a sales dashboard with charts, filters, and a database connection”* and turns it into a working Reflex app.
28+
29+
Not a toy. Not a mockup. A real app you can run, edit, and deploy.
30+
31+
Think of it as your co-founder who handles all the boring scaffolding so you can focus on the parts that matter.
32+
33+
## From Prompt to Product
34+
35+
Here’s what a typical workflow looks like with Reflex Build:
36+
37+
1. **Connect your data** — This step is optional, but if you have external data, paste in a database URL or choose an integration to load the data.
38+
2. **Describe your app** — tell Reflex Build what you want: *“AI-driven support dashboard with ticket search, alert timelines, and user profiles.”*
39+
3. **Watch it appear** — in less than a minute, you’ve got pages, components, and state wired together.
40+
41+
At this point you’re not staring at boilerplate. You’re clicking through a live app that already feels real.
42+
43+
```python exec
44+
import reflex as rx
45+
from reflex_image_zoom import image_zoom
46+
47+
def render_image():
48+
return rx.el.div(
49+
image_zoom(
50+
rx.image(
51+
src="/blog/reflex_build_example.png",
52+
class_name="p-2 rounded-md h-auto",
53+
border=f"0.81px solid {rx.color('slate', 5)}",
54+
),
55+
class_name="rounded-md overflow-hidden",
56+
),
57+
rx.text(
58+
'Generated from the prompt: "Give me a sales dashboard with charts, filters, and a database connection."',
59+
class_name="text-sm text-slate-10 mt-2 italic",
60+
),
61+
class_name="w-full flex flex-col rounded-md cursor-pointer py-2",
62+
)
63+
```
64+
65+
```python eval
66+
67+
rx.el.div(render_image())
68+
69+
```
70+
71+
## Why Reflex Build Feels Different
72+
73+
There are plenty of “AI app generators” out there. Most stop at prototypes, pretty wireframes you can’t actually ship. Reflex Build is different. It's a Python first AI builder that creates enterprise ready apps you can take straight to production:
74+
75+
- **Production-first**: It generates actual Reflex code you can extend, not locked-in templates.
76+
- **Theming built-in**: Charts, forms, and tables inherit your app’s look automatically.
77+
- **Real integrations**: Connect to databases, APIs, and auth providers the same way you would by hand.
78+
- **Fast iteration**: Change the prompt, regenerate, and keep what you like.
79+
80+
Instead of bolting AI on top of your workflow, Reflex Build is woven directly into it.
81+
82+
## Who It’s For
83+
84+
- **Solo devs** who want to move fast without drowning in boilerplate.
85+
- **Product teams** that need working scaffolds to customize and ship.
86+
- **Founders** who want to turn an idea into a testable app over a weekend.
87+
- **Enterprise teams** that require production ready apps, real integrations, and the flexibility to extend in Python.
88+
89+
If you’re building dashboards, admin panels, or internal tools, Reflex Build is like starting a sprint with 70% of the work already done.
90+
91+
## The Future of App Development
92+
93+
We believe the future isn’t *AI replacing developers*. It’s AI working with developers in Python, where enterprise teams already build their most critical apps. Open up Reflex Build, type your first prompt, and see what you can create in minutes.
