## Stop Starting From Scratch
16+
17+
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.
18+
19+
By the time the foundation is ready, the excitement is gone. What if you could skip straight to the fun part?
20+
21+
## Meet Reflex Build
22+
23+
[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.
24+
25+
Not a toy. Not a mockup. An real app you can run, edit, and deploy.
26+
27+
Think of it as your co-founder who handles all the boring scaffolding so you can focus on the parts that matter.
28+
29+
## From Prompt to Product
30+
31+
Here’s what a typical workflow looks like with Reflex Build:
32+
33+
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.
34+
2. **Describe your app** — tell Reflex Build what you want: *“AI-driven support dashboard with ticket search, alert timelines, and user profiles.”*
35+
3. **Watch it appear** — in less than a minute, you’ve got pages, components, and state wired together.
36+
37+
At this point you’re not staring at boilerplate. You’re clicking through a live app that already feels real.
38+
39+
```python exec
40+
import reflex as rx
41+
from reflex_image_zoom import image_zoom
42+
43+
def render_image():
44+
return rx.el.div(
45+
image_zoom(
46+
rx.image(
47+
src="/blog/reflex_build_example.png",
48+
class_name="p-2 rounded-md h-auto",
49+
border=f"0.81px solid {rx.color('slate', 5)}",
50+
),
51+
class_name="rounded-md overflow-hidden",
52+
),
53+
rx.text(
54+
'Generated from the prompt: "Give me a sales dashboard with charts, filters, and a database connection."',
55+
class_name="text-sm text-slate-10 mt-2 italic",
56+
),
57+
class_name="w-full flex flex-col rounded-md cursor-pointer py-2",
58+
)
59+
```
60+
61+
```python eval
62+
63+
rx.el.div(render_image())
64+
65+
```
66+
67+
## Why Reflex Build Feels Different
68+
69+
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:
70+
71+
- **Production-first**: It generates actual Reflex code you can extend, not locked-in templates.
72+
- **Theming built-in**: Charts, forms, and tables inherit your app’s look automatically.
73+
- **Real integrations**: Connect to databases, APIs, and auth providers the same way you would by hand.
74+
- **Fast iteration**: Change the prompt, regenerate, and keep what you like.
75+
76+
Instead of bolting AI on top of your workflow, Reflex Build is woven directly into it.
77+
78+
## Who It’s For
79+
80+
- **Solo devs** who want to move fast without drowning in boilerplate.
81+
- **Product teams** that need working scaffolds to customize and ship.
82+
- **Founders** who want to turn an idea into a testable app over a weekend.
83+
- **Enterprise teams** that require production ready apps, real integrations, and the flexibility to extend in Python.
84+
85+
If you’re building dashboards, admin panels, or internal tools, Reflex Build is like starting a sprint with 70% of the work already done.
86+
87+
## The Future of App Development
88+
89+
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.
90+
91+
Open up Reflex Build, type your first prompt, and see what you can create in minutes.
