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. - -By the time the foundation is ready, the excitement is gone. What if you could skip straight to the fun part? - -## Meet Reflex Build - -[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. - -Not a toy. Not a mockup. A real app you can run, edit, and deploy. - -Think of it as your co-founder who handles all the boring scaffolding so you can focus on the parts that matter. - -## From Prompt to Product - -Here’s what a typical workflow looks like with Reflex Build: - -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. -2. **Describe your app** — tell Reflex Build what you want: *“AI-driven support dashboard with ticket search, alert timelines, and user profiles.”* -3. **Watch it appear** — in less than a minute, you’ve got pages, components, and state wired together. - -At this point you’re not staring at boilerplate.

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: - -- **Production-first**: It generates actual Reflex code you can extend, not locked-in templates. -- **Theming built-in**: Charts, forms, and tables inherit your app’s look automatically. -- **Real integrations**: Connect to databases, APIs, and auth providers the same way you would by hand. -- **Fast iteration**: Change the prompt, regenerate, and keep what you like. - -Instead of bolting AI on top of your workflow, Reflex Build is woven directly into it. - -## Who It’s For - -- **Solo devs** who want to move fast without drowning in boilerplate. -- **Product teams** that need working scaffolds to customize and ship. -- **Founders** who want to turn an idea into a testable app over a weekend. -- **Enterprise teams** that require production ready apps, real integrations, and the flexibility to extend in Python. - -If you’re building dashboards, admin panels, or internal tools, Reflex Build is like starting a sprint with 70% of the work already done. - -## The Future of App Development - -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. - -Get started with [Reflex Build]({ai_builder.overview.what_is_reflex_build.path}) and start building apps today!
