SoftBox Studio
AI-powered application builder
STRUCTURED OUTPUT, NOT FREE-FORM.
Turning an idea into working, owned software still starts with a blank editor. Non-technical founders and fast-moving builders either pay for a closed no-code tool they cannot leave, or wait weeks for scaffolding. SoftBox Studio closes that gap: describe the app in chat, watch an AI plan and build it, then refine it visually and export real, deployable Laravel + Vue code.
The core design decision was making the AI output structured and reversible, not free-form. Every turn returns a JSON action protocol (create_page, generate_crud, update_theme, update_database) applied transactionally, so partial failures cannot corrupt a project. A dedicated Context Engine compiles the whole application's memory into each system prompt, so the AI always reasons over the full app rather than a single page. Providers sit behind an AiProvider contract (multiple hosted LLM APIs, local OpenCode, and a keyless offline Fake), and every page is a JSON block tree rendered by the frontend - templates are never edited directly.
Phases 1 and 2 shipped: visual builder, version history with undoable snapshots, a three-tier component registry (30 primitives, 26 sections, 6 page templates), specialized agents (planner, architect, developer, designer, reviewer), a visual Database Designer, a Workflow Builder, and a Monaco-based code explorer that renders a real Laravel + Vue codebase with generated Pest tests. Phase 3 (multi-agent collaboration, Git integration, deploy, marketplace) is on the roadmap.
Queue-backed multi-turn auto-continuation with a rotating token to abort stale chains, solving PHP timeouts and runaway loops · Fully demoable with no API key via a deterministic offline provider · OpenCode local-AI server, Reverb WebSockets, project export, and a self-deploy admin panel
