Overview

Base44 is an AI-powered "vibe coding" platform that lets anyone build fully functional web and mobile applications from plain-language prompts. Type what you want — a CRM, a booking system, an internal dashboard — and Base44 generates the UI, backend logic, database, and authentication automatically. Apps can be published instantly with built-in hosting.

What sets Base44 apart is its speed and scope. Founded in early 2025 by Israeli solo developer Maor Shlomo, it grew to 2M+ users and ~$50M ARR within a year, leading to an $80M acquisition by Wix in June 2025. The platform now includes "Superagents" — autonomous AI agents that connect to your inbox, calendar, and tools to automate workflows beyond simple app building.

Base44 is best suited for non-technical founders, small business owners, and teams who need functional internal tools fast. It integrates with Google Calendar, Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, and Salesforce, and supports custom API connections for advanced use cases.
