cdbx: Build Anything from Idea to Live App

You describe it. cdbx builds it.

cdbx is a browser-based development environment designed for everyone, whether you are an experienced developer or a creator with no coding experience. It eliminates the need for complex setup, allowing users to open a tab and start building immediately.

Benefits

cdbx offers several key advantages that make software creation faster and more accessible.

For developers, it functions as a full-featured Integrated Development Environment directly within the browser. Users get all the tools they expect from a desktop IDE without needing to install anything locally or configure their machines.

For makers and creators with no coding experience, the platform uses AI to bring ideas to life. Users can simply describe what they want to build in plain English, and the AI will generate the application.

The platform integrates external services like Notion, GitHub, Slack, and Google Drive directly into the AI context. This allows the AI to query these services on demand, eliminating the need for copy-pasting or switching tabs.

AI agents are woven into every step of the development process. These agents help with initial generation, error fixing, and UI refinement rather than just sitting in a chat window.

The Planning Agent acts as a strategy partner with full access to connected services. It can write product requirement documents, design system architecture, plan research reports, or build slide decks by reading existing data. This agent supports six different plan types including general strategy, web app planning, architecture design, deep research, slide creation, and API specification.

Use Cases

cdbx is designed for a wide range of scenarios where quick application development is needed.

Users can describe an idea in plain English or select a template to get started. The AI then generates all the necessary files instantly, and the app runs in the browser immediately. Once the app is ready, users can publish it with one click and share the live app with anyone in the world.

The platform supports any language or framework, making it suitable for building frontend or backend applications, scripted or compiled code in one place. Supported frontend technologies include React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Preact, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Backend options include Python, Go, Node.js, Java, Ruby, Bun, Rust, and Kotlin.

The Runner API allows users to execute code from anywhere using a single API call. The code runs in a secure sandbox, returning output and error messages in milliseconds. No infrastructure, Docker, or cold starts are required. This feature supports 30 languages including Python, Go, Node, Rust, Java, C, C++, Swift, Haskell, and Elixir.

Pricing

cdbx offers a flexible pricing model to suit different needs.

The Free tier costs $0 per month and is available forever. No credit card is required to start using the platform.

The Pro tier costs $20 per month and includes a 7-day free trial. Users can cancel anytime.

The Team tier is coming soon and is built for teams that build together.

Vibes

The platform encourages users to join thousands of developers and creators who are already building with cdbx. The emphasis is on starting free today with no credit card required, making it accessible to a broad audience.

Additional Information

The Runner API provides a billing structure based on code executions. The Free tier includes 100 executions per month. The Pro tier includes 2,000 executions per month. Top-ups are available when needed and never expire.

The cdbx MCP server exposes a run_code tool, allowing AI agents like Claude to execute generated code directly. Each execution runs in a fresh container with network isolation, memory caps, and PID limits to ensure security.
