Gadget

Gadget is a hosted full-stack JavaScript development platform that combines a backend, frontend, database, hosting, integrations, tooling, and AI-assisted workflows into a single product. It targets agencies, app developers, ecommerce brands, and solo developers, enabling teams to build Shopify and BigCommerce apps, internal tools, multi-tenant SaaS, and custom integrations. Gadget provides instant, typesafe APIs, a cloud IDE (or support for local tools), auto-generated frontend components, and production hosting with enterprise-scale infrastructure.

Gadget is an AI-centered IDE with all of the infrastructure, hosting, tools, integrations, and best practices you need under one roof. Code, configure, debug, deploy, and scale apps with an AI assistant that can do it all quickly, and ensure it's always done correctly. Our ethos on AI is different. We spent years building a framework that guarantees that the sensitive parts of your application (auth, security, permissions, CRUD APIs) are always working. Our AI is taught to prioritize using concepts from our framework, as they are built by expert humans, before completing the requirements with custom code generated from the latest LLMs. The net result is you get a ton of speed while you build, but you’re not rolling the dice with AI on sensitive code that ALWAYS NEEDS TO BE RIGHT.
