The Vision
Employees describe what they want. Build Agent generates a working app — design, logic, integrations, tests. Replaces multi-week citizen developer projects with conversational iteration.
What It Actually Does
Draft schema from natural-language requirements. Wire up UI and flow. Generate test data and baseline tests. Iterative refinement as the user asks for changes. Closer to ‘AI pair programmer’ than ‘generated from template.‘
Where It Works
Internal workflows, approval apps, simple data collection forms, reporting dashboards. The 80% of custom apps that didn’t need a senior developer anyway — now buildable by the requester.
Where Human Oversight Matters
Complex business logic, compliance-sensitive workflows, integrations with finance or HR systems. Build Agent accelerates, but architecture review before production remains essential. Generated code needs the same scrutiny as code anyone writes.
