BuildShip

BuildShip | Visual Low-code Backend Builder is a no-code/low-code platform that lets you design, connect, and deploy backend APIs and workflows in minutes using a visual builder powered by AI. It emphasizes rapid API creation, AI-enabled flow composition, and scalable, serverless architectures suitable for modern applications. The platform ships with a broad ecosystem of pre-built templates and nodes, enabling you to assemble complex backends without traditional coding, then extend with JavaScript/TypeScript when needed.

How it works

1. Browse or create flow nodes. Choose from a large set of ready-made nodes or generate your own using natural language with AI.
2. Connect AI models and tools. Build multimodal flows that combine LLMs, image/video generation, and other AI models (OpenAI, Stable Diffusion, HuggingFace, etc.).
3. Assemble workflows. Link API calls, scripts, branches, loops, returns, and switches to implement your backend logic.
4. Run and deploy. Use built-in cloud resources (Firestore or your own database), secret management, scheduling, and versioned code to deploy reliable backends.
