Open-source fullstack app generation powered by Convex
Chef is the only open-source AI app builder that knows backend. By applying Convex primitives, your apps are automatically equipped with optimal backend patterns and best practices. Your full-stack web apps come with a built-in database, zero config auth, file uploads, real-time UIs, and background workflows. If you want to check out the secret sauce that powers Chef, you can view or download the system prompt here (https://github.com/get-convex/chef/releases/latest).

As mentioned above, Chef's capabilities are enabled by being built on top of Convex, the open-source backend designed to make building full-stack apps actually enjoyable. The "magic" in Chef is just the fact that it's using Convex's APIs, which are an ideal fit for codegen.

Development of the Chef is led by the Convex team. We welcome bug fixes (https://github.com/get-convex/chef/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) and love receiving feedback (https://discord.gg/convex).
