What is AICODESIT

AI Codes It is a browser-based full-stack development platform. Just say what you want to build — AI writes the code, sets up the database, handles auth, and ships it live. All without leaving your browser.

  • Monaco-powered code editor with syntax highlighting for 10+ languages
  • Real-time dev preview with hot reload — isolated container per project
  • Built-in AI assistant (Neural Link) that reads your files and writes code on request
  • One-click publish to yourproject.aicodesit.app or your own custom domain
  • Built-in PostgreSQL database with REST API and SQL console
  • Edge functions — deploy serverless JavaScript that runs on the platform
  • Secrets manager — store API keys and credentials server-side, never in git
  • GitHub auto-deploy — push to GitHub and your site updates automatically

Create your first project

From the Dashboard, click New Project. Type your project name — the subdomain is auto-generated as you type (e.g. "My App" → my-app). You can customize the subdomain before creating. Once created, you're dropped straight into the IDE.

Note: Subdomains must be lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only. They can be changed later in Domain Settings.

Choose a template

When creating a project you can pick a starting template:

  • Blank HTML — plain index.html, zero dependencies. Best for simple sites or when you want full control
  • React + Vite — TypeScript, src/pages/ and src/components/ folders ready. Best for interactive apps
  • Next.js — full-stack React with server-side rendering
  • More templates available and growing — check the Templates page

The IDE at a glance

After creating a project you land in the IDE. The layout has four main zones:

  • Left sidebar — file explorer. Click any file to open it in a tab
  • Center — Monaco code editor with tabs
  • Right — AI chat panel (Neural Link). Toggle it with the AI switch in the header
  • Bottom — dev preview iframe. Or open it in a new tab via the Links button

Talk to the AI

Type what you want to build in the AI chat panel and hit enter. The AI reads your project files and writes the code. In Build mode it shows file blocks — click Save to apply each one. In Auto mode it applies changes and runs commands autonomously.

Publish your project

Click Publish in the header. Your site goes live at yourproject.aicodesit.app — or your custom domain if you've connected one. Publishing uses blue-green deployment: zero downtime, the old version stays live until the new one is ready.
