How Codify builds
What happens between your prompt and a working app.
Codify is not a single AI call. Every build moves through a pipeline designed around one rule: you should never receive an app that doesn’t work.
1. Discovery
A fast model reads your message and decides what you actually want: a quick answer, a web app, a website, a game, or a native mobile app. You never pick from a menu of build types — the conversation figures it out.
2. Design & planning
Big builds and games get a dedicated planning pass on our most capable model. For games this decides real art direction — how the world, characters, and motion should look — before a line of code exists. Multi-page apps get a file-level architecture plan.
3. Generation
The build engine writes the entire codebase against a strict internal rubric: real features over mockups, seeded realistic data, working navigation and state, a real design system — never lorem ipsum, never dead buttons, never a splash screen pretending to be an app.
4. Verified builds
Fresh web builds run in a disposable cloud sandbox where Codify installs dependencies, compiles the project, reads its own errors, and patches them in a loop until the build is green. Full-stack builds go further: the sandbox boots the app and runs smoke tests against the running server before it’s allowed to ship.
5. Quality gates
After generation, deterministic checks scan the output for the failure modes AI builders are notorious for — placeholder copy, dead handlers, welcome-screens-as-apps, games whose Start button does nothing, keyboard-only games that can’t be played on a phone. Anything caught triggers an automatic targeted fix before delivery.
