How the AI Builder Works Inside

17 min readJanuary 15, 2026By Spawned Team

From your prompt to working code. The pipeline, the choices we made, and why.

System Overview

Spawned's AI builder uses a multi-model architecture to generate, refine, and deploy full-stack applications from natural language descriptions.

Core Components

1. Prompt Processor

Analyzes user input to understand:

  • App type (SaaS, marketplace, etc.)
  • Required features
  • Design preferences
  • Technical requirements

2. Code Generator

Multiple specialized models:

  • UI Model: React/Next.js components
  • Logic Model: Business logic and APIs
  • Data Model: Database schemas
  • Style Model: Tailwind CSS styling

3. Build Pipeline

  • TypeScript compilation
  • Dependency resolution
  • Environment setup
  • Preview deployment

Tech Stack Generated

Every Spawned app includes:

  • Frontend: Next.js 14 with App Router
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS
  • Database: Supabase (Postgres)
  • Auth: Supabase Auth or custom
  • Deployment: Vercel-ready

Iteration Model

The AI maintains context across conversations:

  • Remembers previous requests
  • Understands existing code structure
  • Makes targeted changes vs full rewrites
  • Learns from user feedback

Code Quality

Generated code follows:

  • TypeScript strict mode
  • ESLint best practices
  • Accessibility standards
  • Performance optimization
  • Security patterns

Integration Points

Supabase

  • Auto-generates schemas
  • Creates RLS policies
  • Handles migrations

Stripe

  • Payment intent setup
  • Webhook handling
  • Subscription management

Solana

  • Wallet connection
  • Token interactions
  • Transaction signing

Limitations

Current limitations:

  • Complex animations require manual tweaking
  • Highly custom backends may need expert review
  • Very large apps benefit from modular prompts

Prompt Engineering Tips

For best results:

  1. Be specific about features
  2. Mention design preferences
  3. Specify user flows
  4. Include edge cases
  5. Iterate in small chunks
