A year ago, building a full-stack app meant hours of coding, debugging, and head-scratching. Now?

It’s a whole new world.

AI is here to take the grunt work off your hands.

With code generation tools like Cursor AI, GitHub Copilot, or the newly launched Windsurf by Codeium, you can speed up your coding workflows dramatically.

Or, skip the heavy lifting entirely with AI app builders like Databutton, Bolt.new, or Replit Agent, which let you create full-stack MVPs using natural language.

This Week’s Experiment
During a live stream with my colleague, Viral Shah (Databutton's co-founder), we built a cool app: PDF to Smart Notes.

Viral Shah on LinkedIn: Customers asked how Databutton is different than Bolt.new, so we did a…

It was fun to try out our first live stream! We've had a lot of customers coming in lately building apps that rely heavily on PDF processing features, so we…

The app takes PDFs, extracts text with AI, and generates actionable sticky notes—all in a matter of minutes. Here’s a glimpse of the tech stack Databutton used while building the app;

Backend: FastAPI routers for seamless APIs.

Databutton generated three Python backends for building this MVP. Essentially in Databutton, backends are Fast API routers.

Frontend: React.js with ShadCN and TypeScript for a modern UI.

Databutton generated this backend with a single prompt. Watch the video to see the entire app functionality.

One-click Deployment — The app was deployed with just one click within the Databutton’s infra.

This level of simplicity is what makes Databutton stand out.

A process that used to take weeks is now a live-stream experiment—and it works.
