How AppGenie builds your social app
A look at the multi-agent pipeline that turns your prompt into a generated codebase.
- 1
A1 picks the social preset
IntentClassifier sees "social" and routes to the feed + messaging + profile pipeline.
- 2
A3 drafts the social model
PRDWriter outlines users, posts, follows, and messaging shapes for sign-off.
- 3
A4 + A5 generate the app
Architect plans the feed, profile, and chat surfaces; CodeGenerator wires WebSockets, image upload, and notifications.
- 4
A6 validates the build
Validator runs a build check; you get a live preview to scroll the feed and send messages end-to-end.
The bottom line
Social apps live or die on engagement loops, not on the underlying plumbing. AppGenie scaffolds the feed, follows, messaging, and notifications in one pass — so you can spend day one on community design instead of WebSocket boilerplate.
