Pulse App Builder | Build, Automate, Ship
Platform Overview

Build, automate, and ship
full-stack applications
with AI at the center.

Every project starts as a blank canvas with isolated infrastructure. Add any combination of service nodes (websites, APIs, automations, databases, CMS, commerce, analytics, live ops) and the project becomes whatever you need.

AI Assistant

A conversational AI that goes beyond writing code to orchestrate your entire project. Spin up services, manage content, update products, query data, generate images, and build APIs, all from a single chat.

Conversational Project Control

Every project gets a dedicated AI runtime. Describe what you need and the assistant handles the rest, writing code, calling platform tools, and coordinating services in one conversation.

  • Natural Language → Platform Actions. "Add a product catalog with sample products" provisions commerce, creates products, and wires them in
  • Dynamic Tool Access. Capabilities grow with your project. Add a CMS node and it gains content tools
  • Streaming & Transparency. Watch every tool call execute in real time
  • Token & Cost Visibility. Track AI usage per session with budget controls
