the autonomous AI software agent.
Which tech stacks work with Robodev?
Robodev is fine-tuned for Node.js and Nest.js, bringing the flexibility of Node together with the scalable structure of Nest. This combo enables clean, maintainable architecture ideal for complex APIs, with seamless GitHub deployment to fit any Node or Nest workflow.
How fast does Robodev deliver complete code?
Robodev transforms backend coding time from weeks to hours. For simple API setups, you’ll have production-ready code in minutes. Complex requirements? Robodev’s AI tackles multi-layered logic with ease, delivering robust, reliable code faster than any manual approach. For example, a task management backend with user authentication and data handling can be done in under two hours—versus the traditional 1–2 weeks!
Can I use Robodev for frontend development too?
Currently, Robodev focuses solely on backend development, providing the solid infrastructure needed for scalable APIs. This allows your frontend team to start sooner and sync easily, helping reduce project timelines overall. For frontends, Povio’s team or other tools step in, but for backends, Robodev has you covered!
Can I modify the code manually after generation?
Yes, you can modify the code manually after generation. Robodev’s AI writes clean, well-structured code following best practices and clean architecture, making it easy to update or extend manually. Even after manual edits, you can continue using Robodev to add new endpoints or features without breaking the existing structure. However, if significant architectural changes are made manually, you may need to realign the project with Robodev’s specifications for future updates.
Is Robodev suitable for existing projects?
Currently, Robodev is optimized for building new backend projects from scratch and is not designed to work directly with existing codebases. However, it excels in creating high-quality backend code for new applications or projects requiring a fresh start. While it doesn’t support modifying or updating existing endpoints, you can use it to add new endpoints or modules to projects generated by Robodev itself.
Does Robodev generate test code?
Yes, Robodev can generate test code for your backend APIs. The generated tests are designed to validate the functionality and ensure that endpoints work as expected. While test code may not always be included in demos to save time, it is available for most use cases. The tests follow the same clean architecture principles as the generated backend, making it easy to maintain and expand.
What are Robodev’s limitations?
Currently, Robodev handles Node.js and Nest.js backend tasks with 95% automation. Other stacks like .NET or Python aren’t supported yet, and certain unique requirements may need small manual adjustments. We’re expanding its capabilities to meet even more backend needs to be available soon.
How does Robodev ensure security?
Your code is private and secure, exported directly to your GitHub, keeping full ownership with you. Robodev’s APIs include complete Swagger documentation, making it easy to review, monitor, and protect all endpoints, with security built into every step.
