Codev, published at co.dev, is an AI app-building platform founded in 2023 by Andrew Kim and Uladzislau Radkevich and backed by Y Combinator. Radkevich previously helped scale Revolut's payments infrastructure past 20 million users, and the two built Codev to shorten the distance between a product idea and a working app.
A user describes an application in plain language, and Codev's AI generates a full Next.js frontend wired to a Supabase backend for database, authentication, and storage. The generated app is live and editable right away, and the source code can be downloaded or connected to a custom domain with automatic SSL, which sets it apart from tools that only produce a static prototype.
Codev suits founders and product teams validating SaaS ideas, internal tools, or marketing sites without hiring a developer first, though it is not built for mobile apps or high-traffic, crawler-heavy applications. A free tier covers one public project with limited AI usage; the Plus plan at $19/month adds private projects, code downloads, and GitHub integration, with custom Enterprise pricing above that.
