How a Spec Becomes a Full-Stack App: The Three-Layer Model
The architecture behind Remy: how annotated prose compiles into methods, tables, and roles, then projects onto eight interfaces from a single backend contract.
Remy vs Bolt: Only One Hands You the Blueprint
Bolt generates an app from prompts and a one-time plan. Remy compiles a plain-language plan you keep — the source of truth the app is rebuilt from. Here's the difference.
Remy vs Claude Code: One Builds Apps, One Edits Code
Claude Code is a coding agent that edits your repo. Remy is a product agent that compiles a plain-language plan into a deployed full-stack app. Which to use when.
Remy vs Cursor: When You Need a Product Agent, Not a Coding Agent
Cursor is a coding agent that edits code in a project you own and deploy. Remy is a product agent that compiles a spec into a deployed full-stack app. Which to use when.
Vibe Coding vs Spec-Driven Development: Why One Scales and One Doesn't
Vibe coding ships demos fast. Spec-driven development ships apps that evolve. Here's the structural difference—and why it decides what happens after the demo.
MSFM: The Markdown That Compiles Into Full-Stack Apps
MSFM (MindStudio-Flavored Markdown) is the plan Remy compiles into an app: readable prose plus structured precision. Here's what it is, why it exists, and why you don't hand-write it.
A Model API Gives You Tokens. Remy Ships a Running App.
A foundation-model endpoint returns text. Remy compiles a spec into a deployed full-stack app — backend, database, auth, frontend, tests, and hosting in one step.
MSFM Explained: How Annotated Markdown Compiles Into Apps
MSFM adds two annotation primitives—block and inline—plus pointers to standard Markdown. Learn the syntax that turns prose into production code.
What Is a Product Agent? The AI That Ships a Whole App, Not Code
A product agent compiles a plain-language spec into a full-stack app—backend, database, auth, deployment. Here's how it differs from coding agents and app builders.
The First Product Agent That Ships Whole Apps
Remy is a product agent: describe an app in plain language and it builds the full stack—backend, database, auth, frontend, deployment. Here's how it works and what it costs.
Five Internal Tools You Can Ship with AI in an Afternoon (and What Each One Costs)
Vendor approvals, CRMs, HR trackers, inventory dashboards, internal wikis — five internal tools you can describe to Remy in plain English, each compiled for around $100 in inference.
10 Real Apps Built on Remy — and What Each One Reveals
A guided tour of 10 apps from the Debut gallery — the public showcase of full-stack apps people have shipped on Remy — and what each one reveals about the architecture.
Remy vs Lovable: Only One Ships a Native Full Stack
Both build apps from a description. Lovable stitches a stack from third-party services; Remy compiles a native full stack from one plan you own.
What Is Spec-Driven Development? When the Spec Becomes the Source Code
Spec-driven development makes annotated prose the source language and code the compiled output. Here's what that means, why it works, and what it's best for.
