Compelling that it's all in one - you manage backend/database? What if I want to bring my own Supabase database?

Aditya Oberai

@daniele_packard One really cool feature that Imagine offers is an agent dedicated to provisioning cloud resources for our in-built backend offerings (database, storage, etc.). This substantially streamlines the process of configuring database tables, adding new indexes, setting up a storage bucket and so on with the appropriate permissions.

That being said, Imagine does not restrict you from connecting to any external services via their APIs.

@daniele_packard Thanks for the kind words. Imagine is built on top of Appwrite Cloud, and both products are developed by the same team. This lets us treat them as a single, integrated system rather than stitching together separate services.

Appwrite already includes databases, authentication, storage, messaging, realtime, hosting, an edge network, and built-in security features. Imagine uses all of this directly when generating an app. The agent does not just write code - it provisions the backend, configures hosting, and wires everything together automatically.

Instead of toggling between Supabase for backend, Vercel for hosting, and an AI builder on top, you get one seamless experience. In most cases, you do not even need to know Appwrite is running in the background - it simply works as part of the product generation flow.

If you prefer Supabase, you can ask the agent to use it, but you will lose the native integration and end-to-end workflow that make Imagine shine.

@daniele_packard also important to note, Appwrite is 100% open source (55k stars on GitHub) and can easily be self hosted. You can learn more on https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite

Congrats to the Appwrite team on launching Imagine. I have been building with Appwrite for a long time and actively contribute to the Appwrite open source projects. I have also used Appwrite Cloud and Imagine, and it is great to see Imagine building real applications on top of Appwrite’s infrastructure. Excited to the support the launch and see where this goes.

This looks really excellent, excited to try it out. Will it have in-app payment infrastructure, Stripe, etc.?

Eldad Fux

@jimt1277 You can already integrate with external tools including Stripe, but we also plan to have a built-in integration for this.

Steven Nguyen
@jimt1277 I recently implemented stripe integration with just one prompt! 🔥🚀💲

Hey, not to sound rude or anything- How is this different from other no-code tools?

I tried using this tools multiple times already, and aside from having Appwrite built into the product, I can't find any features that place it above other existing tools like v0 or bolt.

I'm curious if I'm missing something, or maybe using the tool incorrectly

Eldad Fux

@raisfeld_ori Not rude at all, it's an important question. With Appwrite built-in, you get all the backend and hosting tools you need baked into the product.

The traditional database, auth, storage and messaging without needing to integrate with Supabase or any other 3rd party. With Appwrite Sites you get integrated hosting, Vercel level, again - built in, including edge network, SSR, CDN and DDoS protection.

The difference is in convenience and experience. With Appwrite being 100% open source and self-hostable - all this comes also with no vendor locking.

ori raisfeld

@eldad_fux Definitely agreed. Having Appwrite built into a tool makes the project take significantly less time to develop.

Once this tool matures a bit more and starts gaining more features, I believe it can replace most of the tools I currently use

Ariel Weinberger

@raisfeld_ori Thanks for the question! Have you tried Imagine specifically yet? I encourage you to think of a prompt for a real complex product and provide it to both v0 and Imagine. Let us know how it went.

ori raisfeld

@arielweinberger I used it to develop a MVP for one of my projects.

I really like the authentication, storage and messaging features being built in, it makes the product feel more realistic and less like a mockup.

But it's also a disadvantage, since the MVP took longer to develop, since I had to also design a backend structure and bug fix more than usual.

I think it would be better for bigger projects, but at the point I don't think I can vibe-code the entire thing, so I'll probably not use Imagine for this task.

Now that I think about it, if I had this embedded in VScode it would be perfect, actually. Does this project have an API I can use?
