Avoid at All Costs: Total Account Wipeout, No Recovery, No Accountability
I used Emergent for client work and rapid prototyping. In mid-January one of my accounts suddenly was gone. The account was there, I could log in but every single app I had built—hours of customizing, tweaking, working, —vanished. Deleted. Gone. No warning, no backup prompt, no “oops we migrated” email. Just poof.
I opened a support ticket immediately (January 19). It’s now February 13. Almost a full month later. Zero meaningful response. No restoration. No timeline. No apology. No refund. No executive escalation. Crickets.
Yesterday I logged into my other personal project account and found it too was empty....the folders are there for all the apps I had been building, just no code. Gone. Once again I contacted support, once again got a response to do this or that -- everything I had done (clear the cache, open it in vscode --this one I had already done and sent screenshots to show there is nothing in there) They do not seem to care. I had been a paying customer since Aug 2025, never missed a payment, bought a lot of extra tokens, had spent a lot of time building apps there.
The damage:
Lost a major paying client who was literally days away from final sign-off.
Burned through weeks of billable dev time I can never recover.
Destroyed months of momentum and portfolio pieces I was using to close new deals.
Emergent
Hi makers!
I'm thrilled to launch Emergent on Product Hunt today. We built Emergent because we believe everyone with ambitious ideas should be able to turn them into full-scale apps with just a prompt.
We believe the next big creator wave is happening in software and the old barriers of needing an expensive dev team has to be overcome for the world's most ambitious ideas to come to life.
We've built a system that emulates how a real, high-quality engineering team ships. Our core is a multi-agent system, where agents specialise:
Planning Agent for architecture
Coding Agent for the build
Testing Agent to test your apps
Deployment Agent to handle production errors
This end-to-end autonomous approach is why we were able to reach #1 in the world on the SWE-Bench benchmark. Our focus is on high-quality, bug-free, shippable apps.
We're extremely proud of what we're unlocking for non-technical makers around the world. We're seeing our users launch ideas they abandoned because of the complexity and cost of a dev shop.
Over 1.5M users have built 2M+ apps so far,
A Michigan jewellery store owner built an app to price repairs across 50 stores and now she's selling to other jewellers.
A small business owner replaced spreadsheets with an app that lets staff snap a photo to quickly onboard wheelchairs.
A UK ex-product manager launched an EV marketplace app for the booming electric vehicle sector.
If you wish to experience what building on a truly agentic platform looks like, use the code PH10 to get 10% off across all our plans (monthly/yearly) for the next 24 hours.
What do you wish to build? What excites you about Emergent? What would you like to know before vibe coding your ideas?
We're here to answer any questions you have about our product. Thanks for checking us out!

@mukundjha Congrats on the launch! From early days of emergent to the product what is live now, we've come a long way! 🚀
@mukundjha I never would have dared to hope for a tool that acts like a team member and creates excellent solutions that help us in teaching and daily organization at the vocational college. The option to export and use the created solutions as Docker containers is fantastic — all, of course, with the help of AI. Really cool tool!
@mukundjha You're the first project that's done almost exactly what I needed. Good luck on your long and successful journey!
Emergent
That's great to hear,@den_pokali and thank you for your support!
What are you building?
@mukundjha Big-data for HR and some pet-projects
@mukundjha Hey! I've been working with AI tools for about two months now, and Emergent has been one of my favorites from the start — it really does an amazing job. Just yesterday, I launched my own website on my own domain, and I'm super happy with the result! Emergent has truly helped me a lot, and I’m sure it will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommended!

@mukundjha @deditecai thank you for the support. Would love to see you continuing on your building journey. Don't stop, keep going till the time you have brought to life an idea you have always dreamt about.
@mukundjha @nitprashant wow very inspiring thank you. i needed that
@mukundjha Congratulations. Rooting for next milestones!! :) :)

Congrats on the launch, @madhav_jha and @mukundjha !
So excited to see a killer AI product come out of India and take on the likes of global giants.

@madhav_jha @mukundjha @tejaskinger It's time!
Emergent
Thank you, Tejas!
This is wild. 3.5 months since launch and over 1.5M users have built 2M+ apps!.
That’s not just growth, that’s ignition. 🚀
What’s exciting about Emergent isn’t just the speed, it’s what it represents.
For years, “no-code” meant toy projects.
Emergent feels like the first platform where AI actually builds, not just scaffolds. The fact that you can go from an idea in your head to a production-ready app in one chat thread is something founders have been dreaming about for a decade.
Big congrats to @mukundjha @madhav_jha and the team for pulling this off.
Feels like we’re watching the moment where building software finally becomes as natural as thinking it.

Thank you for hunting us, Kevin! @kevin

https://www.producthunt.com/post... @mukundjha @pranav_potdar Love that Pranav. What is the next thing you are building?
Emergent
Great stuff, Pranav!
@mukundjha @nitprashant Honestly, I am thinking of building the decision maker for enterprise. I have listed around 200 variables for it, but want to streamline and create it better for the product experience.
Another product I want to build is a pdf parser which will analyse insurance policies as I believe a huge chunk of insurance policies sold in India are mis-sold.
But my really ambitious product would be in the field of education, where a personalised "WAY" of teaching will be created based on the student - this is extremely hard to crack. Right now the available solutions are very basic, and barely solve the problem. I need to quantify how Tacit Knowledge can be put into this (for eg. you can't teach someone to ride a bicycle just by reading How To Ride a Bike) and see what can be done. This is a project which will last at least a few months to few years.
Meanwhile I will be working on whatever I get as an assignments for PM/APM roles as well. Emergent has helped really put my foot ahead in this part. Better than lovable and bolt both.

@mukundjha @pranav_potdar Love your ambition for sure. Please do keep us posted on bringing them to life goes.
Pretty cool, @pranav_potdar
Thanks for your support!
Love this space - truly heating up. Would you help differentiate or add reasons on when should one use Emergent vs the incumbents?

Building software at the speed of thought feels like a real superpower! I’ve been addicted to Emergent for quite some time and couldn’t recommend it more :)

@prithvi_sankar thank you for the support. What are you building these days? :)
It's solving the biggest piece of puzzle for the product managers.
I'm going to tech team after creating the MVP myself, which used to be a week long effort before. Our GTMs are 40-50% faster now. These guys are creating real value
@yashdeep_sharma - seeing PMs do a lot of cool things with Emergent, including acing interviews: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/emergentlabs_build-with-emergentsh-activity-7382447371118575617-Qs4E
