Edit the spec, see it in preview instantly — build a real system with one engineer
d-bye compresses the time and cost of building a business system with two things: a fast start from templates, and AI that edits the design spec directly. Replace the spreadsheets, paper, and email your business runs on with a real system — even if you can’t hire engineers, or have just one.
Templates take you from requirements to a working system immediately
All six templates — approval workflow, inventory, sales orders, contact management, project/cost management, attendance — ship with real data and run live in your browser right now.
- ✓Instead of gathering requirements from a blank page, you work with a running template and figure out only the difference from your process.
- ✓Screens, data model, workflows, and permissions are all adjusted in the GUI — hand-building table design or CRUD screens isn’t part of the loop at all.
The AI edits the design spec, not code
Most AI coding tools generate or edit code directly, so every change needs a build-and-run cycle to verify. That wait adds up fast as a codebase grows.
- ✓d-bye’s AI edits the design spec (the screen, data, and flow IR) instead of code. A change shows up in the live preview immediately — no build step in between.
- ✓Once a change looks right, you move straight to the next one. There’s no “generate → build → fix the error → regenerate” loop built into the process.
- ✓This doesn’t remove code-quality checks — it moves them. Every export automatically runs a type check and a compile check before it ships, catching bugs mechanically.
That’s why one engineer is enough to reach a real system
A template you only need to adjust, combined with AI edits that don’t make you wait on a build, compresses work that used to take a team weeks.
- ✓The back end supports multiple languages, so you can match your existing setup (See supported languages & databases).
- ✓What you get is ordinary source code (front end, back end, database schema). Export the full ZIP, and an engineer you hire later — or an outside partner — can read and pick it up.
- ✓When your process changes, you edit the spec and regenerate — not a patch on hand-written code, so it never becomes a rebuild.
A typical workflow
- Pick the template closest to your process (approval workflow, inventory, sales orders, contact management, project/cost management, attendance).
- Adjust the screens, data, and flows in the live browser preview to match your process.
- Choose the back-end language and database, and generate code that has already passed type checks and a compile check.
- Export the full source as a ZIP and deploy it on your own infrastructure.
- When your process changes, edit the spec — not the code — and regenerate.

FAQ
- Can I use this with zero engineers on staff?
- Designing the screens, data, and flows in the GUI on top of a template doesn’t require an engineering background. That said, having at least one person who can read the generated code makes deeper customization possible.
- How much does this cut requirements-gathering work?
- Because you adjust a working template with real data instead of starting from a blank page, you only need to work out the difference between the template and your process. The actual reduction depends on how complex your process is.
- How is code quality assured?
- Every generation automatically passes type checks and a compile check before export. Whether the business logic itself is correct still needs its own acceptance testing.
- How is this different from other AI coding tools?
- Tools that generate or edit code directly require a build-and-run cycle to verify each change. d-bye’s AI edits the screen, data, and flow spec directly, so you can verify that same change in a live preview with no build step. Code-level checks aren’t skipped — every export still runs a type check and a compile check.
- How is this different from outsourcing (contracted development)?
- Contracted development depends on people for everything from requirements to implementation, which takes time. d-bye compresses design, build, and part of test through templates and generation — but deciding what the system should do is still your team’s job.
- What does it cost?
- Design and preview are free in Sandbox, no credit card required. Exporting the full source requires Personal or higher.
