Show HN: Pipo360 – Generate production-ready back end APIs in 60 seconds with AI

https://pipo360.xyz
18•the_plug•7mo ago
Hi HN ,

I got tired of writing the same boilerplate over and over — DB setup, auth, routes, security — every time I built a backend.

So I built Pipo360 — an AI-powered tool that generates production-ready backends in under 60 seconds, from just a plain-text description.

How it works: Type what you need

“Create a task management API with user auth and MongoDB”

Hit Generate

Get real, exportable code

Auth (JWT)

Database schema

CRUD routes

Deployable to Vercel, AWS, etc.

No templates. No lock-in. Just code that works.

Why it’s different: Built with Gemini AI + human supervision (to ensure real prod-quality output)

Exports to MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite

Secure by default (JWT, RBAC, etc.)

Supports no-login backend previews

Try it live (No signup needed): https://pipo360.xyz

Would love feedback: What backend would you try first?

What would make it better for your workflow?

Would open sourcing part of it be useful?

Your colors on dark theme make some of the callouts unreadable.

Windows - Chrome 137.0.7151.104

the_plug•7mo ago
let me fix that in a few ,i will update you
the_plug•7mo ago
Thanks for reporting this! I've updated the dark theme colors to improve readability of the callouts. The fix should be live now - let me know if you're still seeing any issues with readability on your setup
kleiba•7mo ago
Aren't you worried that this functionality will just be available in one of the regular AI IDEs in one of their next updates?
the_plug•7mo ago
nah , i am not worried , everybody is trying to be a generalist
the_plug•7mo ago
and if they did , that means there is competition and a market
rootnod3•7mo ago
I mean, you probably very likely use an existing AI and just prompt it, no?
hilti•7mo ago
Looks interesting but I don‘t understand the pricing. Why the monthly plan if I deploy to my computing resources?
the_plug•7mo ago
Unlimited backend generations (vs. limited free gens)

AI-powered enhancements to evolve your code

Access to the in-browser editor, project management, versioning

Future features like team collab

You’re free to deploy anywhere — Vercel, AWS, your own VPS, etc. The plan is about giving you a complete dev experience, not locking you in.

Open to feedback — would love to hear what pricing model you'd prefer!

klez•7mo ago
In some parts of Italy, the name will make people's inner 12-year-old giggle. It sounds like a childish name for "penis". Do what you will with this information.
makapuf•7mo ago
Also, in French, pipeau is a kind of flute. "Playing flute" meaning bulshitting. Do what you will with this information.
the_plug•7mo ago
Luckily, at Pipo360, we’re doing the opposite: cutting through BS and giving devs real, working backends in 60 seconds.

No flute-playing here. Just code.

French devs — we see you

This reply was 100% generated by chatgpt. It always gives me that style. "No <X> here. Just <Y>"
the_plug•7mo ago
No prompts here. Just a dev building fast and figuring it out in public
averageRoyalty•7mo ago
You literally have em-dashes in your reply and original post. You are following the very standard "No X, no Y - just Z" ChatGPT speech pattern.

You are either lying or you've learnt english from ChatGPT.

gardenhedge•7mo ago
Very rude to continue to lie about it
the_plug•7mo ago
Thanks for the heads up - that's exactly the kind of cultural insight we need as we build for global markets. We're evaluating our options and really appreciate you taking the time to share this
can16358p•7mo ago
So, the initial demo is nice but I'm wondering at what level of complexity does it start "breaking"/hallucinating and not start producing anything useful.

Having said that, tools like this are the future for sure!

the_plug•7mo ago
Great question — and totally fair.

Right now, Pipo360 handles CRUD-heavy apps, user auth, and DB integration across 16 frameworks + 14 DBs really well.

But yes — when you ask for complex, multi-service architectures or deeply custom business logic, the AI can still hallucinate or need refinement. We're actively working on grounding and constraints to improve that.

That said, we've shipped:

Live code editing

AI refinement (on top of generated code)

Full project management

So if it doesn't get it right 100%, you can still tweak it in-browser instantly.

And you're absolutely right — this is the future. Our goal: take you from boilerplate to 80% of a usable backend in 60 seconds or less.

Would love to know what you’d want it to build — happy to test its limits with you.

rco8786•7mo ago
Genuine question, was this reply generated or in any way augmented by AI?
the_plug•7mo ago
nah , i have taken time to write it nothing much
averageRoyalty•7mo ago
100% AI written for sure. You can tell by the final call to action, the em-dashes and the nauseating "always agree with the user" style of response.
the_plug•7mo ago
Hey HN

Just wanted to share a big update on Pipo360 since the original post — thanks to your feedback, it's evolved from an AI backend generator into a full dev workspace.

Here’s what’s new:

16 frameworks supported (Express, Django, Spring Boot, Rails, etc.)

14 databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.)

AI-powered code enhancement (edit & improve generated code)

Full in-browser code editor

Project saving, loading, and 1-click export

Real-time sync across sessions

We’re working on 1-click deploy, team collaboration, and API testing next.

Try it here (no signup required): https://pipo360.xyz

Would love your thoughts: What features would make this serious enough to replace Firebase/Supabase in your workflow?

What part still feels “AI toy” vs “real dev tool”?

Where do you think it will break or fall short at scale?

Appreciate everyone who tried it out and gave feedback — this is being built with you, not just for you.
