Base44

Opus 4.8 is now available on Base44. After testing Anthropic’s newest model, we found it to be 15% faster, and significantly better at handling complex tasks with greater precision. Try it now in your apps or with superagents.

Jaison Jayaraj is a student & founder living in NYC, which means he's on budget. He needed a way to keep track of all the cheap food spots he'd found across the city. He saw Korea’s “beggar map” going viral. It helped people find cheap meals nearby. NYC had nothing like it. So Jaison built one. He called it Got2Eat. A map for finding meals under $12 in NYC. Built in hours with Base44. Then people started using it. 3,000+ users in days and almost 1,000 restaurants added. It’s now live in NYC, Miami, Chicago, SF and growing.

Just wrapped a talk with Gabriel Grinberg at Code with Claude in London about something we're still wrapping our heads around: in less than a year, Base44's R&D went from 1 to 80. A few things we tried to get across on stage: As AI compounds, your operational mode has to compound with it. This is true for your product, but it's at least as true for your process. If your process doesn't get better when the next model ships, your process isn't structured right. For small teams, keep it simple! lean on AI extensively, but resist the urge to build sophisticated process around it early on. A smart prompt goes a long way these days. The scaffolding can wait until you actually need it. Some business-critical efforts are genuinely hard to do well early on. Find a smart proxy instead. Evals were ours. Proper evals are brutal work: the right test set, the right rubric, the right scoring loop, and keeping it all from rotting the second a new model ships. We replaced the whole thing with our now-famous Base Frustration Score. It carried us further than the formal version would have at that stage. Huge thanks to the Anthropic team for the warm welcome, the brilliant audience, and the genuinely killer makers swag.

We just shipped a major design update to Base44 - built to help you make something that's truly yours. Collaborate on a shared canvas, restyle your app's entire look in seconds, and generate assets right where you need them. It's a new playing field for designing with AI.

Hyped to officially introduce the Technical Mentors supporting Cohort 1 of the Base44 Accelerator! 🪄 ✨ 🎩 Up until our Demo Day finale in NYC on July 23rd, these 7 magicians will serve as the technical backbone of the program, providing every team with direct access to 1:1 support from Base44’s internal team. One of the biggest challenges for early founders is getting stuck after the initial excitement of the demo. Hitting technical roadblocks, struggling to scale features, or feeling frustrated when they can’t take their app further on their own. That’s exactly why this mentorship layer exists. From debugging and infrastructure guidance to scaling workflows, integrations, and product architecture, these mentors will work closely with founders to help turn fast-moving MVPs into scalable businesses. Huge thank you to these operators for taking the time to mentor and support the next generation of builders. 👏

Tomorrow, May 13th at 1 PM ET we’re doing a live AMA on Reddit with Mendy Edri & Nitzan Pode Yuster, from the team who built Base44 Superagents! Join us to find out how superagents can help supercharge your team, business or personal life.

Base44's app agents now give every app a direct line to its users. This means users can interact with your app's data and functionality through an automated agent - inside the app or across external messaging channels. These agents can answer, act, remember context, and connect to other tools your app needs. Set them up from the Agents tab in your app dashboard.
