Why Floyant?
Your AI agent writes the app. Floyant runs it.
Floyant works alongside the AI agent you already use — Claude, Codex, or any other — while it builds complete custom applications.
Both write the app. The difference is how much infrastructure you choose to assemble and maintain underneath it.
What an app is
- Coding agent alone (Claude, Codex, …)
- Any framework and custom code — you choose every layer.
- Floyant
- Structured data, screens, workflows, and API definitions on one shared platform.
Common foundations
- Coding agent alone (Claude, Codex, …)
- Can build or integrate storage, forms, APIs, schedulers, and credentials — your team selects and maintains the stack.
- Floyant
- Reuses shared data, screen, API, and workflow capabilities rather than selecting a new stack per app.
Change and maintenance
- Coding agent alone (Claude, Codex, …)
- Agents help modify code, but your team owns integration, dependencies, and upgrades.
- Floyant
- Related pieces can be inspected together on one platform; the operator still owns upgrades, backups, and tests.
Review and release
- Coding agent alone (Claude, Codex, …)
- Can use Git, CI, and any process you engineer yourself.
- Floyant
- Draft → validate → preview → review → publish lifecycle on one app definition — planned for v1.
Relationship to AI
- Coding agent alone (Claude, Codex, …)
- Direct agent use gives maximal code freedom.
- Floyant
- Agents can help author supported Floyant app definitions; built-in AI co-building and dedicated external-agent tooling are still being built.
A concrete case: a request desk
With a coding agent
The agent writes a custom front end, storage layer, API, and scheduled job — assembled and maintained by you, per app.
With Floyant
Data, screens, and automations run by the platform — the same building blocks every app reuses.
Why pay for a platform?
You'd pay for reduced assembly, less repeated maintenance, and a shared operating model. Pricing is being shaped with early-access teams and published before general availability.
Pricing directionFair fit — honest boundaries
Direct coding is better when
- · You need arbitrary, highly custom UX
- · The app is native or offline-heavy
- · It's a tiny one-off tool with few requirements
Floyant fits when
- · The shape is repeatable: data + interface + automation
- · You'll run several such apps over time
- · Shared foundations beat per-app stack assembly
And to be clear
- · Coding agents can build equivalent controls — and self-hosting is available to custom apps too. Floyant adds shared foundations; engineering judgment still applies.
- · Self-hosted operators keep infrastructure, backups, and upgrades in their hands. App definitions are purpose-built for the Floyant platform.
- · The core platform — data, screens, automations, APIs, scheduling, connected services — runs today; editing tools, AI co-building, and the release lifecycle are on the way.
