Frequently asked questions

Gainable is the world's first fully natural language IDE. It lets anyone build production-ready apps by simply describing what they want in natural language. No coding required. Unlike other AI coding tools that create demos that break in production, Gainable builds apps that work from the first prompt.

Vibe coding is a term coined in February 2025 describing the practice of building software by describing what you want to an AI, rather than writing code yourself. It's already being used by 78% of AI users to build internal tools at work. Gainable takes vibe coding from "cool demo" to "production-ready" - that's why we say "vibe coding finally grew up."

Gainable is for anyone who needs custom software but doesn't want to wait months or pay for bloated solutions. HR teams building review systems, Sales teams creating pipeline dashboards, Ops teams automating workflows - anyone who's tired of begging IT or settling for software that doesn't fit their needs.

No. Gainable is designed so that anyone can build production-ready apps using natural language. You describe what you want, and Gainable builds it. That said, developers love it too because it handles the tedious infrastructure work automatically.

Internal tools, dashboards, workflow apps, data management systems, collaboration tools, customer portals - essentially any business application. Gainable comes with authentication, data storage, real-time collaboration, file sharing, notifications, and agentic AI built in, so you can build sophisticated apps without worrying about infrastructure.

Most AI coding tools are frontend-first - they build pretty UIs and pray the backend works. Gainable is backend-first. We start with solid data models, APIs, and authentication, then the frontend falls into place. This means your apps actually work in production, not just in demos. We also offer on-premise deployment, enterprise features built-in, and one-click deployment - things others simply don't have.

Drag-and-drop is dead. Those platforms were built for a pre-AI world, and it shows - bloated architectures, endless configuration screens, and you still end up fighting the tool instead of building your app. Gainable skips all that. Just describe what you want in natural language and get a real, production-ready app - not a Frankenstein of widgets duct-taped together. No dragging, no dropping, no legacy baggage.

Other AI tools generate beautiful UIs first and bolt on databases and authentication later - which is why they break. Gainable uses a schema-first architecture: we build your data models, APIs, and security layer first, then generate the UI on top of a solid foundation. It's how senior engineers build software, not how junior developers hack together demos.

Because our architecture is deterministic, not improvised. We use an opinionated stack, composable approach, and ground everything with unit testing. While other tools generate spaghetti code that becomes unmaintainable, Gainable generates 90% smaller codebases that actually work. Our infrastructure-first approach means we don't have the retry loops and error cascades that plague other tools.

Absolutely. Gainable's smart architecture means your apps stay clean and flexible. Add features, tweak workflows, evolve your app - without the whole thing falling apart. Most AI-built apps turn into a tangled mess when you try to change something. Ours don't.

Yes. You own your code completely. Gainable generates clean, maintainable code that you can export, modify, and deploy anywhere. No vendor lock-in.

Everything you need to build production apps: data models, APIs, authentication (JWT + RBAC), user management, database, file sharing, notifications, real-time collaboration, connectors to external services, and agentic AI capabilities. All built-in from the start - no plugins or integrations required.

Real-time collaboration infrastructure is standard in every Gainable app. While other tools say "sorry, not possible" or give you broken WebSocket implementations, we bake it in from the start. Multiple users can work together in your apps seamlessly.

Yes. Gainable includes connectors that let you build on top of your existing systems. HR can build review systems on Workday's data, Sales can build pipelines on Salesforce's API, Ops can build workflows on ServiceNow's tickets. Your apps integrate with what you already use.

Agentic AI refers to AI capabilities built into your apps that can take actions, make decisions, and automate workflows. With Gainable, you can build apps where AI agents handle tasks like data processing, notifications, and automated responses - all described in natural language.

Gainable uses flat monthly pricing with no credits or per-prompt charges. Starter is $99/month for individuals, Team is $299/month for startups, and Enterprise is $2,499/month for custom infrastructure and on-premise deployment. Build as much as you want - the bill stays the same.

Other platforms charge credits because their AI fails constantly and needs multiple retries. Our infrastructure-first approach means deterministic generation - no retry loops from broken code. We're laser-focused so there's no waste. That's why we can offer unlimited usage at a flat rate.

Yes. Gainable can be deployed on-premise, in your private cloud, or even on your laptop. Zero external dependencies. Build hundreds of apps behind your firewall with full control over your data and infrastructure.

Gainable is built to be SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR ready. With on-premise deployment, your data never leaves your environment - ever. This is what enterprise AI should have been all along.

With Gainable, your data stays in your environment under your control. Other platforms send your data to their servers under their rules. We believe you should own and control your data completely.

JWT authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) are baked in from line 1. While other tools slap on clunky auth as an afterthought (creating security nightmares), Gainable builds security into the foundation of every app.
