Show HN: Open-source AI Retool, where AI does the tooling

I have been trying to create AI retool where tooling is done via AI, to create full stack apps like internal portals, ERP apps. Which led me to an architecture where we give ai pre build component, tools and let is just do the binding, content generation work to create full stack apps. With this approach in a single prompt AI is able to generate final config jsons using chained/looped agentic llm flow and we render a full stack app with the configs at the end. I have open sourced the whole project whole code, app builder, agentic architecture, backend for you to use.

Hey HN, I built this as a developer who was tired of wiring forms to endpoints and stitching together internal tools. OneShotCodeGen lets you describe the app you want (e.g. “an employee onboarding tracker with HR approvals”) and it generates the full stack: data models, UI config, logic, and live preview—all via an AI agent that runs a multi-step flow under the hood.

You can self-host it (everything’s open-source), customize the AI agent flows, or use the cloud version to try it instantly. Would love feedback from anyone building with Retool/Appsmith or thinking about AI-driven interfaces.

Happy to answer questions or help you set it up.
