The Base44 backend service and the CLI are currently in beta. We’re actively improving the platform and documentation based on user feedback. Share your thoughts and feature requests on our GitHub Discussions page.
The Base44 backend service provides everything you need to build and deploy your applications. Your entire backend is defined in code and configuration files, making it easy for AI coding agents to build and manage your project.

​
Get started

Get started by letting an AI coding agent set up your project, or set it up yourself with the CLI and then continue building with AI.
Install Base44 skills so your coding agent can assist with Base44 development:
npx skills add base44/skills -g
Then open your AI coding tool and try a prompt like this:“Create a new Base44 project for a task management app with users, tasks with due dates and priority levels, and team assignments. Add authentication and deploy it.”Your agent will install the CLI, create the project, define entities, write code, and deploy. Learn more about skills >
You may be prompted to authenticate with Base44 during setup.

​
Build with AI

With Base44 skills installed, your AI coding agent can handle the full development lifecycle. Define entity schemas, write backend functions, configure AI agents, set up authentication, and deploy to production. Describe what you need and your agent will make the changes across your project.

​
