What is Pre.dev?
pre.dev is a self-driving engineering platform that takes software ideas from plain English descriptions to deployed applications autonomously. You describe what you want to build, and pre.dev's AI agents handle everything: architecture planning, coding, testing, and shipping. The platform uses three autonomous agents that cover the full software workflow—Architect Agent for planning, Coding Agent for building, and Browser Agents for execution—which can be used standalone or stitched together.
Key features include AI architecture planning that creates complete roadmaps with milestones, user stories, and subtasks before writing code; autonomous coding agents that write code, run tests, and open pull requests; acceptance verification through type checks, linting, and visual browser verification; and production-ready GitHub workflow where every completed task creates a feature branch and PR. The platform also supports importing any existing repository, connecting external services via API keys (Exa, Tavily, Firecrawl, and more), and runs code in a secure sandbox environment.
pre.dev is designed for founders and PMs who want to go from idea to working product without writing code, solo developers who want to ship faster, teams who want agents to handle implementation while they focus on code review, and agencies that need to prototype and deliver client projects at scale. The platform supports any tech stack, any framework, and any language, with agents that can run for hours, days, or weeks on complex projects.
The platform produces specifications that are 20x more detailed than typical AI plan modes, breaking down every feature into granular, actionable subtasks with acceptance criteria. Every task is verified before moving on, and the AI never pushes to main—users review and merge on their terms. Long-running agents enable complex, multi-step projects, and the adaptive tech stack means the agent adapts to your stack rather than the other way around.

Frequently asked questions about Pre.dev
What is pre.dev?
pre.dev is an autonomous coding platform that takes your software idea from description to deployed application. You describe what you want to build in plain English, and pre.dev handles everything: architecture, planning, coding, testing, and shipping. It uses three autonomous agents—Architect Agent for planning, Coding Agent for building, and Browser Agents for execution—but you can use any of them standalone or stitched together.
How does pre.dev work?
pre.dev works in 3 steps: 1) Describe Your Idea in natural language—no tech experience required. 2) AI Architects the Full System—pre.dev's architecture agent researches your idea, designs the system, and produces a complete roadmap with milestones, user stories, subtasks, and complexity estimates. 3) Autonomous Agents Ship Your App—focused build agents tackle each task with isolated context, write code, run tests, pass acceptance verification, and open pull requests with no babysitting required.
What makes pre.dev different from other AI coding tools?
pre.dev plans like a dev team before writing code—researching, architecting, and building a complete roadmap with milestones, user stories, and subtasks. It ships everything autonomously with one-click 'Build All'. Every task is verified through type checks, linting, and visual browser verification before moving on. Every completed task creates a feature branch and PR—the AI never pushes to main. It produces specifications 20x more detailed than typical AI plan modes.
Who is pre.dev for?
pre.dev is for Founders & PMs who want to go from idea to working product without writing code; Solo Developers who want to ship faster with AI handling the heavy lifting; Teams who want autonomous agents to handle implementation while they focus on product decisions and code review; and Agencies that need to prototype and deliver client projects at scale with the same team.
Can I import an existing repository?
Yes, pre.dev lets you import any repo. You can reverse-engineer existing repositories, adapt to any tech stack, and continue building without starting from scratch. The platform supports refactoring or building new features on existing codebases.
What tech stacks does pre.dev support?
pre.dev supports any stack, any framework, and any language. The agent adapts to your stack, not the other way around. It can handle multi-service architectures modeling any combination of services including frontend, backend, database, cache, and more in a single sandbox environment.
How are pull requests handled?
Every completed task creates a feature branch and opens a PR. The AI never pushes to main. You review and merge on your terms. This production-ready GitHub workflow ensures code review happens before merging to the main branch.
What integrations can I connect?
You can connect your external services via Integrations using your API keys. Supported services include Exa (neural search), Tavily (real-time search API), Perplexity (Sonar models), Brave Search, You.com, Firecrawl (web-to-markdown), Serper (Google Search API), SerpAPI, Browserbase (serverless browsers), Apify (pre-built Actors), Jina AI (Reader API), and ScrapingBee (web scraping).
What is the difference between fast-spec and deep-spec?
fast-spec is for quick prototypes and MVPs, costs 10 credits, takes ~30-40 seconds, and provides high-level subtasks only. deep-spec is for production features and complex systems, costs 50 credits, takes ~2-3 minutes, and provides granular breakdown with detailed subtasks.
Are Browser Agents included in all plans?
Yes, Browser Agents are included in all plans. The Free plan includes 1 Browser Agent Task. Plus includes ~2,000 Browser Agent Tasks. Premium includes ~5,000 Browser Agent Tasks. Pro includes ~25,000 Browser Agent Tasks. Enterprise includes Unlimited Browser Agent Tasks. Browser Agents handle browser automation like scraping authed dashboards, filling forms, clicking through multi-step flows, and extracting structured JSON.
