Serenities

What is Serenities?

Serenities is a platform for building working applications using AI. Instead of configuring a full technical stack—authentication, database, hosting, and deployment—you describe what you need and the platform builds the app components for you.

The platform also includes managed authentication, a visible data layer (database you can edit), built-in visual automation with integrations, and Stripe payments setup, so the app can handle signups, data access, workflows, and checkout without writing custom glue code.

Key Features

• AI app builder: Describe an app and the platform generates the database, authentication, hosting, and deployment setup, reducing time spent on setup decisions.
• Bring your own AI or use built-in credits: You can use an existing ChatGPT/Claude subscription or start with built-in credits for building.
• Live preview with instant changes: View updates while editing so you can verify UI and behavior as you build.
• Managed authentication with role/permission controls: Enable auth with a toggle, configure login/signup, password reset, email verification, page protection, and enforce access via row-level access control.
• Base (visual database) you can manage like a spreadsheet: Edit and inspect stored data directly in a spreadsheet-style interface; the platform supports 18 field types, multiple view types, and linked records.
• Built-in flows and automations with 29 integrations: Create visual workflows using triggers (webhooks, schedules, and table events) and utility nodes (e.g., HTTP, if/else, loops) to connect the app to tools like Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Discord, and messaging platforms.
• Stripe payments setup: Connect a Stripe account and manage products/pricing in settings; checkout and subscriptions are handled without writing payment code.

How to Use Serenities

1. Start a new build: Begin by describing what you want to create (e.g., a CRM, booking system, client portal).
2. Set up authentication: Tell the AI to enable auth (login/signup, roles/permissions, and any page protection and row-level access needs).
3. Work with the database: Use the built-in “Base” interface to view, filter, sort, and edit the data your app stores, including defining field types and linked records.
4. Add automation: Create flows that trigger on events (table row created/updated/deleted), schedules, or webhooks, then connect actions to external services via the included integrations.
5. Enable payments: Connect Stripe in settings, configure products and pricing, and use the platform’s checkout to handle one-time purchases and subscriptions.

Use Cases

• CRM with working login and controlled access: Build a CRM where authenticated users can sign up, view protected pages, and only see allowed records via row-level access control.
• Booking system that syncs with external calendars: Create a booking workflow where booking events trigger automated updates in tools like Google Calendar, with schedules or webhook triggers when needed.
• Client portal with managed user roles: Set up an app where different user roles see different pages and only access the appropriate rows in the underlying database tables.
• Order handling with notifications: When an order record is created, trigger a flow that sends confirmations or alerts through integrations such as Gmail and Slack.
• Subscription-based service with Stripe checkout: Add Stripe to accept payments and manage subscriptions, so users can check out directly from the app.

FAQ

• Can I use my existing AI subscription? Yes. The platform supports “bring your own AI” (using your ChatGPT/Claude subscription) or you can use built-in credits.

• Do I have to set up databases and authentication manually? No. You describe your app needs, and Serenities handles database, auth, hosting, and deployment setup. Authentication can also be enabled via a toggle.

• Where is my app’s data stored and can I manage it? The platform’s database is managed in a visible “Base” interface (spreadsheet-style), where you can filter, sort, and edit data and configure field types and views.

• What kinds of triggers can I use for automation? Flows can trigger from webhooks, schedules, and table events such as row created/updated/deleted.

• Does Serenities handle payments or do I need to write payment code? Serenities supports Stripe by connecting your Stripe account and managing products/pricing in settings; checkout and subscriptions are handled through the platform.

Alternatives

• No-code app builders with integrations: Tools that combine UI building, databases, and workflows can provide a similar “build apps without deep stack configuration” experience, though the scope of managed auth/data visibility may differ.
• Workflow automation platforms plus a separate app/database: You can pair a database/app tool with an automation service (e.g., visual workflow builders) to connect systems, but it typically means managing more pieces separately.
• Backend-as-a-service (BaaS) with a frontend builder: A BaaS can offer auth and databases, while a separate frontend builder handles UI. This shifts work back toward wiring components and configuring access control.
• Custom development with an AI coding assistant: AI-assisted coding can produce app functionality, but you generally still manage authentication, data access, and payment wiring in the codebase rather than relying on a managed platform workflow.
