Orchids

Orchids is a development environment with integrated artificial intelligence that allows you to create apps, games, AI agents, and browser extensions regardless of your level of technical skills. With it, you can describe what you want to create in natural language and receive a fully functional project in return, from the frontend to the database and payment systems, without having to manually configure programming environments or install external dependencies.

Create a project from a text prompt

To create your project, all you have to do is type out what you want to build in the chat, and the agent takes care of generating the complete project architecture, writing the necessary code, and automatically launching it. You can request anything from a landing page with a contact form to an interactive game with a database, and the system will interpret your description in natural language to transform it into a real-life project with all its files structured. If the result is not exactly what you had in mind, you can continue conversing with the agent to adjust colors, change behaviors, or add sections without having to tinker with the code directly.

Compatibility with frameworks and languages

Orchids lets you specify which language you want to build your project in, including React, Next.js, Python, Swift, or Flutter. As a result, the agent automatically adapts the generated structure to your preferred stack. This makes it a highly flexible option, whether you are a developer looking to speed up your usual workflow or someone with no technical knowledge who simply wants to bring an idea to life. Furthermore, it supports the creation of a wide variety of project types, including bots for Slack, custom AI agents, and full web browser extensions.

Integration with your AI subscriptions

A practical feature that makes Orchids stand out from alternatives like Bolt or v0 is that you can connect it with your subscriptions to artificial intelligence models. If you have an active ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini account, you can directly associate your API key so that the agent uses that model as a reasoning engine. This allows you to leverage the potential of the most advanced models on the market without having to pay for an additional license, simply by employing the one you already use in your day-to-day development.

Site cloning and integrated code editor

If you would prefer to use the design of another existing site as a base over starting from scratch, Orchids has a URL cloning feature that is especially useful for rapid prototyping. Just paste the link of any webpage and the system will replicate its visual structure so that you can modify it and adapt it to your needs. For projects that require more precise adjustments, there is an integrated code editor where you can manually modify any generated file, export it in its entirety to host it on your own server, or publish it directly to the custom subdomain that the platform assigns you instantly.

My experience with Orchids

I tried adding several of the projects I have in development with other AI-based programming apps, and Orchid works just as well as any other competing apps. I tried modifying a Lightroom plugin and making small changes to an open-source Android app where the code is on GitHub, and it managed to perform them perfectly after several minutes of processing. I also tried copying a webpage, and Orchids replicated the code perfectly, making for a solid starting point to customize the content of my own project.

What I liked most about Orchids and what could be improved

· What I liked most: The speed at which it converts a simple paragraph of text into a fully functional web project and the flexibility to associate your own AI keys at no additional cost.

· What could be improved: More complex projects with very specific business logic sometimes require quite a few rounds of conversation to fine-tune the details, which uses up your free tokens and forces you to wait for them to reset, or enter a paid AI account.
