DevPlan.ai — From idea to plan in 1s

AI-powered app that turns your project idea into a full dev plan and pitch deck — with tech stack, roadmap, file structure, and export tools. All built with Bolt.new.

🌟 Inspiration

We were inspired by how many great app ideas never get built — not because people can’t code, but because they don’t know where to start. DevPlan.ai was born from the need to bridge that gap between an idea and a real, developer-ready roadmap.

🛠️ What it does

DevPlan.ai takes a one-sentence app idea and instantly generates:

  • A recommended tech stack (frontend/backend, database, etc.)
  • A development roadmap (phases and tasks)
  • A suggested file structure
  • Deployment strategies
  • And a full pitch deck!

All of this is exportable as PDF or Markdown. The user can even launch a coding session right away via StackBlitz or local setup.

🔧 How we built it

We used Bolt.new to vibe-code the entire app interface and logic.

  • The frontend is React + Tailwind CSS
  • The AI logic was designed with smart prompting
  • Hosted on Netlify, deployed in minutes
  • Exports and viewer logic done with JavaScript & markdown-to-pdf

We iterated twice using AI-generated UI and added UX polish by hand.

🧗 Challenges we ran into

  • Prompt engineering for consistent pitch deck output
  • Markdown-to-PDF formatting for nested lists and code blocks
  • UI/UX balance between simplicity and power

🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a full-featured SaaS-like MVP in under 48h using AI
  • Generated all UI with Bolt.new (including pitch deck cards!)
  • Successfully deployed and fully usable live demo
  • The product dogfoods itself: DevPlan.ai can describe its own plan

📚 What we learned

  • The power of natural language prompts to generate real tools
  • How AI can accelerate both frontend AND business logic
  • The importance of export options to support real-world use

🚀 What’s next for DevPlan.ai — From idea to plan in 1s

We plan to:

  • Let users save multiple plans to their dashboard
  • Offer pitch deck export to Google Slides
  • Add more deployment options (like Vercel + Fly.io)
  • Release DevPlan API for other tools to embed
  • Add subscriptions

Thanks to Bolt.new for enabling fast, expressive building. Let’s vibe-code the future!
