What is Stellify?

Stellify is a super framework designed primarily for AI. Instead of supporting every possible framework combination, we focus on one proven stack. On the server, it uses Laravel—the most popular PHP framework. On the frontend, it provides a purpose-built framework with constrained, predictable APIs that AI can reliably generate code against, with adapters for Vue, React, and Svelte. This combination makes AI development faster and more efficient: the backend has Laravel's mature, well-documented patterns, while the frontend eliminates the ambiguity and API sprawl that causes AI to hallucinate.

The Framework and Your Business Logic

There's a clear separation between Stellify—the underlying framework—and business logic. Stellify handles routing, authentication, database connections, asset bundling, and hosting. You write the code that makes your application unique: controllers, models, services, and frontend components.

You own your business logic completely. Export it, modify it, deploy it anywhere. The framework stays with us.

How You Work

There are three ways to build in Stellify:

Write code yourself — Use the cloud-based editor to write PHP and JavaScript directly. Syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and live preview are built in.

Import existing code — Bring in code from the editor or connect your GitHub repository. Stellify parses it into its structured format so AI can work with it.

Let AI write it — Describe what you want and AI generates the code. Because Stellify's APIs are constrained and predictable, AI produces reliable, working code—not guesswork.

Most projects use a combination of all three. You might scaffold a feature with AI, refine it by hand, then import a utility from another project.

Structured Code

Stellify stores code as structured data, not text files. Methods contain statements, statements contain clauses—the system assembles these into valid PHP or JavaScript.

This enables surgical AI edits. Instead of regenerating entire files, AI modifies specific methods. No syntax errors. Changes tracked at the function level.

When you're ready, Stellify assembles your code back to source files. Export to your desktop or push directly to GitHub.
