# Builder.io

> Builder.io is an AI-powered collaborative workspace that lets engineering, design, product, and content teams generate and ship production-ready web apps, UIs, and headless content from a single platform.

Builder.io is an AI product development platform built by Builder.io, Inc. It provides a collaborative workspace where every role on a product team — engineering, design, product management, and content — can build and ship production-ready code alongside AI agents. The platform is actively developed and commercially available, with an enterprise tier targeting large organizations and a self-serve path for smaller teams.

## What It Is

Builder.io sits at the intersection of visual development, headless CMS, and AI code generation. It offers two core products: **Fusion**, which generates production-ready web apps and UIs from scratch, from Figma designs, or from an existing repository; and **Publish**, which lets teams create, optimize, and publish on-brand content and experiences to any site or app via API. Together they cover the full spectrum from prototyping to headless content management, all within a single workspace connected to a team's real codebase and design system.

## How the Two-Product Architecture Works

- **Fusion** handles code generation — web app development, design-to-code conversion, and functional prototyping. It connects to an existing GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps repository and generates code that respects the team's existing architecture, component library, and conventions.
- **Publish** handles the headless CMS and page-builder layer — creating, iterating, and optimizing pages and headless content that can be delivered to any frontend via API.
- Both products share a common workspace with roles, permissions, and review workflows so engineers can approve every change before it ships.

## Who It Is Built For

Builder.io explicitly targets four roles within product teams:

- **Engineering teams** — accelerate UI development, eliminate blank-screen paralysis, and maintain code quality while shipping faster.
- **Design teams** — implement visual improvements, create interactive prototypes, and maintain design system consistency without traditional handoffs.
- **Product teams** — rapidly prototype features, collaborate on user flows, and make changes to web apps without consuming engineering sprints.
- **Content teams** — manage copy and content updates, roll out site-wide changes, and launch campaigns without creating engineering tickets.

## Enterprise Capabilities and Security

The enterprise tier adds capabilities specifically for large organizations shipping at scale:

- SOC 2 Type II compliance, SSO/SAML, and privacy-first architecture
- Granular role-based access control (RBAC) across multiple teams, workspaces, and environments
- Access control lists to restrict AI-generated changes to approved directories
- No training on customer code or content; customers can choose their preferred LLM to meet compliance requirements
- Integration with enterprise git providers (GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, Azure DevOps)
- Forward Deployed Engineers, Customer Success Managers, and priority support

The enterprise page states that "3 out of 4 of the largest US companies ship faster with Builder Enterprise plans," a vendor-published claim.

## Update: Fusion and Visual Copilot

The homepage announces **Visual Copilot** — described as enabling "Figma to production in half the time" — as a current launch. Fusion, the code-generation product, is positioned as the primary AI development surface, supporting web app development, design-to-code workflows, and prototyping. The platform also supports MCP servers for integrating with internal systems, and offers VS Code and Cursor extensions alongside a Figma plugin. The product updates page (builder.io/updates) tracks ongoing feature releases.
