Alvis is a platform for building the applications your business runs on — enrollment systems, CRMs, inventory and orders, job tracking, approvals, reports — without writing code. Not even AI-generated code.

You describe what you need, and Alvis builds it — with AI as your building partner. Every part of the app is laid out visually, so you can see exactly how it works and stay in control of it.

The name says it: Alvis — Application & Logic, Visualized.

Why we built it

Alvis is a no-code AI app builder for business. Code-generating AI app builders promise to make software development accessible to everyone: describe what you want, and AI writes the code. But what happens when you don’t understand that code? How do you confidently change, maintain, and grow an application you don’t fully understand?

For non-developers, that can mean ending up with code they don’t know how to maintain — and an app they’re not really in control of. Alvis is built to be different: no code at all, and every part of your app laid out where you can see it.

We wanted the opposite: the speed and ideas of AI, with the understanding and control of having built it yourself.

How it works

You see everything

Alvis builds your app, and everything in it is laid out visually — something you can see, understand and edit directly:

  • Data — the tables your business tracks, their fields, rules, and how they relate.
  • Pages and forms — lists, detail pages, dashboards, and the forms people fill in.
  • Automations — what happens when a record is created or a status changes, on a schedule, or when a webhook arrives.
  • Access — roles, and exactly what each role can see and do.
  • Reports and documents — the printouts and reports you need, ready to export.

AI works alongside you

You can start from an idea — “a school enrollment system with students, classes and fees” — or from something you already have, like a spreadsheet, a paper form or a PDF. AI asks the questions that actually change the build, proposes a plan, and helps you shape it.

When you want to change something, you can do it directly, or ask AI. Either way you see a plain-language plan and preview the exact changes before anything is applied. Every version is saved, so you can always roll back.

AI helps you explore ideas, solve problems and simplify the complex parts. It doesn’t take over, and it doesn’t leave you depending on code you can’t read.

The platform keeps it safe

Every Alvis app runs on the same foundation, so every app gets the same guarantees: permissions that are enforced, rules that hold, and a history of who changed what.

What you can build

If your process runs on records, forms and approvals, you can build it in Alvis. Teams use it for:

  • School management — admissions, enrollment, classes, grades and fees.
  • CRM and sales — contacts, deals, quotes and orders.
  • Operations — inventory, purchasing, job orders and deliveries.
  • Back-office — requests, approvals, HR and reports.

Not sure where to start? The Alvis marketplace has ready-made apps you can install and then make your own.

Who it’s for

Alvis is for the people who understand a process best — the registrar, the operations manager, the clinic administrator, the business owner — and who have never been the people who could build software for it. Until now.

The Alvis philosophy

You’re the builder. AI is your partner.

Your vision leads. AI empowers. You build together — and you stay in control of what you build.
